TSW-113-14-G-D-LL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSW-113-14-G-D-LL is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole board-to-board or cable applications. This 26-position, 2-row connector operates across a wide temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and features gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts with kinked pin solder termination. The part maintains Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating, making it suitable for industrial and commercial applications requiring reliable interconnection.

Equivalent substitute parts are necessary when addressing supply chain constraints, obsolescence concerns with alternative designs, or when specific manufacturing certifications or compliance requirements align with project specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSW-113-14-G-D-LL is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: 26 positions, 2 rows, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and row spacing
• Contact System: Male pin, gold-plated mating surface, square contact shape
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole mounting with solder termination capability
• Environmental Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, MSL Level 1
• Electrical Interface: Board-to-board or cable connection style, unshrouded design

The substitute parts 1-104433-3 and 6-146264-3 (both TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, AMPMODU Mod II series) satisfy these core substitution criteria. Both maintain identical position count, pitch spacing, contact type, and mounting configuration. Variations in insulation material (LCP vs. Thermoplastic), contact finish thickness, and product status are secondary considerations that do not prevent functional equivalence within the specified parameter set.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TSW-113-14-G-D-LL (Primary Selection)

The TSW-113-14-G-D-LL maintains Active product status with full ROHS3 compliance, making it the preferred choice for new designs and applications requiring current manufacturing support. The extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) provides broader environmental capability compared to substitute options. This part is recommended for applications where long-term availability and regulatory compliance are critical.

6-146264-3 (Secondary Substitute)

The 6-146264-3 offers functional equivalence with ROHS3 compliance matching the primary part. Despite Obsolete product status, this TE Connectivity connector maintains the same 26-position, 2-row configuration with kinked pin solder termination. The LCP insulation material and gold-plated mating contacts align with core substitution parameters. This part is suitable for legacy system maintenance or applications where TE Connectivity component qualification is required.

1-104433-3 (Tertiary Substitute)

The 1-104433-3 provides dimensional and electrical compatibility but carries RoHS non-compliance status and Obsolete product designation. The press-fit termination differs from the kinked pin design of the primary part. This connector is limited to applications where RoHS compliance is not mandated and existing TE Connectivity qualification exists. Availability constraints associated with obsolete status should be considered.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1-104433-3 and 6-146264-3 be used interchangeably with TSW-113-14-G-D-LL?

A: Both TE Connectivity parts satisfy core substitution criteria: 26 positions, 2 rows, 0.100" pitch, male pin contacts, through-hole mounting, and push-pull fastening. However, differences in termination method (press-fit vs. kinked pin), insulation material, and product status require design verification. The 6-146264-3 is more closely aligned due to kinked pin termination matching the primary part.

Q: What are the implications of the Obsolete product status for 1-104433-3 and 6-146264-3?

A: Obsolete designation indicates discontinued manufacturing. Inventory availability is limited to existing stock. For new production designs, the Active status TSW-113-14-G-D-LL is recommended. Obsolete parts may be acceptable for maintenance or low-volume legacy applications where existing qualification exists.

Q: How do the operating temperature ranges differ, and does this affect substitution?

A: The TSW-113-14-G-D-LL operates from -55°C to 125°C, while both TE Connectivity substitutes operate from -65°C to 105°C. The primary part offers higher maximum temperature capability. For applications requiring operation above 105°C, the TSW-113-14-G-D-LL is required. For applications within the -65°C to 105°C range, substitutes are functionally equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS compliance differences?

A: The TSW-113-14-G-D-LL and 6-146264-3 are ROHS3 compliant, meeting EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements. The 1-104433-3 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements, only ROHS3-compliant parts are acceptable. The 1-104433-3 is limited to applications where RoHS compliance is not mandated.

Q: How do contact finish thickness variations affect performance?

A: The TSW-113-14-G-D-LL features 10.0µin (0.25µm) gold plating on mating contacts, while both TE Connectivity substitutes provide 15.0µin (0.38µm). Thicker gold plating on substitutes offers enhanced wear resistance and corrosion protection. This variation does not prevent functional equivalence but may provide improved long-term reliability in high-cycle mating applications.

Q: Are there packaging or inventory considerations for these parts?

A: The TSW-113-14-G-D-LL has 910 pieces in stock (Bulk packaging). The 1-104433-3 has 2000 pieces available (Bulk packaging). The 6-146264-3 has 1140 pieces available (packaging not specified). Inventory levels should be verified with suppliers, as obsolete parts may experience supply volatility.

Q: What is the difference between kinked pin and press-fit termination?

A: Kinked pin termination (TSW-113-14-G-D-LL and 6-146264-3) features a bent contact post for solder attachment to PCB pads. Press-fit termination (1-104433-3) uses a straight contact post inserted into plated through-holes without solder. Both methods provide electrical connection; however, PCB design and assembly processes differ. Verify PCB pad design compatibility before substitution.
