TML-130-01-S-D Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TML-130-01-S-D is a shrouded rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole board-to-board applications. This 60-position connector operates at 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch with dual-row configuration and 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing. The part is currently active in production with 913 units in stock. Alternative equivalent parts are necessary when original inventory is unavailable, when specific packaging requirements differ, or when design revisions require connector variants with compatible electrical and mechanical characteristics.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TML-130-01-S-D is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 60
• Number of Rows: 2
• Pitch - Mating: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Style: Board to Board compatibility

Acceptable Variation Parameters:

• Shrouding configuration (4-wall vs. 2-wall designs maintain functional compatibility)
• Contact shape (square vs. circular)
• Insulation material (LCP vs. Thermoplastic)
• Fastening type (Push-Pull vs. Latch Holder)
• Contact finish post composition (Tin vs. Tin-Lead)
• Packaging format (Bulk vs. Tube)

The substitute parts 104068-6 and 5-104068-6 from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors meet all mandatory matching parameters and are therefore electrically and mechanically compatible with the TML-130-01-S-D for board-to-board interconnection applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: 5-104068-6

The 5-104068-6 is the preferred equivalent substitute for the TML-130-01-S-D. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, ensuring regulatory alignment for modern electronics manufacturing. The 5-104068-6 maintains identical pitch, row spacing, position count, and through-hole solder termination. The part is currently active in production with 1336 units in stock, providing supply continuity. The operating temperature range of -65°C ~ 105°C covers the lower end of the TML-130-01-S-D specification (-55°C ~ 125°C), making it suitable for most industrial and commercial applications within the -55°C to 105°C overlap window.

Secondary Substitute: 104068-6

The 104068-6 is functionally equivalent but carries "Not applicable" RoHS status, indicating it may not meet current regulatory requirements for new designs targeting ROHS3 compliance. This part should be selected only when legacy system compatibility or specific design constraints require the Tin-Lead post finish or when RoHS compliance is not a project requirement. Inventory availability is 1139 units.

Key Considerations:

Both TE Connectivity substitutes feature 2-wall shrouding compared to the 4-wall design of the TML-130-01-S-D. This represents a reduction in mechanical protection but maintains electrical isolation and connector integrity for standard board-to-board applications. The circular contact geometry of the TE parts differs from the square contacts of the Samtec original, but both geometries are standard in 0.050" pitch connector technology and provide equivalent electrical performance.

The TE Connectivity parts support both board-to-board and cable applications, offering greater application flexibility than the TML-130-01-S-D, which is specified for board-to-board only.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 104068-6 and 5-104068-6 be used interchangeably with the TML-130-01-S-D?

A: Yes, both TE Connectivity parts are electrically and mechanically compatible substitutes. They share identical pitch (0.050"), row spacing (0.100"), position count (60), row configuration (2), mounting type (through-hole), and termination method (solder). The primary differences are shrouding design (2-wall vs. 4-wall), contact geometry (circular vs. square), and fastening mechanism (latch holder vs. push-pull), which do not affect functional compatibility in board-to-board applications.

Q: What is the difference between 104068-6 and 5-104068-6?

A: Both parts are from the TE Connectivity AMPMODU System 50 series with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status: 5-104068-6 is ROHS3 compliant, while 104068-6 is not applicable for RoHS. Additionally, 5-104068-6 uses Tin post finish while 104068-6 uses Tin-Lead post finish. For new designs requiring RoHS3 compliance, 5-104068-6 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Does the 2-wall shrouding of the TE parts provide adequate protection compared to the 4-wall shrouding of the TML-130-01-S-D?

A: Both 2-wall and 4-wall shrouding designs provide electrical isolation and connector integrity for standard board-to-board interconnection. The 4-wall design offers enhanced mechanical protection and EMI shielding, while 2-wall designs are standard in high-density connector applications. Selection depends on specific application requirements for mechanical robustness and electromagnetic interference mitigation.

Q: Are there temperature range limitations when substituting the TE parts for the TML-130-01-S-D?

A: The TE Connectivity substitutes operate from -65°C to 105°C, while the TML-130-01-S-D operates from -55°C to 125°C. The TE parts are suitable for applications within the -55°C to 105°C overlap range. Applications requiring operation above 105°C or below -65°C must use the original TML-130-01-S-D or identify alternative connectors with extended temperature ratings.

Q: What packaging format differences exist between these parts?

A: The TML-130-01-S-D is supplied in Bulk packaging, while both TE Connectivity substitutes are supplied in Tube packaging. Tube packaging provides organized component presentation and may facilitate automated assembly processes. Bulk packaging is typically used for high-volume applications. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Can these connectors be used in cable-to-board applications?

A: The TML-130-01-S-D is specified for board-to-board applications only. The TE Connectivity substitutes (104068-6 and 5-104068-6) support both board-to-board and cable applications, providing greater application flexibility. If cable connectivity is required, the TE parts offer this additional capability.
