Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the TFM-107-01-L-S is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Number of positions (7)
• Pitch specification (0.050" / 1.27mm)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Electrical ratings (2.9A per Contact, 275VAC)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Material compliance (ROHS3 Compliant, UL94 V-0)

The identified substitute part TFM-107-01-L-S-WT maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while introducing solder retention as an additional feature. Both parts belong to the same Tiger Eye™ TFM series and share identical base product number TFM-107.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TFM-107-01-L-S and TFM-107-01-L-S-WT are active production parts from Samtec Inc. with full ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 material flammability certification. The parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all specified parameters.

The TFM-107-01-L-S-WT variant includes solder retention as an additional feature. This distinction does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility but may provide enhanced assembly reliability in specific manufacturing environments.

Selection between these parts should be based on design requirements for solder retention capability and current inventory availability. Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings, operating temperature ranges, and compliance certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are TFM-107-01-L-S and TFM-107-01-L-S-WT fully interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (2.9A per Contact, 275VAC), mechanical dimensions, contact configurations, and operating temperature ranges (-55°C ~ 125°C). The TFM-107-01-L-S-WT includes solder retention as an additional feature that does not affect interchangeability.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for this connector?

A: Substitution is valid when the alternative part maintains the same connector type (Header), position count (7), pitch (0.050" / 1.27mm), mounting method (Through Hole), shrouding (Shrouded - 4 Wall), contact type (Male Pin), termination (Solder), and electrical ratings. Both parts meet these criteria.

Q: Does the solder retention feature on TFM-107-01-L-S-WT affect PCB layout or design?

A: No. Solder retention is an internal feature that does not alter the external mechanical envelope, pin configuration, or mounting footprint. PCB layout remains identical between both parts.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging?

A: Yes. Both TFM-107-01-L-S and TFM-107-01-L-S-WT are supplied in Tube packaging.

Q: What is the compliance status of these parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, UL94 V-0 rated, and carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). Both are classified as EAR99 for export control purposes.
