TSM-107-02-LM-DH Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSM-107-02-LM-DH is an active surface mount rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc. This connector is a right-angle board-to-board or cable connector with 14 positions arranged in 2 rows at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. The part is designed for solder termination with push-pull fastening and operates across the industrial temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to support procurement flexibility, inventory management, and design continuity when the primary part number becomes unavailable or when alternative sourcing is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TSM-107-02-LM-DH are identified based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions and row configuration (14 positions, 2 rows)
• Mating pitch and row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting type (Surface Mount, Right Angle)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Fastening type (Push-Pull)
• Contact finish specification (Gold mating surface)
• Insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Compliance certifications (ROHS3, UL94 V-0)

The substitute part TSM-107-02-L-DH shares all these critical parameters with the main part number, differing only in the internal designation suffix. Both parts belong to the TSM series from Samtec Inc. and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TSM-107-02-LM-DH and TSM-107-02-L-DH are active products from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on availability and procurement requirements rather than technical differentiation.

The TSM-107-02-L-DH currently maintains higher inventory availability (1030 pcs) compared to the TSM-107-02-LM-DH (682 pcs), making it a viable alternative for immediate procurement needs.

Both parts meet ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability requirements, suitable for applications requiring environmental and safety certifications. The MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) indicates no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are TSM-107-02-LM-DH and TSM-107-02-L-DH electrically and mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical specifications across all critical parameters including connector type, position count, pitch, mounting configuration, contact materials, and operating temperature range. They are direct functional equivalents.

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

A: The difference lies only in the internal designation suffix (LM versus L). This does not affect electrical performance, mechanical fit, or compatibility. Both parts are manufactured by Samtec Inc. within the TSM series.

Q: Can I substitute TSM-107-02-L-DH for TSM-107-02-LM-DH in existing designs?

A: Yes. The substitute part maintains identical mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), row spacing, contact configuration, and termination method. PCB footprints and mating connector compatibility remain unchanged.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts carry identical ROHS3 compliance status and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) is the same for both.

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

A: Both parts operate across -55°C to 125°C, suitable for industrial and extended temperature applications.

Q: Are these parts suitable for high-reliability applications?

A: Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and ROHS3 compliance. The gold-plated mating contacts (10.0µin / 0.25µm thickness) and phosphor bronze contact material support reliable long-term performance. MSL 1 rating indicates no moisture sensitivity constraints.
