Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can TSM-114 series connectors directly replace the 3M 961114-6300-AR-TP on existing PCBs?
A: Yes. All TSM-114 variants maintain 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 14-position single-row configuration, and surface mount solder termination. PCB footprints are compatible. Minor dimensional differences in contact length (0.230" versus 0.210") and insulation height (0.100" versus 0.098") do not affect mating or mounting.
Q: What is the difference between tube and tape & reel packaging options?
A: Tube packaging (standard packaging) is suitable for manual assembly and small-volume production. Tape & Reel packaging is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Selection depends on manufacturing process requirements.
Q: Why do some TSM-114 variants have gold post finish while others have tin?
A: Post finish (solder connection point) is selected based on soldering process compatibility. Tin post finish is standard for wave and reflow soldering. Gold post finish (TSM-114-01-G-SV) provides alternative compatibility. Both finishes are electrically equivalent for the specified applications.
Q: What is the significance of the "L" designation in part numbers like TSM-114-01-L-SV-A?
A: The "L" indicates extended mating contact length (0.230" versus standard 0.210"). This provides enhanced contact engagement and is functionally equivalent for standard mating applications.
Q: Are all TSM-114 variants RoHS compliant?
A: Yes. All listed Samtec TSM-114 series parts are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.
Q: What does "cuttable" mean in the connector type specification?
A: Cuttable headers allow users to separate individual positions or groups of positions from the main header strip using standard cutting tools, enabling custom configurations for specific applications.
Q: What is the board guide feature?
A: Board guide (designated by "A" in part numbers) provides mechanical alignment features that assist in proper mating connector positioning during assembly.
Q: What is the board lock feature?
A: Board lock (designated by "LC" in part numbers) provides mechanical retention that prevents accidental disconnection after mating, suitable for applications requiring secure connections.
