TSW-114-23-S-S Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSW-114-23-S-S is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole mounting applications. This unshrouded, 14-position header operates at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and features male pins with gold-plated mating contacts and tin-plated posts. The connector is classified as Active product status and complies with ROHS3 and REACH requirements. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling component interchangeability in board-to-board or cable applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSW-114-23-S-S is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Connector Type: Header with male pin contact type
Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) spacing
Number of Positions: 14 positions in single row configuration
Mounting Type: Through hole solder termination
Fastening Type: Push-pull mechanism
Contact Finish: Gold-plated mating surface with tin-plated posts
Shrouding: Unshrouded design
Compliance: ROHS3 and REACH requirements

The Molex 0022284146 connector satisfies these substitution criteria. Both connectors operate within compatible electrical and mechanical parameters for board-to-board and cable applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TSW-114-23-S-S and 0022284146 connectors maintain Active product status and satisfy ROHS3 and REACH compliance requirements. The connectors share identical pitch, position count, contact finish specifications, and flammability ratings. Dimensional variations exist in contact length and insulation height; the Molex connector exhibits slightly longer mating contact length (0.240" versus 0.230") and reduced insulation height (0.090" versus 0.100"). These dimensional differences remain within acceptable tolerances for standard board-to-board and cable interconnect applications. Both connectors are suitable for equivalent component selection based on provided compliance and electrical specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if the Molex 0022284146 can substitute for the Samtec TSW-114-23-S-S?

A: Substitution is valid when the connector maintains identical pitch (0.100"), position count (14), contact type (male pin), mounting method (through hole solder), and contact finish specifications (gold mating, tin post). Both connectors satisfy these criteria.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these connectors?

A: Yes. The Molex 0022284146 has a mating contact length of 0.240" compared to 0.230" for the Samtec connector, and insulation height of 0.090" versus 0.100". These variations are minor and do not affect standard interconnect applications.

Q: Do both connectors meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both connectors are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and rated UL94 V-0 for material flammability. Both maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification.

Q: What is the difference between the Samtec PBT and Molex PA/Nylon insulation materials?

A: The Samtec connector uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) insulation, while the Molex connector uses Polyamide (PA) with glass filling. Both materials are suitable for standard through-hole connector applications and meet the same flammability requirements.

Q: Can the Molex connector be used in applications requiring -55°C to 125°C operation?

A: The Molex connector operating temperature range is not specified in the provided data. Component selection for temperature-critical applications should be confirmed with the manufacturer's complete technical documentation.

Q: Are both connectors available in equivalent quantities?

A: The Samtec TSW-114-23-S-S has 1094 pieces in stock, while the Molex 0022284146 has 6557 pieces available. Inventory levels may vary based on current supply conditions.
