Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TMM-103-02-LM-S and its identified substitute TMM-103-02-L-S are functionally equivalent based on the following critical parameters:

  • Connector Type & Configuration: Both are 3-position male pin headers with identical pitch (2.00mm)
  • Electrical Characteristics: Identical current rating (3.2A per Contact), contact material (Phosphor Bronze), and mating contact finish (Gold)
  • Mechanical Specifications: Matching contact dimensions, insulation height, overall contact length, and through-hole mounting configuration
  • Material & Compliance: Both utilize Liquid Crystal Polymer insulation, maintain ROHS3 compliance, and share identical operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
  • Moisture Sensitivity: Both rated MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The substitution is based strictly on these electrical and mechanical parameters being identical across both part numbers within the TMM series.
