TSM-108-02-SM-SV-LC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSM-108-02-SM-SV-LC is an active surface mount rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc. This 8-position, single-row connector operates at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and features solder termination with push-pull fastening. The connector is designed for board-to-board or cable applications with unshrouded construction and board lock features. Finding equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to ensure design flexibility, manage supply chain continuity, and accommodate component availability across manufacturing cycles.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the TSM-108-02-SM-SV-LC is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Series: TSM series from Samtec Inc.
• Number of Positions: 8 positions
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Termination Method: Solder
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The substitute part TSM-108-02-S-SV-LC meets all these criteria and is therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the main part number.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TSM-108-02-SM-SV-LC and TSM-108-02-S-SV-LC are active products from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and supply chain requirements, as they are fully interchangeable for all applications requiring an 8-position, 2.54mm pitch surface mount connector header with solder termination.
