TOLC-115-12-S-Q Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TOLC-115-12-S-Q is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc. within the FOURRAY™ TOLC series. This surface mount connector features 60 positions arranged in 4 rows with 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch, designed for board-to-board applications. The part is currently active in production with full inventory availability. Substitute parts are identified to provide design flexibility when specific stacking heights or lead times require alternative configurations within the same connector family.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TOLC-115-12-S-Q has one identified substitute within the FOURRAY™ TOLC series: TOLC-115-32-S-Q. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications with the following exceptions:

Parameters that remain constant (substitution criteria):

• Connector type, contact type, and gender (Header, Elevated; Male Pin)
• Number of positions and row configuration (60 positions, 4 rows)
• Pitch specifications (0.050" mating pitch, 0.050" row spacing)
• Contact material, finish, and current rating (Phosphor Bronze; Gold finish; 2.4A per Contact)
• Mounting type and termination method (Surface Mount; Solder)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Compliance certifications (ROHS3, UL94 V-0, REACH Unaffected)

Parameters that differ (application-dependent selection):

• Insulation height: 0.285" (7.25mm) vs. 0.442" (11.23mm)
• Mated stacking height: 8mm vs. 12mm

Substitution is valid when the application PCB layout and mating connector accommodate the different stacking height and insulation height dimensions.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TOLC-115-12-S-Q and TOLC-115-32-S-Q are active production parts with full regulatory compliance (ROHS3, UL94 V-0, REACH Unaffected). Selection between these parts depends solely on mechanical fit requirements within the application:

• Select TOLC-115-12-S-Q when an 8mm mated stacking height and 0.285" (7.25mm) insulation height are required.
• Select TOLC-115-32-S-Q when a 12mm mated stacking height and 0.442" (11.23mm) insulation height are required.

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, current capacity, temperature rating, and contact specifications. Inventory availability is confirmed for both variants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TOLC-115-32-S-Q be used as a direct replacement for TOLC-115-12-S-Q?

A: Direct replacement is possible only if the application PCB layout and mating connector accommodate the increased stacking height (12mm vs. 8mm) and insulation height (0.442" vs. 0.285"). Electrical performance and contact specifications are identical.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The primary difference is the mated stacking height and insulation height. TOLC-115-12-S-Q provides a more compact profile at 8mm stacking height, while TOLC-115-32-S-Q offers 12mm stacking height for applications requiring greater clearance or specific board-to-board spacing.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current industry standards?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, UL94 V-0 rated, and REACH unaffected. Both are active production parts with confirmed inventory.

Q: Do these connectors support the same current and voltage specifications?

A: Both parts support 2.4A per contact with identical contact material (Phosphor Bronze) and gold finish specifications. Operating temperature range is -55°C ~ 125°C for both variants.

Q: What packaging format is used for these connectors?

A: Both TOLC-115-12-S-Q and TOLC-115-32-S-Q are supplied in tube packaging for surface mount applications.
