Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSM-104-01-L-SH-A-P-TR is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Connector Type, Contact Type, Number of Positions, Number of Rows, Pitch - Mating, Mounting Type, Termination, Fastening Type, Contact Length - Mating, Insulation Height, Contact Shape, Contact Finish - Mating, Contact Finish Thickness - Mating, Contact Finish - Post, Contact Material, Insulation Material, Operating Temperature, Material Flammability Rating, Features, Packaging, Product Status, RoHS Status, and Moisture Sensitivity Level.

All identified substitute parts maintain identical specifications across these parameters, ensuring direct functional and mechanical compatibility without design modification or performance degradation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TSM-104-01-L-SH-A-P-TR and TSM-104-01-L-SH-A-K-TR are active production parts from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these parts is based on procurement availability and inventory status rather than technical performance criteria. The TSM-104-01-L-SH-A-K-TR currently maintains higher inventory levels (1476 Pcs) compared to the primary part number (1125 Pcs), making it suitable for high-volume production requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are TSM-104-01-L-SH-A-P-TR and TSM-104-01-L-SH-A-K-TR mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical dimensions, mounting type (surface mount right-angle), contact geometry, and insulation height. Direct substitution is possible without PCB redesign or mechanical modification.

Q: Do these parts have identical electrical performance?

A: Yes. Both parts use phosphor bronze contacts with gold mating finish (10.0µin thickness) and tin post finish. Contact material, contact shape, and mating contact length are identical across both part numbers.

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

A: The difference is indicated by the suffix character in the part number (P versus K). Both parts are functionally equivalent with identical specifications across all provided parameters.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across -55°C to 125°C, with identical UL94 V-0 flammability rating and LCP insulation material.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Are these parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both TSM-104-01-L-SH-A-P-TR and TSM-104-01-L-SH-A-K-TR are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What packaging format is used for these connectors?

A: Both parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly processes.
