TML-130-03-G-D-RA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TML-130-03-G-D-RA is a shrouded rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole, right-angle board-to-board applications. This 60-position connector operates across a wide temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and features a 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch with 2-row configuration and 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing. The connector is actively produced and ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for applications requiring reliable interconnection in industrial and commercial environments. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is essential for supply chain continuity, cost optimization, and design flexibility when the primary part becomes unavailable or when alternative sourcing is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TML-130-03-G-D-RA is determined by strict alignment of critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The following parameters must match or be compatible:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Pitch - Mating: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Number of Positions: 60
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• Shrouding: Present (shrouded configuration)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Shrouding wall count (4-wall vs. 2-wall configurations are functionally compatible)
• Contact Length specifications (mating and post lengths may vary within application tolerance)
• Insulation Height (dimensional variations acceptable if mounting and mating are preserved)
• Contact Shape (square vs. circular acceptable if electrical performance maintained)
• Fastening Type (Push-Pull vs. Latch Holder both provide secure connection)
• Contact Material composition (Phosphor Bronze vs. Copper Alloy both acceptable)
• Insulation Material type (LCP vs. Thermoplastic both acceptable)
• Operating Temperature range (substitute range must encompass or overlap primary range)

The substitute part 5-104069-7 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) meets all critical matching parameters and operates within compatible allowable variations.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection (TML-130-03-G-D-RA): Select the TML-130-03-G-D-RA when the design specifically requires the 4-wall shrouded configuration, the extended operating temperature range to -55°C, or when the Liquid Crystal Polymer insulation material is specified. This part is actively produced with 902 units in stock and maintains full ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 export classification.

Substitute Part Selection (5-104069-7): The 5-104069-7 serves as a functional equivalent when supply constraints affect the primary part. This TE Connectivity connector maintains all critical mating parameters and is actively produced with 1115 units in stock. The 2-wall shrouded configuration provides adequate EMI shielding for most applications. The operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C covers the majority of industrial applications, though the upper limit is 20°C lower than the primary part. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, ensuring regulatory and trade compliance equivalence.

Compliance Equivalence: Both parts satisfy ROHS3 requirements and EAR99 export classification. The 5-104069-7 includes UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity designation, providing additional material certifications for specific application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5-104069-7 directly replace the TML-130-03-G-D-RA in existing designs?

A: The 5-104069-7 is mechanically and electrically compatible for board-to-board interconnection at the 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch with 60 positions in a 2-row configuration. However, dimensional variations exist: the 5-104069-7 has a lower insulation height (0.290" vs. 0.370") and shorter contact lengths. Verify that PCB layout, mating connector clearances, and mechanical mounting accommodate these dimensional differences before implementation.

Q: What is the difference between 4-wall and 2-wall shrouding?

A: The TML-130-03-G-D-RA features 4-wall shrouding (all four sides enclosed), while the 5-104069-7 features 2-wall shrouding (typically top and bottom enclosed). Both configurations provide adequate EMI shielding and mechanical protection for standard applications. The 4-wall design offers enhanced shielding and mechanical robustness, while the 2-wall design reduces overall connector profile and cost.

Q: Are the operating temperature ranges compatible?

A: The TML-130-03-G-D-RA operates from -55°C to 125°C, while the 5-104069-7 operates from -65°C to 105°C. The ranges overlap from -55°C to 105°C. If your application requires operation above 105°C or below -65°C, verify that the substitute part meets the specific temperature requirements. The primary part is required for applications exceeding 105°C.

Q: Do the different contact materials affect electrical performance?

A: The TML-130-03-G-D-RA uses Phosphor Bronze contacts while the 5-104069-7 uses Copper Alloy contacts. Both materials provide equivalent electrical conductivity and contact reliability for standard signal and power applications. Both feature gold mating surfaces, ensuring consistent contact resistance and corrosion resistance.

Q: What is the significance of the different fastening types?

A: The TML-130-03-G-D-RA uses Push-Pull fastening, while the 5-104069-7 uses Latch Holder fastening. Both mechanisms provide secure mated connections. Push-Pull fastening offers quick-disconnect capability, while Latch Holder fastening provides positive mechanical locking. Verify that the mating connector on your system is compatible with the selected fastening mechanism.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, both the TML-130-03-G-D-RA and 5-104069-7 are ROHS3 compliant, meeting all restricted substance requirements for lead-free manufacturing and hazardous material elimination.

Q: What packaging is available for both parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in tube packaging. The TML-130-03-G-D-RA has 902 units in stock, while the 5-104069-7 has 1115 units in stock.
