Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution within the TSM-106-01 connector family is determined by electrical and mechanical compatibility across core parameters: connector type, contact type, number of positions, pitch, row spacing, mounting type, termination method, contact materials, insulation material, and operating temperature range. All substitute parts listed maintain identical specifications for these critical parameters.

Substitute parts differ only in optional features that do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility:

Board Lock Feature: TSM-106-01-S-DV-LC and TSM-106-01-S-DV-LC-P include board lock mechanisms for enhanced mating stability
Pick and Place Feature: TSM-106-01-S-DV-P, TSM-106-01-SM-DV-P, and TSM-106-01-S-DV-LC-P include pick-and-place compatibility for automated assembly
Shroud Configuration: TSM-106-01-SM-DV and TSM-106-01-SM-DV-P feature shrouded designs compared to unshrouded variants

All parts are ROHS3 compliant, MSL 1 rated, and maintain the same operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts are active products with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility. Selection among equivalent parts should be based on assembly process requirements:

For manual assembly or applications without automated pick-and-place requirements, TSM-106-01-S-DV or TSM-106-01-SM-DV provide baseline functionality with highest inventory availability (1423 and 783 units respectively)
For automated assembly processes, select parts with Pick and Place designation: TSM-106-01-S-DV-P (1168 units), TSM-106-01-SM-DV-P (792 units), or TSM-106-01-S-DV-LC-P (952 units)
For applications requiring enhanced mating stability, TSM-106-01-S-DV-LC (1144 units) or TSM-106-01-S-DV-LC-P (952 units) with board lock features are suitable alternatives

All parts maintain identical electrical performance, contact materials, insulation specifications, and operating temperature range, ensuring direct functional interchangeability within the specified parameter set.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are all TSM-106-01 variants electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. All listed parts share identical electrical specifications including contact material (Phosphor Bronze), contact finish (Gold mating surface, Tin post), pitch (2.54mm), number of positions (12), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). Differences in board lock and pick-and-place features do not affect electrical performance.

Q: What is the difference between shrouded (SM) and unshrouded (S) variants?

A: The TSM-106-01-SM series includes shrouding, while TSM-106-01-S series are unshrouded. Both maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Shrouding selection depends on PCB layout and mechanical protection requirements.

Q: Can I substitute a part with board lock (LC) for one without?

A: Yes, from a functional standpoint. Board lock variants (TSM-106-01-S-DV-LC, TSM-106-01-S-DV-LC-P) provide additional mechanical retention during mating but do not alter electrical compatibility. Verify PCB footprint compatibility before substitution.

Q: Which variant should I select for automated assembly?

A: Parts designated with "-P" suffix (Pick and Place) are optimized for automated assembly equipment. Options include TSM-106-01-S-DV-P, TSM-106-01-SM-DV-P, and TSM-106-01-S-DV-LC-P.

Q: Are all parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the "-SS-DV" designation in the main part number?

A: The "-SS-DV" suffix indicates specific configuration parameters within the TSM-106-01 family. Substitute parts with different suffixes (such as "-S-DV", "-SM-DV", "-S-DV-LC", "-S-DV-P") represent alternative configurations that maintain core electrical and mechanical compatibility while offering different feature sets.
