Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the T2M-115-01-L-D-SM are qualified based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters: 30-position, 2-row configuration with 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch spacing, surface mount termination, shrouded 4-wall construction, push-pull fastening, and identical contact materials and finishes. All substitute parts share the same base product number (T2M-115), series designation (Tiger Eye™ T2M), and compliance certifications (RoHS3, REACH Unaffected).

Substitution differentiation is determined by the following feature variations:

• Mating Flange: T2M-115-01-L-D-SM-DS includes integrated mating flange for enhanced mechanical alignment
• Solder Retention: T2M-115-01-L-D-SM-WT provides solder retention feature for improved solder joint reliability
• Pick and Place + Solder Retention: T2M-115-01-L-D-SM-WT-K combines automated assembly compatibility with solder retention capability

All substitute parts maintain identical electrical performance (3.8A current rating), thermal range (-55°C ~ 125°C), and contact specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four connector variants maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring direct substitution capability within the Tiger Eye™ T2M series. Selection between variants is determined by specific assembly and application requirements:

T2M-115-01-L-D-SM (Base Configuration): Standard header without additional features. Suitable for applications where basic board-to-board connectivity is required without enhanced mechanical or assembly features.

T2M-115-01-L-D-SM-DS (Mating Flange Variant): Includes integrated mating flange for improved mechanical alignment and connector positioning during mating operations. Select this variant when precise alignment and reduced mating force variation are critical design requirements.

T2M-115-01-L-D-SM-WT (Solder Retention Variant): Incorporates solder retention feature to enhance solder joint reliability and reduce risk of solder joint failure during thermal cycling or mechanical stress. Select this variant for applications requiring enhanced solder joint durability.

T2M-115-01-L-D-SM-WT-K (Pick and Place + Solder Retention): Combines automated assembly compatibility with solder retention capability. Select this variant for high-volume manufacturing environments utilizing automated pick-and-place equipment while maintaining enhanced solder joint reliability.

All variants maintain active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected certification, ensuring regulatory compliance across all applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are all four connector variants electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. All variants share identical electrical specifications including 3.8A current rating, -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range, and contact material composition (Phosphor Bronze with gold mating finish and tin post finish). Electrical performance is equivalent across all four part numbers.

Q: What is the primary difference between the base T2M-115-01-L-D-SM and the substitute variants?

A: The base variant provides standard header functionality. Substitute variants add specific features: T2M-115-01-L-D-SM-DS adds mating flange for alignment, T2M-115-01-L-D-SM-WT adds solder retention, and T2M-115-01-L-D-SM-WT-K combines pick-and-place compatibility with solder retention.

Q: Can T2M-115-01-L-D-SM-WT-K be used in manual assembly processes?

A: Yes. The T2M-115-01-L-D-SM-WT-K variant is designed for automated pick-and-place assembly but remains fully compatible with manual assembly processes. The pick-and-place feature does not restrict manual handling or installation.

Q: Do all variants use the same packaging format?

A: Yes. All four variants are supplied in tube packaging, maintaining consistent handling and storage requirements.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between the variants?

A: No. All variants maintain identical RoHS3 compliance status, REACH Unaffected designation, and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level. Regulatory compliance is equivalent across all four part numbers.

Q: What is the mechanical difference provided by the mating flange in T2M-115-01-L-D-SM-DS?

A: The mating flange provides enhanced mechanical alignment and positioning during connector mating operations. This feature reduces variation in mating force and improves connector repeatability in applications requiring precise alignment.

Q: Is solder retention feature critical for all applications?

A: Solder retention is not required for all applications. It is beneficial in applications subject to thermal cycling, mechanical vibration, or high-stress environments where solder joint reliability is a primary design concern. Standard variants without solder retention are suitable for stable thermal and mechanical environments.
