Engineering Selection Recommendations
All three part numbers—TSM-112-01-LM-SH, TSM-112-01-L-SH, and TSM-112-01-L-SH-LC—maintain Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts depends on application-specific requirements:
TSM-112-01-LM-SH and TSM-112-01-L-SH are functionally equivalent with no distinguishing features. Either part is suitable for standard board-to-board or cable connection applications requiring 12-position 2.54mm pitch headers.
TSM-112-01-L-SH-LC includes Board Lock functionality, which provides mechanical retention enhancement. This variant is appropriate for applications requiring additional mating security or vibration resistance.
All parts are certified to UL94 V-0 flammability standards and operate across the full industrial temperature range. Moisture sensitivity level MSL 1 indicates unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Are TSM-112-01-LM-SH, TSM-112-01-L-SH, and TSM-112-01-L-SH-LC electrically interchangeable?
A: Yes. All three parts share identical electrical specifications including 12 positions, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, gold-plated mating contacts, and phosphor bronze contact material. They operate across the same temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and meet identical compliance standards.
Q: What is the difference between TSM-112-01-L-SH and TSM-112-01-L-SH-LC?
A: The TSM-112-01-L-SH-LC includes Board Lock functionality. This feature provides mechanical retention at the mating interface. The TSM-112-01-L-SH does not include this feature. Both parts are otherwise identical in electrical and mechanical specifications.
Q: Can I use TSM-112-01-L-SH-LC as a direct replacement for TSM-112-01-LM-SH?
A: Yes, from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. The Board Lock feature on the TSM-112-01-L-SH-LC is an enhancement that does not prevent compatibility. However, verify that your mating connector design accommodates the Board Lock mechanism if present.
Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?
A: Yes. All three parts—TSM-112-01-LM-SH, TSM-112-01-L-SH, and TSM-112-01-L-SH-LC—are ROHS3 compliant.
Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?
A: All three parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1, which indicates unlimited shelf life. No special moisture control measures are required during storage or handling.
Q: Do these connectors require any special handling or storage conditions?
A: No. With MSL 1 rating, these connectors do not require controlled humidity storage or baking procedures prior to assembly.
