Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between TMM-108-01-T-S-RA-007 and TMM-108-01-T-S-RA-002 is valid based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Both parts share identical specifications across all critical selection criteria: same manufacturer (Samtec Inc.), same series (TMM), same connector type (Header), same contact type (Male Pin), same number of positions (8), same mating pitch (0.079" / 2.00mm), same mounting configuration (Through Hole, Right Angle), same termination method (Solder), same contact material (Phosphor Bronze), same insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer), same current rating (3.2A per Contact), same operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C), and same compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL Level 1).

The only difference between these parts is packaging format: TMM-108-01-T-S-RA-007 is supplied in Tube packaging, while TMM-108-01-T-S-RA-002 is supplied in Bulk packaging. This distinction affects logistics and handling but does not alter functional or electrical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TMM-108-01-T-S-RA-007 and TMM-108-01-T-S-RA-002 are active production parts with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and supply chain considerations. The tube packaging of TMM-108-01-T-S-RA-007 provides individual component protection suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly operations. The bulk packaging of TMM-108-01-T-S-RA-002 offers cost efficiency for high-volume manual assembly or reel-based automated processes. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with standard manufacturing environments and long-term storage without moisture sensitivity concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are TMM-108-01-T-S-RA-007 and TMM-108-01-T-S-RA-002 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. They share the same contact material (Phosphor Bronze), current rating (3.2A per Contact), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C), and all electrical specifications. The only difference is packaging format.

Q: What is the difference between Tube and Bulk packaging?

A: Tube packaging supplies individual components in protective tubes, typically used for automated assembly lines. Bulk packaging supplies components in larger quantities without individual tube protection, typically used for manual assembly or high-volume operations. Both formats contain the same functional component.

Q: Can I use TMM-108-01-T-S-RA-002 as a direct replacement for TMM-108-01-T-S-RA-007 on a PCB?

A: Yes. The physical dimensions, pin configuration, mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle), and all electrical characteristics are identical. Direct PCB substitution is valid without design modification.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both TMM-108-01-T-S-RA-007 and TMM-108-01-T-S-RA-002 are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL Level 1 rating, indicating unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions.

Q: What is the mating pitch for these connectors?

A: The mating pitch is 0.079 inches (2.00mm) for both parts. This specification determines compatibility with mating connectors and PCB layout requirements.

Q: How many positions are loaded in these connectors?

A: Both parts have 8 total positions with 7 positions loaded. This configuration is standard for the TMM series 8-position header design.
