TSW-114-08-G-S-RA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSW-114-08-G-S-RA is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole, right-angle board-to-board or cable applications. This 14-position connector operates across a wide temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and features gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. The part maintains Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling component interchangeability in applications where the primary part may be unavailable or require alternative sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 929648-01-14-I from 3M qualifies as a substitute for the TSW-114-08-G-S-RA based on alignment of critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts share identical specifications for connector type (Header), contact type (Male Pin), number of positions (14), number of rows (1), pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle), termination method (Solder), contact finish (Gold), and insulation material (Polybutylene Terephthalate). Both maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level. The substitute part is Active in product status and RoHS compliant, meeting the compliance requirements of the original part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TSW-114-08-G-S-RA and 929648-01-14-I maintain Active product status and meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements with MSL 1 moisture sensitivity ratings. The TSW-114-08-G-S-RA offers a wider operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) compared to the 3M substitute (-40°C to 105°C). Applications requiring operation below -40°C or above 105°C must retain the original Samtec part. For applications within the -40°C to 105°C range, the 929648-01-14-I provides functional equivalence with RoHS compliance. Minor dimensional variations exist in contact length and insulation height; verify mechanical fit within the target PCB assembly before final selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if the 929648-01-14-I can substitute for the TSW-114-08-G-S-RA?

A: Substitution is valid when connector type, contact type, number of positions, pitch spacing, mounting type, termination method, contact finish, and insulation material match between parts. Both the TSW-114-08-G-S-RA and 929648-01-14-I meet these criteria.

Q: Are there temperature limitations when using the 3M substitute?

A: Yes. The 929648-01-14-I operates from -40°C to 105°C, while the original TSW-114-08-G-S-RA operates from -55°C to 125°C. Applications requiring operation outside the -40°C to 105°C range require the original part.

Q: Do both parts have the same contact dimensions?

A: Contact length specifications differ slightly. The TSW-114-08-G-S-RA has a mating contact length of 0.230" (5.84mm) and post length of 0.090" (2.29mm), while the 929648-01-14-I has mating contact length of 0.235" (5.97mm) and post length of 0.110" (2.79mm). Verify mechanical compatibility with your PCB design.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The TSW-114-08-G-S-RA is ROHS3 compliant, and the 929648-01-14-I is RoHS compliant. Both meet regulatory requirements for restricted substance elimination.

Q: What is the difference in contact material between these parts?

A: The TSW-114-08-G-S-RA uses phosphor bronze contacts, while the 929648-01-14-I uses copper alloy contacts. Both are gold-plated with identical finish thickness (10.0µin / 0.25µm) for mating surfaces.
