TSW-122-15-G-S Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSW-122-15-G-S is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole board-to-board or cable applications. This 22-position, single-row header operates at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and is rated for -55°C to 125°C operation. The part is currently active in production and maintains full RoHS3 compliance with UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with application requirements, enabling component sourcing flexibility and inventory management.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TSW-122-15-G-S is evaluated based on the following critical parameters:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) — must match exactly for mechanical compatibility
• Connector Type: Header with male pin contacts
• Mounting Type: Through hole solder termination
• Contact Finish: Gold plating on mating surfaces
• Operating Temperature Range: Minimum -55°C to 125°C capability
• RoHS3 Compliance: Required for regulatory alignment
• Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 standard

The substitute part N2526-6002-RB from 3M shares the same 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, through-hole solder termination, gold-plated mating contacts, and RoHS3 compliance. However, differences exist in position count, row configuration, and maximum operating temperature that must be evaluated for specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TSW-122-15-G-S and N2526-6002-RB maintain active production status and full ROHS3 compliance with UL94 V-0 flammability certification, meeting regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications.

The TSW-122-15-G-S operates across a wider temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) compared to the N2526-6002-RB (-55°C to 105°C). Applications requiring sustained operation above 105°C must use the Samtec part.

The N2526-6002-RB features a two-row, 26-position configuration with thicker gold plating (30.0µin versus 10.0µin), providing increased contact durability for high-cycle mating applications. The single-row, 22-position TSW-122-15-G-S is suited for applications with linear connector requirements and space constraints.

Selection between these parts depends on position count, row configuration, and maximum operating temperature requirements specific to the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the N2526-6002-RB directly replace the TSW-122-15-G-S?

A: Direct replacement is not possible due to differences in position count (26 vs. 22), row configuration (2 vs. 1), and maximum operating temperature (105°C vs. 125°C). Substitution is only valid when the application accommodates these differences.

Q: What is the significance of the 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch specification?

A: Pitch defines the center-to-center spacing between adjacent contacts. Both parts share identical 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, ensuring mechanical compatibility with mating connectors designed for this standard spacing.

Q: Does the thicker gold plating on the N2526-6002-RB affect electrical performance?

A: Gold plating thickness (30.0µin on 3M versus 10.0µin on Samtec) impacts contact durability and wear resistance during mating cycles. Thicker plating extends contact life in high-cycle applications but does not alter baseline electrical characteristics.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-temperature applications above 100°C?

A: The TSW-122-15-G-S is rated to 125°C and is suitable for sustained high-temperature operation. The N2526-6002-RB is rated to 105°C maximum and should not be used in applications requiring continuous operation above this temperature.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to these connectors?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging and are through-hole solder-terminated components. PCB layout and footprint design must accommodate the specific row and position configuration of the selected part.
