Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSM-108-01-LM-SV-P is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: 8 positions (fixed requirement)
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) (fixed requirement)
• Connector Type: Header, Cuttable (fixed requirement)
• Contact Type: Male Pin (fixed requirement)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (fixed requirement)
• Termination: Solder (fixed requirement)
• Insulation Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) (fixed requirement)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (fixed requirement)
• Series: TSM (fixed requirement)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (fixed requirement)

The substitute part TSM-108-01-L-SV-P meets all critical parameters and is therefore classified as a direct equivalent within the TSM series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TSM-108-01-LM-SV-P and TSM-108-01-L-SV-P are active production parts manufactured by Samtec Inc. within the TSM series. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical electrical, mechanical, and thermal specifications. Selection between these parts may be based on inventory availability, supply chain logistics, or manufacturing lead times, as they are functionally equivalent for all documented applications. Both parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification and UL94 V-0 flammability rating, ensuring compliance with standard industrial and consumer electronics requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TSM-108-01-L-SV-P be used as a direct replacement for TSM-108-01-LM-SV-P?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in all critical parameters including connector type, position count, pitch, contact configuration, mounting method, and operating specifications. They are direct functional equivalents within the TSM series.

Q: Are there any differences in the part numbers that affect compatibility?

A: The part numbers differ only in the designation between "LM" and "L". Both designations refer to the same connector specifications within the TSM-108-01 base product family. The difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch specification?

A: The 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch defines the center-to-center spacing between adjacent contact positions. This specification is identical across both parts and is critical for PCB layout and mating connector compatibility.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for operating temperatures from -55°C to 125°C and are constructed with Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation material rated UL94 V-0, making them suitable for industrial and high-reliability applications within this temperature range.

Q: What is the MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity level. These parts do not require special moisture control during storage, handling, or assembly, and have unlimited shelf life under standard conditions.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both TSM-108-01-LM-SV-P and TSM-108-01-L-SV-P are ROHS3 compliant, meeting the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive requirements for lead-free and restricted substance-free manufacturing.
