LSHM-150-L2.5-L-DV-A-S-K-TR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LSHM-150-L2.5-L-DV-A-S-K-TR is a 100-position self-mating, non-gendered hermaphroditic rectangular connector from Samtec Inc.'s Razor Beam™ LSHM series. This surface mount connector features gold-plated contacts and is designed for high-density interconnect applications requiring board-guided, pick-and-place compatible assembly. The part is Active status and ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when packaging or availability constraints necessitate alternative sourcing while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the LSHM-150-L2.5-L-DV-A-S-K-TR are identified based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitution criteria are:

• Identical connector type (self-mating, non-gendered, hermaphroditic)
• Identical position count (100 positions)
• Identical pitch (0.020" / 0.50mm)
• Identical row configuration (2 rows)
• Identical mounting technology (surface mount)
• Identical contact finish and thickness (gold, 10.0µin)
• Identical height above board (0.156" / 3.96mm)
• Identical mated stacking height options
• Identical feature set (board guide, pick and place, shielded)
• Identical compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected)

The primary difference between the main part and its substitute is packaging format: the main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR), while the substitute is available in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. Both originate from the same base product number (LSHM-150) and series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the LSHM-150-L2.5-L-DV-A-S-K-TR and LSHM-150-02.5-L-DV-A-S-K-TR maintain Active product status and are fully compliant with ROHS3 and REACH requirements. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging and supply chain requirements:

• LSHM-150-L2.5-L-DV-A-S-K-TR (Tape & Reel) is suitable for high-volume automated assembly operations requiring continuous reel feeding.
• LSHM-150-02.5-L-DV-A-S-K-TR (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel®) provides flexibility for lower-volume production, prototyping, or mixed-component assembly scenarios.

Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical and interchangeable at the component level. Compliance certifications, contact metallurgy, dimensional specifications, and mating characteristics are equivalent across both options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are these parts electrically interchangeable? A: Yes. Both parts are identical in electrical performance, contact configuration, pitch, position count, and signal integrity characteristics. They differ only in packaging format.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® packaging? A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on a continuous reel suitable for automated pick-and-place machines with reel feeders. Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging provides components in tape segments or alternative reel formats, offering flexibility for lower-volume or mixed-assembly applications.

Q: Can I use the Cut Tape version in a high-volume production line designed for Tape & Reel? A: This depends on your assembly equipment capabilities. Standard reel feeders require continuous Tape & Reel format. Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® formats may require manual feeding or alternative feeder systems. Consult your assembly equipment documentation.

Q: Are the mated stacking heights the same for both parts? A: Yes. Both parts support identical mated stacking height options: 5mm, 5.5mm, 6.5mm, and 8.5mm.

Q: Do both parts have the same RoHS and REACH compliance status? A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, with identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications.

Q: What is the MSL rating for these connectors? A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity limitations for storage or handling.
