Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 5-147381-9 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

Core Compatibility Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 100
• Number of Rows: 2
• Pitch - Mating: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Termination: Solder
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall
• Insulation Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze

All identified substitute parts from Samtec Inc. (Tiger Eye™ TFM and Tiger Eye™ TFML series) maintain these core parameters. Variations exist in fastening type, contact finish specifications, features (Board Lock, Board Guide), and operating temperature ranges. The substitute parts demonstrate higher current ratings (2.9A per Contact versus 0.5A per Contact) and extended operating temperature ranges (-55°C ~ 125°C versus -65°C ~ 105°C), providing enhanced electrical performance characteristics while maintaining dimensional and mating compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed are active products with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, meeting the same regulatory and environmental standards as the primary TE Connectivity 5-147381-9 part. Selection among substitute options should be based on the following provided specifications:

For applications requiring Push-Pull fastening: TFM-150-02-H-D-A, TFM-150-02-L-D-A, TFM-150-02-L-D-LC, TFM-150-02-S-D, TFM-150-02-S-D-A, and TFM-150-02-S-D-LC are suitable alternatives. These parts maintain identical mating pitch and position count while offering enhanced current capacity (2.9A per Contact) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C).

For applications requiring Friction Lock fastening: TFML-150-02-S-D-A provides an alternative fastening mechanism while maintaining core dimensional compatibility.

For applications requiring Board Lock feature: TFM-150-02-L-D-LC and TFM-150-02-S-D-LC incorporate board lock functionality.

For applications requiring Board Guide feature: TFM-150-02-H-D-A, TFM-150-02-L-D-A, and TFM-150-02-S-D-A include board guide features.

For applications with no specific feature requirements: TFM-150-02-S-D provides baseline functionality without additional features.

All substitute parts are available in active inventory with quantities ranging from 630 to 1571 pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the Samtec Tiger Eye™ TFM series connectors mechanically compatible with the TE Connectivity AMPMODU 5-147381-9?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain identical mating pitch (0.050" / 1.27mm), row spacing (0.050" / 1.27mm), position count (100 positions in 2 rows), and shrouded 4-wall construction. Mechanical mating compatibility is confirmed across all listed substitutes.

Q: What is the primary difference between the TFM-150-02-H-D-A and TFM-150-02-S-D variants?

A: The TFM-150-02-H-D-A features a square contact shape with board guide functionality, while TFM-150-02-S-D features a square contact shape without additional features. Both maintain identical mating pitch, position count, and electrical ratings.

Q: Can I use TFML-150-02-S-D-A as a direct replacement for the TE Connectivity 5-147381-9?

A: TFML-150-02-S-D-A maintains dimensional and mating compatibility but uses Friction Lock fastening instead of Push-Pull fastening. This represents a functional difference that must be evaluated against application requirements. The part is suitable for applications where friction lock engagement is acceptable.

Q: What are the electrical performance differences between the primary part and substitute options?

A: The TE Connectivity 5-147381-9 is rated at 0.5A per Contact with unspecified voltage rating. Samtec TFM series substitutes are rated at 2.9A per Contact with 275VAC voltage rating, providing enhanced electrical capacity. TFML-150-02-S-D-A does not specify current or voltage ratings.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, matching the compliance status of the primary TE Connectivity part.

Q: What is the difference between contact finish options across the substitute parts?

A: Contact finish variations exist in the post finish specification. TFM-150-02-H-D-A features gold post finish (3.00µin), while other TFM variants feature tin post finish. All parts maintain gold mating finish at 30.0µin (0.76µm) or 15.0µin (0.38µm) depending on variant. These variations do not affect mating compatibility.

Q: Do all substitute parts support the same operating temperature range as the primary part?

A: No. The TE Connectivity 5-147381-9 operates from -65°C to 105°C. All Samtec substitute parts operate from -55°C to 125°C, providing an extended upper temperature limit but a reduced lower temperature limit. Applications requiring operation below -55°C must use the primary TE Connectivity part.

Q: What packaging differences exist between the primary part and substitutes?

A: The TE Connectivity 5-147381-9 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. All Samtec substitute parts are supplied in Tube packaging. This affects handling and automated assembly considerations but does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility.
