• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (30)
• Number of rows (2)
• Pitch - mating (0.050" / 1.27mm)
• Row spacing - mating (0.050" / 1.27mm)
• Mounting type (Surface Mount)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Fastening type (Push-Pull)
• Electrical ratings (Current: 2.9A per Contact; Voltage: 275VAC)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Material compliance (ROHS3 Compliant, UL94 V-0)

The substitute part TFM-115-32-S-D-A-P maintains identical specifications across all these parameters, confirming direct substitutability within the Tiger Eye™ TFM series.
