TSM-105-01-S-SH-A-P Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSM-105-01-S-SH-A-P is a surface mount, right-angle rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc. This 5-position connector operates at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and is designed for board-to-board or cable applications. The part is currently active in production and widely available in inventory. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to support supply chain flexibility, manage lead times, and ensure design continuity across manufacturing cycles.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSM-105-01-S-SH-A-P is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

• Connector Type: Header (with or without breakaway feature)
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Positions: 5
• Number of Rows: 1
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Insulation Material: LCP or equivalent thermoplastic polymer
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The GEC05SBSN-M89 manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions meets all critical substitution criteria. Both parts share identical mating pitch, position count, mounting configuration, and termination method. Both are RoHS3 compliant and UL94 V-0 rated. Differences in contact finish material and insulation polymer do not preclude functional substitution in standard board-to-board applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TSM-105-01-S-SH-A-P and GEC05SBSN-M89 are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The GEC05SBSN-M89 offers an extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 150°C versus -55°C to 125°C) and includes a breakaway feature, providing additional design flexibility. The Sullins part uses tin contact finish and polyamide insulation material instead of gold finish and LCP, which are acceptable substitutions for standard board-to-board connector applications. Selection between these parts should be based on specific application temperature requirements, inventory availability, and lead time considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the GEC05SBSN-M89 be used as a direct replacement for the TSM-105-01-S-SH-A-P?

A: Yes, for standard board-to-board applications. Both parts share identical mating pitch (2.54mm), position count (5), mounting configuration (surface mount right-angle), and termination method (solder). Both are RoHS3 compliant and UL94 V-0 rated. The primary differences are contact finish material (tin versus gold) and insulation polymer (polyamide versus LCP), which do not affect functional compatibility in typical applications.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The TSM-105-01-S-SH-A-P features gold-plated mating contacts and LCP insulation with an operating range of -55°C to 125°C. The GEC05SBSN-M89 uses tin-plated contacts, polyamide insulation, and supports a wider operating range of -65°C to 150°C. The Sullins part also includes a breakaway feature. Insulation height differs slightly (0.120" versus 0.140").

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, UL94 V-0 rated, MSL 1, and share the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classification (8536.69.4040).

Q: What is the breakaway feature on the GEC05SBSN-M89?

A: The breakaway feature allows individual pins to be separated from the header strip after assembly, providing design flexibility for applications requiring partial connector configurations. This feature does not affect compatibility with standard mating connectors.

Q: Which part should I select for high-temperature applications?

A: The GEC05SBSN-M89 supports operating temperatures up to 150°C, compared to 125°C for the TSM-105-01-S-SH-A-P. For applications exceeding 125°C, the Sullins part is the appropriate choice.

Q: Are packaging differences significant?

A: The TSM-105-01-S-SH-A-P is supplied in tube packaging, while the GEC05SBSN-M89 is supplied in bulk packaging. This affects handling and storage but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.
