Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TSW-108-24-F-D are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The following parameters determine substitution eligibility:

• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 16
• Number of Rows: 2
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The HTSW-108-24-F-D meets all critical substitution criteria, maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications while differing in insulation material composition and color designation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TSW-108-24-F-D and HTSW-108-24-F-D are active products from Samtec Inc. with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The primary distinction lies in insulation material composition: the TSW series uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), while the HTSW series employs Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP). Both materials satisfy the specified operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and maintain identical electrical and mechanical performance characteristics. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific material requirements and inventory availability, as both meet all critical compliance and performance parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HTSW-108-24-F-D replace TSW-108-24-F-D in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical pitch (0.100"), position count (16), row configuration (2), contact geometry, termination method (solder), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). The insulation material difference (LCP versus PBT) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility within the specified operating temperature range.

Q: What is the significance of the insulation material difference?

A: The TSW-108-24-F-D uses PBT insulation, while the HTSW-108-24-F-D uses LCP insulation. Both materials are UL94 V-0 rated and support the -55°C to 125°C operating range. Material selection may influence mechanical properties such as dimensional stability or chemical resistance in specific environments, but electrical performance remains equivalent.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both TSW-108-24-F-D and HTSW-108-24-F-D are ROHS3 compliant and carry EAR99 export classification.

Q: What are the key parameters that must match for substitution?

A: Critical matching parameters include connector type (header), contact type (male pin), position count (16), row count (2), mating pitch (0.100"), row spacing (0.100"), mounting type (through hole), termination method (solder), and fastening type (push-pull). Operating temperature range and flammability rating must also align.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in PCB designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical footprint requirements, contact spacing, and mounting hole patterns. PCB designs accommodate either part without modification.
