Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSM-104-02-L-DV-P is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Header, cuttable design with 8 positions in 2 rows
• Pitch Specifications: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing
• Contact Characteristics: Male pin contact type with square contact shape
• Mounting & Termination: Surface mount with solder termination and push-pull fastening
• Environmental Compliance: Operating temperature range of -55°C ~ 125°C, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and ROHS3 compliance
• Material & Finish: Phosphor bronze contacts with gold mating finish (10.0µin thickness) and tin post finish

The substitute part TSM-104-02-LM-DV-P maintains full equivalence across all critical parameters, differing only in internal design designation (LM variant) while preserving all functional and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TSM-104-02-L-DV-P and TSM-104-02-LM-DV-P are active products from Samtec Inc. with full ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these parts should be based on supply chain availability and inventory status. The TSM-104-02-L-DV-P currently maintains 836 pieces in stock, while the TSM-104-02-LM-DV-P has 719 pieces available. Both parts are suitable for applications requiring surface mount rectangular connectors with 0.100" pitch in board-to-board or cable configurations. The identical electrical and mechanical specifications ensure direct interchangeability in PCB designs without requiring layout modifications or re-qualification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are TSM-104-02-L-DV-P and TSM-104-02-LM-DV-P directly interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. They share identical pitch specifications (0.100"), position count (8 positions, 2 rows), contact materials, finishes, operating temperature range, and compliance certifications. The LM variant designation reflects an internal design iteration while maintaining full compatibility.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for this connector series?

A: Substitution is valid when parts maintain identical specifications across mating pitch, number of positions and rows, row spacing, contact type and shape, mounting method, termination type, fastening mechanism, contact materials and finishes, insulation material, operating temperature range, and compliance ratings.

Q: Can these connectors be used in applications requiring different operating temperatures?

A: No. Both parts are rated for -55°C ~ 125°C operation. Applications requiring different temperature ranges require alternative connector models outside this series.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between the substitute parts?

A: No. Both TSM-104-02-L-DV-P and TSM-104-02-LM-DV-P are supplied in tube packaging with identical moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1, Unlimited).

Q: What is the significance of the gold contact finish specification?

A: The 10.0µin (0.25µm) gold mating finish provides corrosion resistance and ensures reliable electrical contact. This specification is identical across both parts and is critical for maintaining contact integrity in board-to-board applications.
