TSW-110-14-S-S-LL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSW-110-14-S-S-LL is an active rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc. This through-hole vertical header connector features 10 positions with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing and is designed for board-to-board or cable applications. The connector utilizes kinked pin solder termination with push-pull fastening and is constructed with phosphor bronze contacts finished in gold for mating surfaces and tin for post surfaces. The insulation material is polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) with UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Finding equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure supply chain flexibility, manage inventory across multiple suppliers, and maintain design compatibility when the primary part becomes unavailable.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TSW-110-14-S-S-LL are determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (10)
• Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Termination method (Kinked Pin, Solder)
• Contact material (Phosphor Bronze)
• Contact finish for mating surface (Gold)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• RoHS compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant)

The HTSW-110-14-S-S-LL meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute. Variations in insulation material (LCP versus PBT) and insulation color do not affect functional compatibility when all other electrical and mechanical parameters remain equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TSW-110-14-S-S-LL and HTSW-110-14-S-S-LL are active products from Samtec Inc. with identical ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Inventory availability: TSW-110-14-S-S-LL has 955 pieces in stock; HTSW-110-14-S-S-LL has 804 pieces in stock
• Insulation material preference: PBT (TSW series) versus LCP (HTSW series)
• Insulation color requirement: Black (TSW series) versus Natural (HTSW series)
• Moisture sensitivity: TSW-110-14-S-S-LL is MSL 1 (Unlimited); HTSW-110-14-S-S-LL is Not Applicable

Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical performance across all critical parameters including contact geometry, termination method, operating temperature range, and contact finish specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HTSW-110-14-S-S-LL be used as a direct replacement for TSW-110-14-S-S-LL?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical specifications for connector type, contact type, position count, pitch spacing, mounting method, termination type, contact material, contact finish, and operating temperature range. The differences in insulation material (LCP versus PBT) and insulation color do not affect functional compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between the insulation materials used in these two parts?

A: TSW-110-14-S-S-LL uses polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) insulation with black color. HTSW-110-14-S-S-LL uses liquid crystal polymer (LCP) insulation with natural color. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and support the same operating temperature range.

Q: Are there any moisture sensitivity differences between these parts?

A: TSW-110-14-S-S-LL is rated MSL 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity level). HTSW-110-14-S-S-LL is rated Not Applicable for moisture sensitivity. This difference does not affect connector performance in standard operating conditions.

Q: Do these connectors have the same contact finish specifications?

A: Yes. Both parts feature gold-plated mating contacts with 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness and tin-plated post contacts. Contact material is phosphor bronze for both parts.

Q: What is the pitch spacing for these connectors?

A: Both connectors use 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, which is the standard spacing for this connector family and determines compatibility with mating connectors and PCB layouts.
