TSW-132-08-S-D Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSW-132-08-S-D is an active rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole board-to-board or cable applications. This 64-position, 2-row connector operates across -55°C to 125°C and meets ROHS3 compliance requirements. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical and mechanical specifications to ensure functional interchangeability in applications requiring 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch header connectors with solder termination.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TSW-132-08-S-D are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

Connector type, contact type, and mating configuration (Header, Male Pin, Board to Board or Cable)
Position count and row configuration (64 positions, 2 rows)
Pitch specifications (0.100" mating pitch, 0.100" row spacing)
Mounting method (Through Hole) and termination type (Solder)
Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
Contact material and finish specifications (Phosphor Bronze with Gold mating finish)
Compliance certifications (ROHS3, UL94 V-0)

The identified substitutes maintain these core parameters while allowing variation in insulation material composition and moisture sensitivity classification, which do not affect electrical or mechanical interchangeability in standard applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain active product status with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between TSW-132-08-S-D, HTSW-132-08-S-D, and TSW-132-08-S-D-LC is determined by insulation material requirements and moisture sensitivity classification:

TSW-132-08-S-D and TSW-132-08-S-D-LC both utilize Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) insulation with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity, providing identical electrical and mechanical performance. The TSW-132-08-S-D-LC designation indicates a low-cost variant within the same material specification.

HTSW-132-08-S-D employs Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation with Not Applicable moisture sensitivity classification, offering alternative material properties while maintaining all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. This variant is suitable for applications where LCP material characteristics are specified or preferred.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TSW-132-08-S-D be directly replaced with HTSW-132-08-S-D?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, position count, pitch, mounting method, termination type, operating temperature range, and contact specifications. The primary difference is insulation material (PBT versus LCP). Direct substitution is valid where insulation material is not a specified design requirement.

Q: What is the difference between TSW-132-08-S-D and TSW-132-08-S-D-LC?

A: Both parts are identical in electrical and mechanical specifications, including insulation material (PBT), contact configuration, and operating parameters. The -LC designation indicates a low-cost variant. No performance difference exists between these parts.

Q: Are all three parts suitable for the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. All three parts maintain identical pitch (0.100"), row spacing (0.100"), contact length specifications, and through-hole mounting configuration. PCB footprints designed for any one part accommodate all three substitutes.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to all substitute parts?

A: All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 material flammability rating. ECCN classification is EAR99 for all variants.

Q: Does insulation material affect electrical performance?

A: No. Both PBT and LCP insulation materials in these parts meet identical electrical specifications, operating temperature range, and flammability requirements. Material selection is based on application-specific mechanical or environmental requirements, not electrical performance.
