Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (7)
• Pitch - mating (0.050" / 1.27mm)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Fastening type (Push-Pull)
• Current rating (2.9A per Contact)
• Voltage rating (275VAC)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Material compliance (ROHS3, UL94 V-0)

The identified substitute part maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in secondary features such as solder retention characteristics do not affect functional interchangeability in applications where the primary connector specifications are required.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TFM-107-01-S-S and TFM-107-01-S-S-WT are active production parts from Samtec Inc. with full regulatory compliance. Both parts meet ROHS3 requirements and UL94 V-0 flammability standards. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements and supply availability. The TFM-107-01-S-S-WT variant includes solder retention features, which may provide additional process robustness in high-volume manufacturing environments. Both parts are suitable for applications requiring 7-position headers with 0.050" pitch, through-hole mounting, and push-pull fastening within the specified electrical and thermal operating ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications including current rating (2.9A per contact), voltage rating (275VAC), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). They are electrically interchangeable in all applications.

Q: What is the difference between TFM-107-01-S-S and TFM-107-01-S-S-WT?

A: The primary difference is the inclusion of solder retention features in the TFM-107-01-S-S-WT variant. Both parts maintain identical mechanical dimensions, contact configurations, and electrical ratings.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in PCB designs?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical mounting types (through-hole), shrouding (shrouded 4-wall), and pitch specifications (0.050" / 1.27mm). PCB footprints designed for one part are compatible with the other.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, UL94 V-0 rated for flammability, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification.

Q: Are there any temperature or environmental limitations for these connectors?

A: Both parts operate within -55°C to 125°C. Insulation material is liquid crystal polymer (LCP) with UL94 V-0 rating. MSL 1 classification indicates no moisture sensitivity restrictions.
