Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSW-110-08-F-D-LL is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pin contacts
• Position Count & Row Configuration: 20 positions in 2 rows
• Pitch Specifications: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole mounting with solder termination
• Contact Material & Finish: Phosphor bronze with gold-plated mating surface
• Insulation Material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT)
• Environmental Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and ROHS3 compliance

The substitute part PBC10DABN meets all critical substitution criteria. Both connectors share identical position counts, pitch specifications, mounting methods, contact materials, and insulation composition. Both are active products with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 ratings, ensuring functional and regulatory equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TSW-110-08-F-D-LL and PBC10DABN are active products with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 material flammability ratings, meeting current regulatory requirements. The PBC10DABN offers an extended lower operating temperature limit of -65°C compared to the TSW-110-08-F-D-LL at -55°C, providing broader thermal performance capability. The PBC10DABN includes breakaway connector functionality and specifies a 3A current rating, whereas the TSW-110-08-F-D-LL does not provide current rating specifications in the available data. Both connectors are functionally equivalent for standard through-hole board-to-board and cable applications with matching pitch, position count, and contact configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes PBC10DABN a valid substitute for TSW-110-08-F-D-LL?

A: Both connectors share identical critical specifications: 20-position, 2-row configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, through-hole mounting, unshrouded design, phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating, and PBT insulation. Both are ROHS3 compliant with UL94 V-0 ratings and active product status.

Q: Are there physical compatibility differences between these connectors?

A: The connectors have minor dimensional variations. The TSW-110-08-F-D-LL has an overall contact length of 0.530" (13.46mm) with kinked pin termination, while the PBC10DABN has an overall contact length of 0.560" (14.22mm) with standard solder termination. These differences may affect PCB layout and mating depth considerations in specific applications.

Q: What is the difference between kinked pin and standard solder termination?

A: The TSW-110-08-F-D-LL uses kinked pin termination, while the PBC10DABN uses standard solder termination. Both are solder-based mounting methods suitable for through-hole PCB assembly. Kinked pins provide additional mechanical retention during soldering.

Q: Does the PBC10DABN breakaway feature affect substitution compatibility?

A: The breakaway feature on the PBC10DABN is an additional capability that does not prevent substitution. The connector functions identically to the TSW-110-08-F-D-LL in standard applications. The breakaway feature provides design flexibility for applications requiring individual row separation.

Q: What is the significance of the extended temperature range on the PBC10DABN?

A: The PBC10DABN operates from -65°C to 125°C, compared to the TSW-110-08-F-D-LL range of -55°C to 125°C. This extended lower temperature capability makes the PBC10DABN suitable for applications requiring operation in more extreme cold environments.

Q: Are both connectors suitable for the same PCB assembly processes?

A: Both connectors are through-hole mounted components with solder termination, compatible with standard PCB assembly processes. The minor differences in contact post length and termination style do not prevent use in equivalent manufacturing environments.
