Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TFM-150-32-SM-D-A are identified within the Tiger Eye™ TFM series based on electrical and mechanical compatibility. The primary substitution criteria are:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Pitch - Mating: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Number of Positions: 100
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Current Rating: 2.9A per Contact
• Voltage Rating: 275VAC
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C

Mechanical Parameters (Variable):

• Insulation Height: Differs between variants (0.435" or 0.360")
• Termination and mounting characteristics remain consistent across substitutes

The TFM-150-32-SM-D-A differs from substitute TFM-150-22-S-D-A primarily in insulation height (0.435" versus 0.360"), while TFM-150-32-S-D-A shares identical mechanical and electrical specifications with the main part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—TFM-150-32-SM-D-A, TFM-150-32-S-D-A, and TFM-150-22-S-D-A—are active products from Samtec Inc. with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. Selection between these parts depends on mechanical fit requirements within the application.

TFM-150-32-SM-D-A and TFM-150-32-S-D-A are electrically and mechanically identical, with both featuring an insulation height of 0.435" (11.05mm). These parts are direct equivalents and interchangeable for applications requiring this specific height dimension.

TFM-150-22-S-D-A provides an alternative with reduced insulation height of 0.360" (9.14mm). This part maintains all electrical specifications and compliance certifications but is suitable only for applications where the lower profile is required or preferred.

All parts share identical electrical ratings, contact materials, finishes, and operating temperature ranges, ensuring functional compatibility within their respective mechanical constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TFM-150-32-SM-D-A be replaced with TFM-150-32-S-D-A?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical, with matching insulation heights of 0.435" (11.05mm). They are direct substitutes within the Tiger Eye™ TFM series.

Q: What is the difference between TFM-150-32-SM-D-A and TFM-150-22-S-D-A?

A: The primary difference is insulation height. TFM-150-32-SM-D-A has an insulation height of 0.435" (11.05mm), while TFM-150-22-S-D-A has an insulation height of 0.360" (9.14mm). All electrical parameters, contact ratings, and compliance certifications are identical.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. TFM-150-32-SM-D-A, TFM-150-32-S-D-A, and TFM-150-22-S-D-A are all ROHS3 compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability ratings.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: All three parts have a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1, indicating unlimited shelf life without special storage requirements.

Q: Can these connectors handle the same current and voltage?

A: Yes. All three parts are rated for 2.9A per contact and 275VAC, with operating temperatures from -55°C to 125°C.

Q: Which part should I select for space-constrained applications?

A: For applications requiring a lower profile, TFM-150-22-S-D-A with its 0.360" (9.14mm) insulation height is the appropriate choice. For standard height requirements, TFM-150-32-SM-D-A or TFM-150-32-S-D-A are suitable.
