Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for TSM-104-01-SM-SV is determined by the following core parameters that must remain constant across all equivalent parts:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Positions: 4
• Number of Rows: 1
• Connector Type: Header, Cuttable
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Contact Length - Mating: 0.230" (5.84mm)
• Insulation Height: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Contact Shape: Square
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Contact Finish Thickness - Mating: 30.0µin (0.76µm)
• Contact Finish - Post: Tin
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Insulation Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts are active products manufactured by Samtec Inc. and maintain full compliance with ROHS3 and UL94 V-0 flammability standards. Selection between TSM-104-01-SM-SV and its substitutes depends on application-specific requirements:

TSM-104-01-S-SV: Standard configuration with highest current inventory (4909 units). Suitable for applications requiring baseline 4-position, 2.54mm pitch surface mount header functionality.

TSM-104-01-S-SV-LC: Includes Board Lock feature. Select this variant for applications requiring enhanced mechanical retention and reduced risk of accidental disconnection.

TSM-104-01-S-SV-P: Includes Pick and Place feature. Select this variant for high-volume automated assembly processes requiring optimized component handling during manufacturing.

All parts share identical electrical characteristics, thermal performance, and regulatory compliance. Part selection should be based on manufacturing process requirements and mechanical retention needs specific to the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are all substitute parts electrically interchangeable with TSM-104-01-SM-SV?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain identical pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (4), contact geometry, material composition, and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). Electrical performance is equivalent across all variants.

Q: What is the difference between TSM-104-01-S-SV and TSM-104-01-S-SV-LC?

A: The primary difference is the Board Lock feature present in TSM-104-01-S-SV-LC. This feature provides mechanical locking to prevent accidental disconnection. All other electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical.

Q: When should I select TSM-104-01-S-SV-P over other variants?

A: Select TSM-104-01-S-SV-P when your manufacturing process uses automated pick-and-place equipment. The Pick and Place feature optimizes component handling during high-volume assembly. Electrical and mechanical compatibility with other variants is maintained.

Q: Do all parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. All parts are ROHS3 compliant, UL94 V-0 rated, and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level. Regulatory compliance is identical across all variants.

Q: Can I use these parts interchangeably on the same PCB?

A: Yes, provided your PCB footprint and assembly process accommodate the specific features of each variant. The Board Lock feature in TSM-104-01-S-SV-LC and Pick and Place feature in TSM-104-01-S-SV-P do not affect PCB pad layout or electrical connectivity.

Q: What is the base product number for all these parts?

A: The base product number is TSM-104. All listed variants are derived from this base platform with configuration-specific suffixes.
