Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TSM-104-03-TM-SV are identified based on the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Positions: 4
• Connector Type: Header, Cuttable
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Termination: Solder
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 105°C
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Series: TSM
• Insulation Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze

The identified substitutes TSM-104-03-T-SV and TSM-104-03-T-SV-P maintain all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in fastening type designation and optional features (such as Pick and Place capability in the TSM-104-03-T-SV-P) do not affect core substitution eligibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—TSM-104-03-TM-SV, TSM-104-03-T-SV, and TSM-104-03-T-SV-P—are active production components from Samtec Inc. with identical ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The parts share equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including pitch, position count, contact material, and operating temperature range.

Selection between these parts depends on application-specific requirements and availability. The TSM-104-03-T-SV-P variant includes Pick and Place features, which may be relevant for automated assembly processes. All three parts maintain the same core functionality and regulatory compliance status, making them suitable for direct substitution in applications where the TSM-104 series connector is specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TSM-104-03-T-SV and TSM-104-03-T-SV-P be used interchangeably with TSM-104-03-TM-SV?

A: Yes. All three parts maintain identical pitch (0.100"), position count (4), contact type (Male Pin), mounting type (Surface Mount), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C). They are electrically and mechanically equivalent for board-to-board and cable applications.

Q: What is the difference between TSM-104-03-T-SV and TSM-104-03-T-SV-P?

A: The TSM-104-03-T-SV-P includes Pick and Place features for automated assembly compatibility. Both parts are otherwise identical in electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. TSM-104-03-TM-SV, TSM-104-03-T-SV, and TSM-104-03-T-SV-P are all ROHS3 compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these connectors?

A: All three parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Can these connectors be used in high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. All parts operate across the temperature range -55°C ~ 105°C, suitable for industrial and commercial applications within this range.

Q: Are the contact materials the same across all substitute parts?

A: Yes. All parts use Phosphor Bronze contacts with Tin finish on both mating and post surfaces.
