Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TSM-108-01-LM-SV are identified within the TSM series based on identical core electrical and mechanical parameters. All substitute parts maintain the following critical specifications:

• 8-position, single-row configuration
• 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• Surface mount termination with solder connection
• Male pin contact type with phosphor bronze material
• Gold-plated mating contacts at 10.0µin (0.25µm) thickness
• Liquid Crystal Polymer insulation material
• Operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• ROHS3 compliance

Substitution differences are limited to optional features (Board Lock, Pick and Place capability) that do not affect core connector functionality or mating compatibility. All substitute parts share the same base product number TSM-108 and are manufactured by Samtec Inc.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the TSM-108-01-LM-SV. Selection between the main part and substitutes depends on application-specific requirements:

TSM-108-01-L-SV is the direct functional equivalent with no additional features, offering the highest inventory availability at 2775 units.

TSM-108-01-L-SV-LC includes Board Lock functionality for applications requiring enhanced mechanical retention during mating cycles.

TSM-108-01-L-SV-LC-P combines Board Lock with Pick and Place features, suitable for automated assembly processes requiring component handling optimization.

TSM-108-01-L-SV-P provides Pick and Place capability for automated placement applications without Board Lock functionality.

All parts are ROHS3 compliant, UL94 V-0 rated, and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification. Selection should be based on assembly process requirements and feature necessity rather than electrical performance, as all parts are functionally equivalent in mating and electrical characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are all substitute parts electrically compatible with the TSM-108-01-LM-SV?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications including contact material, finish, mating pitch, and operating temperature range. Mating compatibility is guaranteed across all listed parts.

Q: What is the difference between Board Lock and Pick and Place features?

A: Board Lock provides mechanical retention to prevent accidental unmating during operation. Pick and Place refers to design features that facilitate automated component placement during manufacturing. These are optional features that do not affect electrical performance or basic mating compatibility.

Q: Can I use TSM-108-01-L-SV-LC-P as a direct replacement for TSM-108-01-LM-SV?

A: Yes. TSM-108-01-L-SV-LC-P is mechanically and electrically compatible. The additional Board Lock and Pick and Place features do not prevent use in applications designed for the base TSM-108-01-LM-SV configuration.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. All parts share identical RoHS3 compliance status, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, MSL 1 classification, and ECCN/HTSUS codes.

Q: Which substitute part should I select for highest inventory availability?

A: TSM-108-01-L-SV offers the highest stock level at 2775 units, followed by TSM-108-01-L-SV-LC at 1246 units.

Q: Do these parts require different PCB footprints?

A: No. All parts share identical mechanical dimensions, mating pitch, and mounting specifications. PCB footprints are interchangeable.
