Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSW-109-11-L-S-RA is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Series: TSW series only
• Number of Positions: 9 positions
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination Method: Solder
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The identified substitute part TSW-109-11-L-S-RE maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction between the main part and the substitute is the mounting orientation: the TSW-109-11-L-S-RA features right-angle mounting, while the TSW-109-11-L-S-RE is configured for vertical mounting. Both parts share identical contact specifications, pitch, position count, and environmental ratings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TSW-109-11-L-S-RA and TSW-109-11-L-S-RE are active products from Samtec Inc. with full ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these parts depends solely on the required mounting orientation for the application:

• TSW-109-11-L-S-RA: Select when right-angle mounting orientation is required for the PCB layout.
• TSW-109-11-L-S-RE: Select when vertical mounting orientation is required for the PCB layout.

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, environmental ratings, and contact specifications. The choice is determined by mechanical fit and board design requirements only.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TSW-109-11-L-S-RE be used as a direct replacement for TSW-109-11-L-S-RA?

A: Electrical and mechanical compatibility is maintained between these parts. However, the mounting orientation differs: TSW-109-11-L-S-RA is right-angle mounted, while TSW-109-11-L-S-RE is vertically mounted. PCB layout and connector positioning must accommodate the specific mounting style required.

Q: Are the contact specifications identical between these substitute parts?

A: Yes. Both parts feature 9 male pins with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, gold-plated mating contacts, tin-plated posts, and phosphor bronze contact material. Contact length, insulation height, and all electrical properties are identical.

Q: Do both parts meet the same environmental and compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both TSW-109-11-L-S-RA and TSW-109-11-L-S-RE operate across -55°C to 125°C, meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements, and are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two connector variants?

A: The sole difference is mounting orientation. The TSW-109-11-L-S-RA provides right-angle mounting for applications requiring horizontal connector positioning, while the TSW-109-11-L-S-RE provides vertical mounting for applications requiring perpendicular connector positioning.

Q: Are there any restrictions on interchangeability based on packaging or inventory considerations?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. TSW-109-11-L-S-RA has 780 units in stock, while TSW-109-11-L-S-RE has 865 units in stock. Selection should be based on application requirements and availability.
