TSW-115-20-G-D Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSW-115-20-G-D is an active rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole board-to-board or cable applications. This 30-position, 2-row connector operates across -55°C to 125°C and features gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts with push-pull fastening. The part is ROHS3 compliant and carries UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when specific application geometry requires different contact length specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between TSW-115-20-G-D and TSW-115-23-G-D is determined by the following critical parameters that remain constant across both parts:

• Manufacturer: Samtec Inc.
• Series: TSW
• Number of Positions: 30
• Number of Rows: 2
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Insulation Material: PBT
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The primary difference between these parts is contact length geometry. TSW-115-20-G-D features longer mating contacts (1.020" / 25.91mm) suitable for applications requiring extended reach, while TSW-115-23-G-D provides shorter mating contacts (0.230" / 5.84mm) for compact board-to-board spacing. Both maintain identical electrical and mechanical interface specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TSW-115-20-G-D and TSW-115-23-G-D are active products from Samtec Inc. with identical compliance certifications: ROHS3 compliant, UL94 V-0 flammability rated, and MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity). Selection between these parts depends solely on application geometry requirements.

Choose TSW-115-20-G-D when extended mating contact length (1.020" / 25.91mm) is required for applications with greater board separation or cable routing depth.

Choose TSW-115-23-G-D when compact overall height (0.445" / 11.30mm) is required for space-constrained board-to-board interconnections.

Both parts maintain identical electrical interface specifications, contact material composition, and operating temperature range, ensuring functional interchangeability within their respective geometric constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TSW-115-20-G-D and TSW-115-23-G-D be used interchangeably?

A: These parts are electrically and mechanically compatible only when application geometry permits. The primary difference is mating contact length. TSW-115-20-G-D provides 1.020" contact length; TSW-115-23-G-D provides 0.230" contact length. Verify your board separation and connector mounting depth before substitution.

Q: What determines compatibility between these connector headers?

A: Compatibility is determined by matching pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), number of positions (30), number of rows (2), row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), contact type (male pin), mounting method (through hole), and termination type (solder). Both parts meet these criteria. Contact length geometry is the only variable parameter.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both TSW-115-20-G-D and TSW-115-23-G-D are ROHS3 compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity level.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: Both parts operate across -55°C to 125°C, providing identical thermal performance specifications.

Q: How do the post lengths differ between these parts?

A: TSW-115-20-G-D features 0.110" (2.79mm) post length, while TSW-115-23-G-D features 0.115" (2.92mm) post length. This minimal difference does not affect solder joint compatibility on standard PCB thicknesses.
