Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSM-104-01-S-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 Length - Mating: 0.230" (5.84mm)
• Insulation Height: 0.120" (3.05mm)
• 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

The TSM-104-01-S-SH-A qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The addition of a board guide feature in the substitute part does not alter core mating or electrical characteristics and represents an enhancement to mechanical stability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TSM-104-01-S-SH and TSM-104-01-S-SH-A maintain Active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these parts depends on mechanical design requirements. The TSM-104-01-S-SH-A includes a board guide feature that enhances mechanical alignment during assembly and mating operations. For applications requiring additional mechanical stability or precision alignment, the TSM-104-01-S-SH-A is the appropriate selection. For applications where board guide functionality is not required, either part satisfies the electrical and thermal specifications. Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification, indicating no special storage or handling requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are TSM-104-01-S-SH and TSM-104-01-S-SH-A electrically interchangeable?
