TSM-103-01-TM-SV-TR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSM-103-01-TM-SV-TR is a surface mount rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc. in the TSM series. This 3-position, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch connector is designed for board-to-board or cable applications with solder termination and push-pull fastening. The part is active and in production with 922 units currently in stock.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the TSM-103 base product family, allowing for component interchangeability in applications where specific feature sets or packaging configurations may vary.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts within the TSM-103 family are determined by equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type, contact type, and mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Position count (3 positions, 1 row)
• Mounting method (surface mount) and termination (solder)
• Contact material, insulation material, and operating temperature range
• Compliance certifications (ROHS3, UL94 V-0, MSL 1)

Variations between the main part and substitutes are limited to optional features such as board guide and pick-and-place compatibility, which do not affect core electrical or mechanical function. All substitute parts share the same base product number (TSM-103) and maintain full compatibility with applications designed for the TSM-103-01-TM-SV-TR.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain active product status and full ROHS3 compliance with UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between TSM-103-01-TM-SV-TR and its substitutes is based on feature requirements and inventory availability:

TSM-103-01-T-SV-P-TR offers the highest inventory level (33,809 units) with pick-and-place feature compatibility, suitable for high-volume manufacturing environments.

TSM-103-01-T-SV-TR provides baseline functionality without optional features and maintains 4,550 units in stock.

TSM-103-01-TM-SV-P-TR includes pick-and-place capability with 1,310 units available.

TSM-103-01-T-SV-A-P-TR combines board guide and pick-and-place features with 2,255 units in stock.

All parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, operating temperature range, and compliance certifications, ensuring functional interchangeability in applications designed for the TSM-103 base product.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are all TSM-103-01 variants electrically and mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts maintain identical contact type, pitch, position count, mounting method, termination, contact material, insulation material, and operating temperature range. Differences in optional features such as board guide or pick-and-place compatibility do not affect core electrical or mechanical function.

Q: What is the difference between parts with and without pick-and-place features?

A: Pick-and-place features are design enhancements for automated assembly compatibility. Parts without this feature function identically in applications but may require different handling during manufacturing. The core connector specifications remain unchanged.

Q: Does the board guide feature affect connector compatibility?

A: No. The board guide is an optional feature that aids in assembly alignment. It does not alter the electrical or mechanical interface of the connector. Parts with and without board guides are functionally equivalent.

Q: Can I substitute TSM-103-01-TM-SV-TR with TSM-103-01-T-SV-P-TR?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical core specifications including pitch, position count, contact material, insulation material, operating temperature, and compliance certifications. The primary difference is the addition of pick-and-place capability in the substitute part.

Q: Are all parts ROHS3 compliant and MSL 1?

A: Yes. All listed parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, ensuring compliance with environmental and handling requirements.

Q: What packaging format is used for all these parts?

A: All parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format, suitable for automated assembly processes.
