Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can TSM-117 series parts directly replace the 3M 961117-6300-AR-TP in existing designs?
A: Yes. All TSM-117 variants maintain identical pitch (0.100"), position count (17), contact geometry (square male pins), and solder termination. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is preserved across all listed substitutes.
Q: What is the difference between tin and gold post finishes?
A: Post finish refers to the solder pad material. Tin post (standard) provides cost-effective soldering. Gold post offers enhanced corrosion resistance and is specified when gold-to-gold contact is required or when extended shelf life in humid environments is critical.
Q: How do board guide and board lock features affect compatibility?
A: Board guide and board lock are mechanical retention features that do not affect electrical performance. Board guide provides alignment during mating. Board lock prevents accidental unmating. These features are optional and do not impact substitution compatibility.
Q: What packaging options are available?
A: Bulk, tube, and tape & reel (TR) formats are offered. Tape & reel variants are optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly. Bulk and tube packaging suit manual or semi-automated processes.
Q: Why do substitute parts have extended operating temperature range?
A: Samtec TSM-117 series components are rated -55°C to 125°C, exceeding the original 3M part specification of -25°C to 105°C. This represents improved material and design performance and does not affect compatibility with applications operating within the original temperature range.
Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?
A: Yes. All Samtec TSM-117 variants listed are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for lead-free and restricted substance compliance.
Q: What is the significance of contact finish thickness specifications?
A: Contact finish thickness (measured in microinches or micrometers) affects durability and corrosion resistance. Higher thickness values provide extended service life in corrosive environments. Standard thickness (3.00µin to 10.0µin) is suitable for most applications. Enhanced thickness (30.0µin) is specified for harsh environmental conditions.
Q: Can cuttable header variants be used in place of fixed-length headers?
A: Yes. Cuttable variants allow field customization to shorter lengths if required. When full 17-position length is needed, cuttable and non-cuttable variants are functionally equivalent.
