Engineering Selection Recommendations

TSM-108-01-SM-DV-P (Samtec Inc.) This part is a direct equivalent to the TSM-108-01-S-DV-P with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both are active products with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these two Samtec variants depends on specific design requirements related to the cuttable versus standard header configuration. Both support pick-and-place assembly.

5-146130-7 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) This part meets all primary matching criteria and is currently active in production with the highest inventory availability (5536 units). It is ROHS3 compliant with vendor-undefined REACH status. The insulation height is 0.090" compared to 0.100" for the main part. This part includes specified current (3A) and voltage (30VAC) ratings. The breakaway connector type differs from the cuttable configuration of the main part.

GBC08DABN-M30 (Sullins Connector Solutions) This part matches all primary electrical and mechanical parameters and is active with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. It features an extended operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 150°C) compared to the main part (-55°C ~ 125°C). The insulation material is polyamide (PA9T) nylon 9T rather than LCP. Contact finish thickness on the mating surface is reduced to 10.0µin. The breakaway connector type and bulk packaging differ from the main part.

146130-7 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) This part is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant with REACH affected status. It is not recommended for new designs. The contact finish post uses tin-lead rather than tin. This part should be avoided in favor of the active 5-146130-7 variant.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TSM-108-01-SM-DV-P be used as a direct replacement for TSM-108-01-S-DV-P? A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Samtec Inc. with identical pitch (0.100"), position count (16), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (surface mount), termination (solder), and contact specifications. The primary difference is the connector type designation (cuttable vs. standard header), which does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between the Samtec TSM series and the TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod II series? A: Both series meet the primary matching criteria for 16-position, 2.54mm pitch surface mount headers. The Samtec TSM series uses phosphor bronze contacts with LCP insulation and offers cuttable configurations. The TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod II series (146130-7 and 5-146130-7) uses copper alloy contacts with LCP insulation and offers breakaway configurations. The 5-146130-7 is active and ROHS3 compliant, while the 146130-7 is obsolete.

Q: Can GBC08DABN-M30 be used in applications requiring the full -55°C ~ 125°C operating range? A: GBC08DABN-M30 supports an extended operating temperature range of -65°C ~ 150°C, which exceeds the -55°C ~ 125°C requirement of the main part. It is suitable for applications within this range. However, the insulation material differs (polyamide PA9T nylon 9T versus LCP), which may affect performance in specific environmental conditions.

Q: What is the significance of the insulation height difference between 0.100" and 0.090"? A: Insulation height affects the overall connector profile and mating interface geometry. The main part TSM-108-01-S-DV-P and GBC08DABN-M30 have 0.100" insulation height, while 146130-7 and 5-146130-7 have 0.090" insulation height. This difference may impact PCB layout and mating connector compatibility. Verify mating connector specifications before substitution.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant? A: No. The 146130-7 is RoHS non-compliant and obsolete. The TSM-108-01-SM-DV-P, 5-146130-7, and GBC08DABN-M30 are all ROHS3 compliant. For new designs, use only ROHS3 compliant parts.

Q: What is the difference between bulk and tube packaging? A: The main part TSM-108-01-S-DV-P and most substitutes are supplied in tube packaging. GBC08DABN-M30 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging affects handling, storage, and automated assembly processes. Verify packaging compatibility with your assembly equipment and supply chain requirements.

Q: Can 146130-7 be used as a substitute? A: No. The 146130-7 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. Use the active 5-146130-7 variant instead, which meets current compliance requirements and is in active production.
