Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TMS-130-02-T-D and 6-103916-4 are Active products with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these parts should be based on the following provided specifications:

Contact finish differences exist: the TMS-130-02-T-D features tin-plated mating contacts, while the 6-103916-4 features gold-plated mating contacts with specified thickness of 30.0µin (0.76µm). Contact material differs between phosphor bronze and copper alloy respectively.

Insulation material differs: TMS-130-02-T-D uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), while 6-103916-4 uses thermoplastic material.

Operating temperature range for 6-103916-4 extends to -65°C minimum compared to -55°C for TMS-130-02-T-D.

Contact length specifications vary slightly: mating contact length is 0.100" (2.54mm) for TMS-130-02-T-D versus 0.125" (3.18mm) for 6-103916-4, with post lengths of 0.120" (3.05mm) and 0.100" (2.54mm) respectively.

The 6-103916-4 supports both board-to-board and cable applications, while TMS-130-02-T-D is specified for board-to-board style.
