Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TSM-102-02-L-SV-A are identified based on equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary differentiator between the main part and its substitute is packaging format. The substitution logic is based on the following key parameters that must remain identical:

• 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: 0.320" (8.13mm)
• Insulation Height: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Contact Shape: Square
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold at 10.0µin (0.25µm)
• Contact Finish - Post: Tin
• 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: 1 (Unlimited)

The TSM-102-02-LM-SV-A qualifies as a direct substitute with identical specifications across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The difference lies in packaging: the main part is supplied in Bulk format, while the substitute is supplied in Tube format.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations
