TMS-130-02-S-D Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TMS-130-02-S-D is a 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch micro header connector manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole board-to-board applications. This 60-position, 2-row unshrouded header features gold-plated mating contacts and tin-plated posts, with an operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The component is Active in product status and ROHS3 compliant. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure supply chain flexibility, manage inventory across multiple vendors, and maintain design compatibility when the primary part becomes unavailable.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TMS-130-02-S-D are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The critical substitution criteria are:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.050" (1.27mm) — exact match required
• Number of Positions: 60 — exact match required
• Number of Rows: 2 — exact match required
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) — exact match required
• Connector Type: Header — exact match required
• Contact Type: Male Pin — exact match required
• Mounting Type: Through Hole — exact match required
• Termination: Solder — exact match required
• Shrouding: Unshrouded — exact match required
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold — exact match required
• Contact Finish - Post: Tin — exact match required
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 — exact match required
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant — exact match required

The substitute part 6-103916-4 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) meets all critical substitution criteria and is therefore classified as a direct equivalent for the TMS-130-02-S-D.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TMS-130-02-S-D and 6-103916-4 are Active products with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. The parts share identical mating pitch, position count, row configuration, and contact geometry, establishing them as direct mechanical and electrical equivalents for board-to-board through-hole applications.

Variations exist in contact length dimensions, insulation material composition, and operating temperature ranges. The TMS-130-02-S-D operates across -55°C to 125°C with LCP insulation, while the 6-103916-4 operates across -65°C to 105°C with thermoplastic insulation. Selection between these parts depends on application-specific thermal requirements and environmental conditions.

Both parts are available in production quantities with established supply chains, supporting long-term design continuity and procurement flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6-103916-4 be used as a direct replacement for the TMS-130-02-S-D in existing designs?

A: Yes, the 6-103916-4 is mechanically and electrically compatible for board-to-board through-hole applications. Both parts share identical mating pitch (0.050"), position count (60), row configuration (2 rows), contact type (male pin), and flammability rating (UL94 V-0). Verify that application operating temperature requirements fall within the -65°C to 105°C range of the 6-103916-4.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are contact length dimensions, insulation material, and operating temperature range. The TMS-130-02-S-D features LCP insulation and operates to 125°C, while the 6-103916-4 uses thermoplastic insulation and operates to 105°C. Contact length variations are minor (0.100" vs. 0.125" mating contact length) and do not affect mating compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both the TMS-130-02-S-D and 6-103916-4 are ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited).

Q: What is the pitch specification for these connectors?

A: Both connectors feature a 0.050" (1.27mm) mating pitch with 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing, establishing them as micro header connectors suitable for high-density board-to-board interconnections.

Q: Are these parts suitable for automotive or medical applications?

A: The 6-103916-4 is specified for automotive, general purpose, medical, and telecommunications applications. Application suitability for the TMS-130-02-S-D should be confirmed against specific design requirements and environmental conditions.
