Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSW-150-26-L-D is determined by strict alignment of critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The following parameters must match identically for a part to function as a direct substitute:

• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 100
• Number of Rows: 2
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Contact Length - Mating: 0.230" (5.84mm)
• Contact Length - Post: 0.126" (3.20mm)
• Overall Contact Length: 0.456" (11.58mm)
• Insulation Height: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Contact Shape: Square
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Contact Finish - Post: Tin
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

The HTSW-150-26-L-D meets all critical substitution criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TSW-150-26-L-D and HTSW-150-26-L-D are active products manufactured by Samtec Inc. and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for mating and post contact dimensions, pitch spacing, and operating temperature range. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings.

The primary difference between these parts is the insulation material composition: the TSW-150-26-L-D uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), while the HTSW-150-26-L-D uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP). This material distinction does not affect the core electrical or mechanical compatibility for standard through-hole solder applications. Selection between these parts should be based on specific application requirements related to insulation material properties and availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HTSW-150-26-L-D be used as a direct replacement for the TSW-150-26-L-D?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical contact dimensions, pitch spacing, row configuration, mounting type, and operating temperature range. The insulation material differs (LCP versus PBT), but this does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for standard board-to-board or cable interconnection applications.

Q: What are the critical parameters that determine substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by matching: connector type, contact type, number of positions and rows, mating pitch, row spacing, contact dimensions (mating and post lengths), insulation height, contact shape, contact finish specifications, contact material, operating temperature range, and flammability rating.

Q: Does the insulation material difference affect performance?

A: The insulation material difference between PBT and LCP does not affect the electrical or mechanical performance of the connector in standard applications. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and operate across the same temperature range.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the TSW-150-26-L-D and HTSW-150-26-L-D are ROHS3 compliant and carry EAR99 ECCN classification.

Q: What is the difference in moisture sensitivity between these parts?

A: The TSW-150-26-L-D has a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1 (Unlimited), while the HTSW-150-26-L-D is listed as Not Applicable. This reflects differences in packaging and handling requirements, but does not affect the connector's functional performance in the application.
