TSW-136-07-T-S Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSW-136-07-T-S is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole mounting applications. This 36-position, single-row header operates at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and is classified as an active product. Substitute parts may be required due to supply chain considerations, design revisions, or application-specific performance requirements while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSW-136-07-T-S is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position Count: Must be 36 positions to maintain PCB footprint compatibility
• Pitch: Must be 0.100" (2.54mm) for contact alignment
• Mounting Type: Must be through-hole solder termination
• Contact Type: Must be male pin header configuration
• Row Configuration: Must be single-row layout
• Connector Style: Board-to-board or cable compatible

The substitute parts listed below meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. The 4-103327-9 (40-position variant) is included as a reference for applications where additional positions are acceptable within the same pitch standard.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: 929834-01-36-RK (3M)

The 929834-01-36-RK is the direct equivalent for the TSW-136-07-T-S. Both parts maintain identical position count (36), pitch (2.54mm), and mounting configuration. The 3M part is active product status with RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. The operating temperature range of -40°C ~ 105°C covers standard industrial applications, with the lower bound being 15°C higher than the Samtec part. This substitute is suitable for applications within this temperature specification.

Alternative Reference: 4-103327-9 (TE Connectivity)

The 4-103327-9 is a 40-position variant with identical pitch and mounting type. This part is classified as obsolete product status. Selection of this part requires confirmation that the additional 4 positions do not conflict with existing PCB layout or connector cavity design. The extended operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C) provides broader thermal coverage than the primary part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 929834-01-36-RK directly replace the TSW-136-07-T-S without PCB modification?

A: Yes. Both parts are 36-position, single-row headers with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and through-hole solder termination. The mechanical footprint and electrical interface are compatible.

Q: What is the significance of the different insulation materials (PBT vs. PCT)?

A: Both materials are thermoplastic polymers with UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. PBT and PCT differ in thermal and chemical properties, but both are suitable for standard connector applications within their specified operating temperature ranges.

Q: Why is the 4-103327-9 listed if it has 40 positions instead of 36?

A: The 40-position part is included as a reference for applications where additional contact positions are acceptable. Direct substitution requires verification that the PCB layout accommodates the extended connector length without interference.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the substitute parts?

A: All listed parts are RoHS compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings. The TSW-136-07-T-S and 4-103327-9 are ROHS3 compliant, while the 929834-01-36-RK is RoHS compliant. Both compliance levels are acceptable for equivalent substitution.

Q: What is the operating temperature consideration for the 929834-01-36-RK?

A: The 3M part operates from -40°C to 105°C, compared to the Samtec part's -55°C to 105°C range. Applications requiring operation below -40°C must use the original TSW-136-07-T-S or the TE Connectivity 4-103327-9 (-65°C minimum).
