TSM-104-01-TM-SH-A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSM-104-01-TM-SH-A is an active surface mount rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc. This 4-position, right-angle header operates within the -55°C to 105°C temperature range and is designed for board-to-board or cable applications. The connector features phosphor bronze contacts with tin finish, liquid crystal polymer insulation, and push-pull fastening. Equivalent parts are identified to support procurement flexibility, inventory management, and supply chain continuity for applications requiring identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSM-104-01-TM-SH-A 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
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Contact Length - Mating: 0.230" (5.84mm)
• Insulation Height: 0.120" (3.05mm)
• Contact Shape: Square
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Insulation Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 105°C
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The substitute part TSM-104-01-T-SH-A meets all these criteria and is therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the main part number.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TSM-104-01-TM-SH-A and TSM-104-01-T-SH-A are active products from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both connectors are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 material flammability certification, meeting regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications. Selection between these part numbers may be based on inventory availability and procurement lead times, as they are functionally equivalent for all applications requiring a 4-position, 2.54mm pitch surface mount right-angle header with push-pull fastening and phosphor bronze tin-plated contacts.
