Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSW-110-12-L-S-RA is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Manufacturer and Series: Both parts must originate from Samtec Inc. within the TSW series
• Connector Type and Contact Type: Header with male pin configuration
• Number of Positions and Pitch: 10 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• Mounting and Termination: Through-hole solder termination
• Contact Material and Finish: Phosphor bronze with gold mating finish and tin post finish
• Insulation Material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C
• Compliance Standards: ROHS3 compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The TSW-110-12-L-S-RE qualifies as a substitute part because it matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The difference in mounting orientation (right-angle versus vertical) does not affect substitution eligibility when the application circuit design accommodates the alternative mounting configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TSW-110-12-L-S-RA and TSW-110-12-L-S-RE are active production parts from Samtec Inc. with full ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these parts depends on circuit board layout requirements and available mounting space. The TSW-110-12-L-S-RA provides right-angle mounting for applications requiring horizontal connector orientation, while the TSW-110-12-L-S-RE accommodates vertical mounting configurations. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance across the -55°C to 125°C operating range and are suitable for industrial applications requiring long-term reliability. Inventory availability is adequate for both variants, with the TSW-110-12-L-S-RE showing slightly higher stock levels at 766 units.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TSW-110-12-L-S-RE replace TSW-110-12-L-S-RA in all applications?

A: The TSW-110-12-L-S-RE qualifies as an electrical and mechanical substitute when the circuit board layout accommodates the alternative mounting orientation. Both parts share identical contact specifications, material composition, and operating parameters. Physical board space and connector positioning requirements determine practical substitutability.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is mounting orientation. The TSW-110-12-L-S-RA features right-angle mounting, while the TSW-110-12-L-S-RE provides vertical mounting. All other specifications—contact pitch, number of positions, material composition, temperature range, and compliance certifications—are identical.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both TSW-110-12-L-S-RA and TSW-110-12-L-S-RE are ROHS3 compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating, meeting regulatory requirements for industrial and consumer applications.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: Can these connectors operate in high-temperature environments?

A: Both parts are rated for -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range, suitable for industrial applications including automotive and telecommunications environments.
