Samtec TFM-105-22-S-D-A-P-TR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Samtec TFM-105-22-S-D-A-P-TR is a surface mount rectangular connector header from the Tiger Eye™ TFM series. This connector is designed for board-to-board or cable applications with 10 positions arranged in 2 rows at 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch. The part is currently active in production with full inventory availability. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications allow direct replacement in applications where the main part number is unavailable or when specific insulation height requirements necessitate alternative configurations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TFM-105-22-S-D-A-P-TR are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical compatibility within the Tiger Eye™ TFM series. The following parameters must remain constant for substitution eligibility:

• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 10
• Number of Rows: 2
• Pitch - Mating: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Current Rating: 2.9A per Contact
• Voltage Rating: 275VAC
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The identified substitutes vary only in insulation height, which is a mechanical dimension that may be selected based on specific application requirements for board clearance or stacking configurations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—TFM-105-22-S-D-A-P-TR, TFM-105-12-S-D-A-K-TR, and TFM-105-32-S-D-A-P-TR—maintain active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these parts is determined solely by insulation height requirements for the specific application.

The TFM-105-22-S-D-A-P-TR with 0.360" (9.14mm) insulation height serves as the reference configuration. The TFM-105-12-S-D-A-K-TR provides a reduced insulation height of 0.290" (7.37mm) for applications requiring minimal board clearance. The TFM-105-32-S-D-A-P-TR offers an increased insulation height of 0.435" (11.05mm) for applications requiring greater standoff distance or stacking clearance.

All electrical parameters, including current rating, voltage rating, and operating temperature range, remain identical across all three configurations. All parts are supplied in Tape & Reel packaging suitable for automated assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TFM-105-12-S-D-A-K-TR be used as a direct replacement for TFM-105-22-S-D-A-P-TR?

A: Yes, provided the application accommodates the reduced insulation height of 0.290" (7.37mm) compared to 0.360" (9.14mm). All electrical specifications, contact configurations, and compliance certifications are identical.

Q: What is the primary difference between these substitute parts?

A: The only difference is insulation height. TFM-105-12-S-D-A-K-TR is shorter at 0.290", TFM-105-22-S-D-A-P-TR is standard at 0.360", and TFM-105-32-S-D-A-P-TR is taller at 0.435". This dimension affects board clearance and mating connector alignment.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, all three parts are ROHS3 compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Q: Do these parts have different current or voltage ratings?

A: No. All three parts have identical electrical ratings: 2.9A per contact and 275VAC voltage rating.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: All three parts operate across -55°C to 125°C.

Q: Are these parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes, all three parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly.

Q: How do I determine which insulation height is appropriate for my application?

A: Insulation height selection depends on your PCB layout requirements. Measure the available vertical clearance between the connector mounting surface and any components or structures above it. Select the part whose insulation height fits within your available space while maintaining proper mating connector alignment.
