Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 3M 961109-6700-AR-TP is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header, cuttable variants acceptable)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Number of positions (9)
• Single row configuration
• Surface mount mounting type
• Solder termination
• Push-pull fastening mechanism
• Unshrouded design
• Board-to-board or board-to-cable compatibility
• Gold mating contact finish
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Moisture sensitivity level 1

The Samtec TSM-109 series satisfies all these parameters. Variations within the series accommodate different contact lengths, loading configurations, packaging formats, and optional features (board guide, pick and place capability, board lock) without affecting core electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All Samtec TSM-109 series connectors listed provide functional equivalence to the 3M 961109-6700-AR-TP. Selection among substitute options depends on application-specific requirements:

TSM-109-01-L-SV: Shortest mating contact length (0.230" / 5.84mm). Suitable for applications with minimal board-to-board spacing. Tube packaging. Active product status with ROHS3 compliance.

TSM-109-02-F-SV: Extended mating contact length (0.320" / 8.13mm). Tube packaging. Active product status with ROHS3 compliance.

TSM-109-02-F-SV-P-TR: Extended mating contact length with pick-and-place feature. Tape & Reel packaging for automated assembly. Active product status with ROHS3 compliance.

TSM-109-02-L-SV-A-P-TR: Extended mating contact length with board guide and pick-and-place features. Tape & Reel packaging. Active product status with ROHS3 compliance. Recommended for high-volume automated production.

TSM-109-02-L-SV-P-TR: Extended mating contact length with pick-and-place feature. Tape & Reel packaging. Active product status with ROHS3 compliance.

TSM-109-02-L-SV-LC: Extended mating contact length with board lock feature. Active product status with ROHS3 compliance.

All substitute parts exceed the original operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C versus -25°C to 105°C), provide superior insulation material (LCP versus thermoplastic), and maintain UL94 V-0 flammability compliance. The transition from obsolete to active product status ensures long-term availability and supply chain stability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TSM-109 series connectors directly replace the 3M 961109-6700-AR-TP?

A: Yes. All TSM-109 variants maintain identical pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (9), contact type (male pin), mounting method (surface mount), and termination (solder). The connectors are mechanically and electrically compatible for board-to-board applications.

Q: What is the primary difference between TSM-109-01-L-SV and TSM-109-02-F-SV?

A: The mating contact length differs. TSM-109-01-L-SV provides 0.230" (5.84mm) contact length, while TSM-109-02-F-SV provides 0.320" (8.13mm). Selection depends on board-to-board spacing requirements in your application.

Q: Why do some part numbers include "-P-TR" suffix?

A: The "-P-TR" suffix indicates pick-and-place feature and Tape & Reel packaging format. These variants are optimized for automated assembly processes and high-volume production. Tube-packaged alternatives (without -TR) are suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume applications.

Q: What is the significance of the board guide feature in TSM-109-02-L-SV-A variants?

A: The board guide feature provides mechanical alignment assistance during mating, improving insertion reliability and reducing assembly errors. This feature is beneficial in applications requiring precise connector positioning.

Q: What is the board lock feature in TSM-109-02-L-SV-LC?

A: The board lock feature provides positive mechanical retention after mating, preventing accidental disconnection. This is applicable to applications requiring secure, vibration-resistant connections.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All Samtec TSM-109 series connectors listed are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. The original 3M part does not specify RoHS status.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: Tube packaging is standard for most variants. Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is available for TSM-109-02-F-SV-P-TR, TSM-109-02-L-SV-A-P-TR, and TSM-109-02-L-SV-P-TR, optimized for pick-and-place assembly equipment.

Q: Do the substitute parts support cable-to-board applications?

A: Yes. TSM-109 series connectors support both board-to-board and board-to-cable configurations, providing greater application flexibility than the original 3M part, which is limited to board-to-board style.

Q: What is the operating temperature advantage of TSM-109 substitutes?

A: TSM-109 series operates from -55°C to 125°C, compared to the original part's -25°C to 105°C range. This extended range provides greater thermal margin for demanding applications.
