Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The FHP-12-01-TM-S qualifies as a direct substitute for the FHP-12-01-T-S based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Position Count: Both are 12-position receptacles
• Pitch Specification: Both maintain 0.156" (3.96mm) mating pitch
• Mounting & Termination: Both use through-hole solder termination
• Material Composition: Both feature LCP insulation and phosphor bronze contacts with tin finish
• Operating Temperature: Both rated -55°C ~ 105°C
• Compliance: Both are ROHS3 compliant and carry EAR99 ECCN classification

The primary difference between these parts is the fastening type designation in the part number suffix (T versus TM), which reflects internal design variations within the FHP-12 base product family while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both FHP-12-01-T-S and FHP-12-01-TM-S are active production parts with full ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Inventory Availability: FHP-12-01-TM-S offers higher stock levels (1050 units versus 631 units), providing greater supply security for high-volume applications.
• Compliance Requirements: Both parts meet identical regulatory standards (ROHS3, EAR99 classification, HTSUS 8536.69.4040).
• Application Continuity: Either part may be used interchangeably in existing designs without modification to PCB layouts, mating connectors, or firmware.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are FHP-12-01-T-S and FHP-12-01-TM-S mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch (0.156"), position count (12), mounting type (through-hole), and physical dimensions including insulation height (0.350") and contact post length (0.102").

Q: Can these parts be used with the same mating connector?

A: Yes. Both receptacles are designed for the same FHP series plug connectors and maintain identical mating specifications.

Q: What is the difference between the T and TM designations in the part numbers?

A: The suffix variation reflects internal design differences within the FHP-12 base product family. Both variants maintain full compatibility with the same mating interfaces and PCB footprints.

Q: Are there any temperature or compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C) and carry the same regulatory certifications (ROHS3 compliant, EAR99 classification).

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Either part is suitable for new designs. Selection may be based on current inventory levels, lead time requirements, or existing supply agreements with Samtec Inc.
