TSM-105-01-TM-SH-A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSM-105-01-TM-SH-A is an active surface mount rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc. This 5-position, right-angle header operates across -55°C to 105°C and features phosphor bronze contacts with tin finish, housed in liquid crystal polymer insulation. The connector utilizes 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch mating and solder termination with push-pull fastening. Equivalent parts are identified to support procurement flexibility, inventory management, and supply chain continuity for applications requiring identical electrical and mechanical interface specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSM-105-01-TM-SH-A is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header), contact type (Male Pin), and mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Position count (5) and row configuration (1 row)
• Mounting method (Surface Mount, Right Angle) and termination type (Solder)
• Contact material (Phosphor Bronze) and finish specifications (Tin on both mating and post surfaces)
• Insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer) and physical dimensions (0.120" insulation height, square contact shape)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C), flammability rating (UL94 V-0), and compliance certifications (ROHS3)

The substitute part TSM-105-01-T-SH-A meets all these criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent within the TSM series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TSM-105-01-TM-SH-A and TSM-105-01-T-SH-A are active products from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification, meeting regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications. Selection between these equivalents may be based on inventory availability, lead time, or procurement source preferences, as they are functionally interchangeable for all applications requiring a 5-position, 0.100" pitch surface mount right-angle header connector with solder termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are TSM-105-01-TM-SH-A and TSM-105-01-T-SH-A fully interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical specifications across all critical parameters: 5-position configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch, surface mount right-angle mounting, phosphor bronze contacts with tin finish, liquid crystal polymer insulation, and operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. They are direct equivalents within the TSM series.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for this connector header?

A: Substitution is valid only when the alternative part maintains identical values for connector type, contact type, position count, row configuration, mating pitch, mounting method, termination type, contact material and finish, insulation material, physical dimensions, operating temperature range, and compliance certifications (ROHS3, UL94 V-0).

Q: Can I use these connectors in high-temperature applications?

A: Both parts are rated for operating temperatures from -55°C to 105°C. Applications requiring operation outside this range require alternative connector specifications.

Q: Are moisture sensitivity considerations the same for both parts?

A: Yes. Both TSM-105-01-TM-SH-A and TSM-105-01-T-SH-A carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The part numbers differ only in the fourth position character (TM versus T). Both parts are functionally equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical characteristics, specifications, and compliance certifications.
