TSW-136-14-G-S Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSW-136-14-G-S is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole mounting applications. This 36-position vertical header operates at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and is classified as an active product. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when design flexibility permits component substitution within specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSW-136-14-G-S is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pins
• Position Count & Pitch: 36 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• Row Configuration: Single row layout
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination
• Contact Finish: Gold-plated mating surface
• Insulation Material: PBT-based polymer
• Flammability Compliance: UL94 V-0 rating

The substitute part 929705-01-36-I (3M) meets these core substitution criteria. Both parts share identical position count, pitch, mounting type, termination method, and contact finish specifications. Variations in operating temperature range and contact material composition are within acceptable tolerance for equivalent functionality in standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TSW-136-14-G-S and 929705-01-36-I maintain active product status and comply with applicable regulatory requirements. The TSW-136-14-G-S operates across a wider temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) compared to the 3M substitute (-40°C to 105°C). Selection between these parts should be based on application temperature requirements. The 929705-01-36-I features a breakaway connector design and includes glass-filled polyester in its insulation material composition, which may provide enhanced mechanical properties in specific applications. Both parts achieve UL94 V-0 flammability compliance and maintain equivalent moisture sensitivity levels. RoHS and REACH compliance status is satisfied by both options for standard commercial and industrial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 929705-01-36-I substitute for the TSW-136-14-G-S in all applications?

A: Substitution is valid when application operating temperature does not exceed -40°C to 105°C. If your design requires operation below -40°C or above 105°C, the TSW-136-14-G-S is required due to its extended temperature range.

Q: What is the difference between the contact materials?

A: The TSW-136-14-G-S uses phosphor bronze contacts, while the 929705-01-36-I uses copper alloy contacts. Both materials are gold-plated with identical finish thickness (10.0µin) at the mating surface and provide equivalent electrical performance for standard signal and power applications.

Q: Are the physical dimensions interchangeable?

A: Contact lengths differ slightly: TSW-136-14-G-S mating contact length is 0.320" (8.13mm) versus 0.318" (8.08mm) for the 929705-01-36-I. Overall contact length is 0.530" (13.46mm) versus 0.528" (13.42mm). These minimal differences (0.002" / 0.05mm) do not affect standard PCB mounting or mating interface compatibility.

Q: What does "breakaway" mean on the 3M part?

A: The 929705-01-36-I features a breakaway design, allowing individual pins or groups of pins to be separated from the header assembly. The TSW-136-14-G-S does not have this feature. This distinction does not affect substitution compatibility for applications using the complete 36-position header.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. The TSW-136-14-G-S is ROHS3 Compliant, and the 929705-01-36-I is RoHS Compliant. Both satisfy RoHS directive requirements for commercial and industrial applications.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level, and does it matter?

A: Both parts are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These connectors can be stored and handled under standard conditions without special moisture control measures.
