Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

All substitute parts for TSM-105-02-TM-SH maintain identical core electrical and mechanical parameters: 5-position, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, surface mount right-angle header configuration with male pins, phosphor bronze contacts with tin finish, and liquid crystal polymer insulation. All substitutes operate within the same temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), carry ROHS3 compliance, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Substitution logic is determined by the following allowed parameters:

• Fastening Type: Push-Pull (all parts)
• Contact Length - Mating: 0.320" (8.13mm) (all parts)
• Insulation Height: 0.120" (3.05mm) (all parts)
• Contact Shape: Square (all parts)
• Style: Board to Board or Cable (all parts)
• Shrouding: Unshrouded (all parts)
• Packaging: Tube (all parts)
• Product Status: Active (all parts)

Variations among substitute parts are limited to optional Features: Board Lock and Pick and Place capabilities. These features do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility and represent design enhancements for specific manufacturing or assembly requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain Active product status and full ROHS3 compliance with identical UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection among substitutes should be based on assembly process requirements:

• TSM-105-02-T-SH and TSM-105-02-TM-SH are suitable for standard assembly processes without board lock or automated pick-and-place requirements.
• TSM-105-02-T-SH-P and TSM-105-02-T-SH-LC-P include Pick and Place features for automated assembly compatibility.
• TSM-105-02-T-SH-LC and TSM-105-02-T-SH-LC-K include Board Lock features for enhanced mechanical retention during mating operations.

All parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable within the TSM-105 series for applications requiring 5-position, 2.54mm pitch surface mount right-angle headers with phosphor bronze contacts and liquid crystal polymer insulation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are all TSM-105-02 variants electrically identical?

A: Yes. All variants maintain identical electrical specifications: 5-position configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch, phosphor bronze contacts with tin finish, and liquid crystal polymer insulation. Variations are limited to mechanical features (Board Lock) and assembly enhancements (Pick and Place).

Q: What is the difference between Board Lock and standard variants?

A: Board Lock variants (TSM-105-02-T-SH-LC, TSM-105-02-T-SH-LC-P, TSM-105-02-T-SH-LC-K) include mechanical retention features that secure the connector to the mating component. Standard variants (TSM-105-02-TM-SH, TSM-105-02-T-SH) do not include this feature. Selection depends on application requirements for mechanical stability.

Q: What does Pick and Place compatibility mean?

A: Pick and Place variants (TSM-105-02-T-SH-P, TSM-105-02-T-SH-LC-P, TSM-105-02-T-SH-LC-K) are optimized for automated assembly equipment. These parts include design features that facilitate robotic component placement during manufacturing. Standard variants can be assembled manually or with compatible automated systems.

Q: Can I substitute TSM-105-02-TM-SH with TSM-105-02-T-SH-LC?

A: Yes. Both parts are mechanically and electrically compatible within the TSM-105 series. The primary difference is the addition of Board Lock features in the TSM-105-02-T-SH-LC variant. Substitution is valid for applications where Board Lock functionality is either required or not detrimental to the design.

Q: Are all variants ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All TSM-105-02 variants listed carry ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) is 1 (Unlimited) for all parts.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: All TSM-105-02 variants operate across -55°C to 105°C. This range is consistent across all substitutes and does not vary by part number or feature configuration.
