TSW-150-17-S-D Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSW-150-17-S-D is an active rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole mounting applications. This vertical connector accommodates 100 positions across 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, suitable for board-to-board or cable interconnection. The part is ROHS3 compliant and maintains an operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary when the primary part experiences supply constraints or when design requirements call for alternative insulation materials while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The HTSW-150-17-S-D qualifies as a direct substitute for the TSW-150-17-S-D based on the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Connector type, contact type, and male pin configuration
• 100 positions across 2 rows with identical 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing
• Through-hole solder termination with push-pull fastening
• Identical contact dimensions: 0.620" mating length, 0.110" post length, 0.830" overall length
• Square contact shape with gold mating finish and tin post finish
• Phosphor bronze contact material
• Operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 ECCN classification

Differing Parameters:

• Insulation material: TSW-150-17-S-D uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT); HTSW-150-17-S-D uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Insulation color: TSW-150-17-S-D is black; HTSW-150-17-S-D is natural
• Moisture sensitivity level: TSW-150-17-S-D is MSL 1 (Unlimited); HTSW-150-17-S-D is Not Applicable

The substitution is valid where the alternative insulation material and moisture sensitivity classification do not conflict with application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TSW-150-17-S-D and HTSW-150-17-S-D are active products with ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts depends on insulation material requirements and moisture sensitivity classification applicable to the end application.

The TSW-150-17-S-D with PBT insulation and MSL 1 rating is suitable for applications with unlimited moisture exposure tolerance. The HTSW-150-17-S-D with LCP insulation and Not Applicable MSL classification is suitable for applications where alternative insulation material properties are acceptable or preferred.

Both parts maintain identical contact geometry, pitch spacing, operating temperature range, and flammability certification, ensuring functional interchangeability in board-to-board and cable interconnection applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What are the primary differences between TSW-150-17-S-D and HTSW-150-17-S-D?

A: The parts differ in insulation material (PBT versus LCP), insulation color (black versus natural), and moisture sensitivity level classification. All electrical and mechanical parameters, including contact configuration, pitch spacing, and operating temperature range, are identical.

Q: Can HTSW-150-17-S-D replace TSW-150-17-S-D in existing designs?

A: Substitution is valid where the alternative insulation material and moisture sensitivity classification do not conflict with application requirements. The identical contact geometry and pitch spacing ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, both TSW-150-17-S-D and HTSW-150-17-S-D are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL rating difference?

A: TSW-150-17-S-D carries MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. HTSW-150-17-S-D carries Not Applicable MSL, reflecting its LCP insulation material properties. Application environment and storage conditions determine which classification is appropriate.

Q: Do both parts support the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes, both parts operate across -55°C to 125°C.

Q: What contact finish specifications apply to both parts?

A: Both parts feature gold-plated mating contacts with 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness and tin-plated posts, with phosphor bronze base material.
