Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TSM-103-02-LM-SH-A-P-TR and TSM-103-02-L-SH-A-P-TR maintain Active product status within the Samtec TSM series. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The parts are functionally equivalent for applications requiring 3-position surface mount right-angle headers with 0.100" pitch, solder termination, and operating temperatures from -55°C to 125°C. Selection between these parts may be based on inventory availability and packaging requirements, as both are supplied in Tape & Reel format.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if a part can substitute for the TSM-103-02-LM-SH-A-P-TR?

A: Substitution requires matching all critical parameters: manufacturer (Samtec Inc.), series (TSM), connector type (Header), contact type (Male Pin), pitch (0.100"), position count (3), row count (1), mounting type (Surface Mount Right Angle), termination (Solder), insulation material (LCP), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), contact finish (Gold), flammability rating (UL94 V-0), RoHS compliance (ROHS3), and MSL rating (1).

Q: Are the TSM-103-02-LM-SH-A-P-TR and TSM-103-02-L-SH-A-P-TR mechanically compatible?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical specifications including pitch, position count, row configuration, mounting orientation, and insulation material. They are mechanically interchangeable for board-level applications.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The parts are equivalent within the TSM series. Differences in the part number designations reflect internal Samtec coding but do not affect electrical or mechanical performance for the specified parameters.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across the -55°C to 125°C temperature range and maintain UL94 V-0 flammability compliance throughout this range.

Q: What packaging options are available?

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