Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TSW-113-17-L-S and 0022284134 maintain Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 ratings, ensuring regulatory alignment and supply chain stability. The primary design consideration is the difference in overall contact length: the Samtec part features 0.830" (21.08mm) overall contact length, while the Molex substitute provides 0.530" (13.46mm). This dimensional variance affects mating depth and board-to-board spacing requirements. The Molex part includes a Breakaway feature option, providing additional design flexibility for applications requiring modular connector configurations. Both parts employ identical mating pitch (0.100"), position count (13), and push-pull fastening, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility at the interface level. Insulation material differs between PBT (Samtec) and glass-filled polyamide (Molex), with both meeting UL94 V-0 flammability standards. Selection between these parts should be based on specific board layout constraints, mating depth requirements, and application-specific environmental conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitution compatibility between TSW-113-17-L-S and 0022284134?

A: The critical parameters are mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), number of positions (13), number of rows (1), connector type (Header), contact type (Male Pin), mounting type (Through Hole), termination method (Solder), and fastening type (Push-Pull). Both parts meet these specifications identically.

Q: How do the contact length differences affect substitution?

A: The TSW-113-17-L-S provides 0.830" overall contact length compared to 0.530" for the 0022284134. This affects the mating depth and the distance between the PCB surface and the mating connector. Applications with space constraints or specific board-to-board spacing requirements must account for this dimensional difference during design validation.

Q: Are there insulation material compatibility concerns?

A: The TSW-113-17-L-S uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) insulation, while the 0022284134 uses glass-filled Polyamide (PA/Nylon). Both materials achieve UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Material selection should be evaluated based on application-specific thermal cycling, chemical exposure, and mechanical stress requirements.

Q: Do both parts support the same operating temperature range?

A: The TSW-113-17-L-S specifies -55°C to 125°C operating temperature. The 0022284134 does not provide an explicit operating temperature specification in the available data. Applications requiring confirmed temperature performance should reference the Molex technical documentation or contact the manufacturer directly.

Q: What is the significance of the Breakaway feature on the Molex part?

A: The 0022284134 includes a Breakaway option, allowing individual connector positions to be separated for modular applications. The TSW-113-17-L-S does not include this feature. This provides design flexibility for applications requiring partial connector configurations or field-level modularity.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both the TSW-113-17-L-S and 0022284134 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

Q: What is the MSL rating significance for these connectors?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity limitations. These connectors can be stored and handled without time-dependent moisture absorption constraints, simplifying inventory management and supply chain logistics.
