Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

• Connector Type & Configuration: Header, Cuttable; 4-position; 1-row layout
• Electrical Interface: Male pin contact type; 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch
• Physical Mounting: Surface mount solder termination
• Contact Specifications: Phosphor bronze material; gold mating finish (10.0µin); tin post finish
• Environmental Compliance: Operating temperature -55°C to 125°C; UL94 V-0 flammability; ROHS3 compliance; MSL 1
• Insulation Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)

The identified substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. Variations in packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) and optional features (Pick and Place capability) do not affect functional interchangeability in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain Active product status with identical ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between TSM-104-01-L-SV-TR and its substitutes is determined by packaging and procurement requirements rather than functional performance.

TSM-104-01-L-SV-TR (Tape & Reel): Primary specification for high-volume automated assembly operations.

TSM-104-01-L-SV-P-TR (Tape & Reel with Pick and Place): Functionally equivalent to the primary part with added Pick and Place feature designation. Tape & Reel packaging supports automated placement equipment.

TSM-104-01-LM-SV-P-TR (Cut Tape with Pick and Place): Functionally equivalent alternative supplied in Cut Tape format. Suitable for lower-volume applications or manual assembly workflows where Tape & Reel quantities exceed immediate requirements.

All parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, eliminating moisture-related handling constraints. REACH Unaffected status applies to substitute parts TSM-104-01-L-SV-P-TR and TSM-104-01-LM-SV-P-TR.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are TSM-104-01-L-SV-TR and TSM-104-01-L-SV-P-TR electrically and mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (4-position, 2.54mm pitch, male pin contacts), mechanical dimensions, contact materials, and environmental ratings. The primary difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel) and the Pick and Place feature designation on the substitute part.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel (TR) and Cut Tape (CT) packaging?

A: Tape & Reel packaging supplies components on continuous carrier tape wound on reels, optimized for high-speed automated assembly. Cut Tape packaging supplies the same components on shorter tape segments, suitable for lower-volume production or manual assembly. Both formats contain identical components with no functional differences.

Q: Can TSM-104-01-LM-SV-P-TR replace TSM-104-01-L-SV-TR in production?

A: Yes. TSM-104-01-LM-SV-P-TR is functionally equivalent across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitution is valid for any application using TSM-104-01-L-SV-TR. Packaging format (Cut Tape versus Tape & Reel) should be selected based on assembly process requirements and inventory management practices.

Q: Do these parts require special moisture handling?

A: No. All three parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints. Standard handling and storage practices are sufficient.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. TSM-104-01-L-SV-TR, TSM-104-01-L-SV-P-TR, and TSM-104-01-LM-SV-P-TR all meet ROHS3 compliance requirements. Substitute parts TSM-104-01-L-SV-P-TR and TSM-104-01-LM-SV-P-TR additionally carry REACH Unaffected status.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for rectangular connector headers in the TSM series?

A: Substitution is based on matching connector type (Header, Cuttable), position count (4), pitch (2.54mm), contact configuration (male pin), mounting method (surface mount solder), contact materials and finishes, insulation material (LCP), and environmental ratings (temperature range, flammability, compliance certifications). Packaging format and optional features do not affect functional interchangeability.
