Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TSM-102-01-SS-SV are identified within the Samtec TSM series based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Header, Cuttable
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 2
• Number of Rows: 1
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Contact Length - Mating: 0.230" (5.84mm)
• Insulation Height: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Contact Shape: Square
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Insulation Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

All substitute parts maintain these core specifications. Variations exist only in contact finish specifications and mechanical features such as board lock capability, which do not affect fundamental electrical or mechanical compatibility for standard board-to-board applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four parts—TSM-102-01-SS-SV, TSM-102-01-S-SV, TSM-102-01-SM-SV, and TSM-102-01-S-SV-LC—are active products manufactured by Samtec Inc. and maintain full ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification.

The primary distinction among these parts is the mechanical feature set:

• TSM-102-01-SS-SV, TSM-102-01-S-SV, TSM-102-01-SM-SV: Standard configurations without board lock feature
• TSM-102-01-S-SV-LC: Includes board lock feature for enhanced mechanical retention

Selection between standard and board lock variants depends on application requirements for connector retention. All parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent for standard board-to-board solder applications within the specified operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Inventory availability varies across the four part numbers, with TSM-102-01-S-SV offering the highest stock level at 1941 units.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are all four part numbers electrically equivalent?

A: Yes. TSM-102-01-SS-SV, TSM-102-01-S-SV, TSM-102-01-SM-SV, and TSM-102-01-S-SV-LC share identical electrical specifications including contact material (Phosphor Bronze), contact finish (Gold mating surface, Tin post), pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C).

Q: What is the difference between the standard variants and the TSM-102-01-S-SV-LC?

A: The TSM-102-01-S-SV-LC includes a board lock feature for improved mechanical retention. This is the only functional difference; all other electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical.

Q: Can I substitute TSM-102-01-SS-SV with any of the other three part numbers?

A: Yes. All four parts maintain the same connector type (Header, Cuttable), contact type (Male Pin), number of positions (2), pitch (2.54mm), mounting type (Surface Mount), and termination method (Solder). They are mechanically and electrically interchangeable for standard applications.

Q: Are all parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All four part numbers are ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1, indicating unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions.

Q: Which part should I select if inventory is a concern?

A: TSM-102-01-S-SV has the highest inventory availability at 1941 units, followed by TSM-102-01-SM-SV at 1567 units and TSM-102-01-S-SV-LC at 1071 units. The main part TSM-102-01-SS-SV has 896 units in stock.

Q: Do these connectors support push-pull fastening?

A: Yes. All four part numbers feature push-pull fastening type for secure mating and demating operations.
