TSM-104-01-LM-SH Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSM-104-01-LM-SH is a surface mount right-angle rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc. This 4-position header operates at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and is designed for board-to-board or cable connections with solder termination. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, specific feature requirements, or regional compliance variations while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for TSM-104-01-LM-SH is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 4
• Number of Rows: 1
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• 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)

All identified substitute parts maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Variations exist only in optional features (Board Guide, Pick and Place) and regional compliance designations (REACH Status).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the TSM-104-01-LM-SH. Selection among equivalent parts is based on the following criteria:

TSM-104-01-L-SH: Standard configuration with REACH Unaffected status. Suitable for applications without specific regional compliance requirements.

TSM-104-01-L-SH-A: Includes Board Guide feature and carries REACH Affected designation. Select when board-level guidance is required for assembly or when REACH compliance documentation is necessary for the application region.

TSM-104-01-L-SH-P: Includes Pick and Place feature with REACH Unaffected status. Select for automated assembly processes requiring pick-and-place compatibility.

All parts are ROHS3 compliant, UL94 V-0 rated, and operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are TSM-104-01-L-SH, TSM-104-01-L-SH-A, and TSM-104-01-L-SH-P electrically and mechanically interchangeable with TSM-104-01-LM-SH?

A: Yes. All substitute parts share identical contact type, pitch, number of positions, mounting configuration, termination method, contact materials, and operating temperature range. Differences are limited to optional assembly features and regional compliance designations.

Q: What is the significance of the Board Guide feature in TSM-104-01-L-SH-A?

A: The Board Guide feature provides mechanical alignment assistance during assembly. This is a physical design enhancement that does not affect electrical performance or mating compatibility.

Q: What does the Pick and Place feature in TSM-104-01-L-SH-P indicate?

A: The Pick and Place feature indicates the part is optimized for automated assembly equipment. This affects manufacturing process compatibility but does not alter electrical or mechanical mating characteristics.

Q: How do REACH Status designations affect part selection?

A: REACH Status indicates regional chemical compliance documentation. REACH Unaffected parts require no additional REACH compliance documentation. REACH Affected parts carry full REACH compliance documentation. Selection depends on the regulatory requirements of the application region.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided the design does not specifically require or exclude the optional features (Board Guide or Pick and Place). All parts maintain the same footprint, pitch, contact configuration, and electrical characteristics.
