TSM-102-01-T-SH-LC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSM-102-01-T-SH-LC is a surface mount, right-angle rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc. This 2-position connector operates across -55°C to 105°C and features phosphor bronze contacts with tin finish, solder termination, and board lock functionality. The part is Active status and ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating. Equivalent parts are identified when design requirements permit substitution based on matching electrical and mechanical parameters within acceptable tolerances.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The GEC02SBSN-M89 (Sullins Connector Solutions) qualifies as an equivalent substitute based on the following matching parameters:

• Connector Type: Header (with breakaway feature)
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Positions: 2
• Number of Rows: 1
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish - Mating: Tin
• Style: Board to Board or Cable
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Contact Shape: Square
• Insulation Color: Black
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited)

Substitution is valid where the design accommodates the mechanical and thermal differences noted in the parameter comparison table.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both parts maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance. The GEC02SBSN-M89 offers an extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 150°C versus -55°C to 105°C) and includes a specified current rating of 3A. The insulation material differs (LCP versus PA9T Nylon 9T) and insulation height increases by 0.020" (0.51mm). These differences are within acceptable mechanical tolerances for board-to-board connector applications where the design does not depend on the specific insulation material properties or the tighter height specification of the original part. Both parts carry identical flammability ratings and moisture sensitivity levels, supporting direct substitution in standard PCB assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can GEC02SBSN-M89 replace TSM-102-01-T-SH-LC in all applications?

A: Substitution is valid where the 0.020" increase in insulation height and the change from LCP to PA9T insulation material do not conflict with design constraints. The extended temperature range of the substitute part does not restrict its use in applications requiring the original temperature range.

Q: What is the significance of the breakaway feature on the GEC02SBSN-M89?

A: The breakaway feature allows individual positions to be separated from the connector strip. This does not affect compatibility with mating connectors or PCB assembly when the full 2-position header is used intact.

Q: Are there differences in solder joint reliability between these parts?

A: Both parts use phosphor bronze contacts with tin finish and solder termination. Reliability is determined by PCB design, reflow profile, and assembly process rather than the connector manufacturer.

Q: Does the insulation material change affect electrical performance?

A: Both LCP and PA9T materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and are suitable for standard PCB applications. Material selection does not impact electrical characteristics for this connector class.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: TSM-102-01-T-SH-LC has 707 pieces in stock. GEC02SBSN-M89 has 3410 pieces in stock.
