Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TML-113-01-S-D is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Number of Positions: 26
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Style: Board to Board

Acceptable Variations:

• Shrouding configuration (4-wall vs. 2-wall designs maintain functional compatibility)
• Contact shape (square vs. circular)
• Insulation material (LCP vs. thermoplastic)
• Fastening mechanism (push-pull vs. latch holder)
• Contact length specifications within mating interface tolerance
• Operating temperature range (substitute may have narrower range if application requirements are met)

The substitute part 6-104068-2 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) meets all mandatory matching parameters and is therefore classified as a direct functional equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection Criteria:

The TML-113-01-S-D and 6-104068-2 are functionally equivalent for applications requiring 26-position, 0.050" pitch through-hole header connectors with board-to-board connectivity. Both parts are active products with current manufacturing status and full RoHS compliance.

Temperature Range Consideration:

The TML-113-01-S-D operates from -55°C to 125°C, while the 6-104068-2 operates from -65°C to 105°C. Applications requiring operation above 105°C must use the TML-113-01-S-D. Applications operating below -55°C must use the 6-104068-2. For applications within the overlapping range (-55°C to 105°C), either part is suitable.

Compliance and Certifications:

Both parts meet EAR99 export classification and share identical HTSUS commodity codes. The TML-113-01-S-D carries ROHS3 compliance, while the 6-104068-2 carries RoHS compliance. Both certifications satisfy current regulatory requirements for electronic components.

Packaging and Inventory:

The TML-113-01-S-D is supplied in bulk packaging with 876 units in stock. The 6-104068-2 is supplied in tube packaging with 1045 units in stock. Packaging selection depends on assembly process requirements and handling procedures.

Mechanical Variations:

The 4-wall shrouding of the TML-113-01-S-D provides enhanced EMI shielding compared to the 2-wall shrouding of the 6-104068-2. Applications requiring superior electromagnetic isolation should specify the TML-113-01-S-D. The square contact geometry of the TML-113-01-S-D differs from the circular contacts of the 6-104068-2; both geometries provide equivalent electrical performance within the specified pitch and mating interface.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6-104068-2 be used as a direct replacement for the TML-113-01-S-D in existing designs?

A: Yes, for applications operating within the overlapping temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. The critical parameters—pitch, position count, row spacing, mounting type, and termination method—are identical. The 2-wall shrouding and circular contact geometry of the 6-104068-2 are functionally compatible with mating connectors designed for the TML-113-01-S-D.

Q: What is the impact of the different shrouding configurations?

A: The TML-113-01-S-D features 4-wall shrouding, which provides complete perimeter protection and enhanced EMI shielding. The 6-104068-2 features 2-wall shrouding, which provides reduced perimeter protection. For applications sensitive to electromagnetic interference, the 4-wall design is preferred. For general-purpose applications, both configurations are acceptable.

Q: Are the contact materials interchangeable?

A: Both the phosphor bronze contacts of the TML-113-01-S-D and the copper alloy contacts of the 6-104068-2 provide equivalent electrical conductivity and mating performance. Both materials are gold-plated to 30.0µin thickness on the mating surface and tin-plated on the post. Contact material differences do not affect functional compatibility.

Q: What are the packaging implications for assembly?

A: The TML-113-01-S-D is supplied in bulk packaging, suitable for high-volume automated assembly processes. The 6-104068-2 is supplied in tube packaging, which may require additional handling for automated pick-and-place operations. Packaging selection should align with assembly line capabilities and material handling procedures.

Q: How do the operating temperature ranges affect part selection?

A: The TML-113-01-S-D supports -55°C to 125°C operation. The 6-104068-2 supports -65°C to 105°C operation. For applications requiring operation above 105°C, the TML-113-01-S-D is mandatory. For applications requiring operation below -55°C, the 6-104068-2 is mandatory. Within the -55°C to 105°C overlap, either part meets temperature requirements.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The TML-113-01-S-D is ROHS3 compliant. The 6-104068-2 is RoHS compliant. Both certifications satisfy current regulatory requirements for lead-free electronic components in regulated markets.

Q: What is the significance of the voltage rating difference?

A: The 6-104068-2 specifies a 30VAC voltage rating. The TML-113-01-S-D does not specify a voltage rating in the provided data. For applications requiring explicit voltage rating documentation, the 6-104068-2 provides this specification. Both parts are suitable for standard logic-level and low-voltage signal applications.
