Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TSM-112-02-LM-SH are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching within the TSM series. All substitute parts maintain identical specifications for the following critical parameters:

• Number of positions: 12
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Connector type: Header with male pin contacts
• Mounting type: Surface mount, right angle
• Contact length - Mating: 0.320" (8.13mm)
• Insulation height: 0.120" (3.05mm)
• Contact finish - Mating: Gold
• Contact material: Phosphor bronze
• Insulation material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Operating temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

Substitute parts differ only in optional features (Pick and Place capability, Board Lock feature) or minor packaging variations, which do not affect core electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are all substitute parts electrically identical to the TSM-112-02-LM-SH?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications including contact material (phosphor bronze), contact finish (gold plating at 10.0µin thickness), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer). Differences are limited to optional assembly features or mechanical enhancements that do not affect electrical performance.

Q: What is the difference between TSM-112-02-L-SH and TSM-112-02-L-SH-K?

A: TSM-112-02-L-SH-K includes Pick and Place capability, which is an assembly feature that does not alter the connector's electrical or mechanical interface. The core connector specifications remain identical.

Q: Can TSM-112-02-L-SH-LC be used as a direct replacement?

A: Yes. TSM-112-02-L-SH-LC is a direct replacement. The Board Lock feature provides enhanced mechanical retention during mating but does not affect electrical compatibility or physical interface dimensions. All critical parameters including pitch, position count, contact length, and insulation height are identical.

Q: Are there any temperature or environmental differences between these parts?

A: No. All parts operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and carry the same UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for automated assembly?

A: TSM-112-02-L-SH-K and TSM-112-02-L-SH-P both include Pick and Place capability. Selection between these two depends on whether Board Lock functionality is required; if not, either part is suitable for automated assembly processes.

Q: Are all parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All parts listed are ROHS3 Compliant and carry Active product status from Samtec Inc.
