Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution within the TSM-112-02-S-DV family is determined by feature variants applied to the base connector configuration. All substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across the following critical parameters: 24-position count, 2-row configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and row spacing, surface mount termination, male pin contact type, square contact geometry, gold-plated mating surfaces with 30.0µin thickness, phosphor bronze contact material, and LCP insulation rated UL94 V-0.

Substitution logic is based on the following feature designations appended to the base part number TSM-112-02-S-DV:

• -A: Board Guide feature
• -P: Pick and Place feature
• -LC: Board Lock feature
• -A-P: Board Guide and Pick and Place features combined
• -LC-P: Board Lock and Pick and Place features combined

These feature variants do not alter connector pitch, position count, contact materials, finish specifications, temperature rating, or compliance certifications. Selection among substitutes depends on assembly process requirements and mechanical retention needs.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts within the TSM-112-02-S-DV family maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Selection among variants is determined by assembly and mechanical retention requirements:

TSM-112-02-S-DV (Base Configuration): Standard connector without additional features. Suitable for applications where board guidance or locking mechanisms are not required.

TSM-112-02-S-DV-A (Board Guide): Includes board guide feature for improved alignment during assembly. Select when mechanical alignment assistance is beneficial but automated pick-and-place equipment is not used.

TSM-112-02-S-DV-P (Pick and Place): Includes pick-and-place feature for compatibility with automated assembly equipment. Select for high-volume manufacturing processes utilizing robotic placement systems.

TSM-112-02-S-DV-A-P (Board Guide + Pick and Place): Combines board guide and pick-and-place features. Select for automated assembly processes requiring both mechanical alignment and robotic handling compatibility.

TSM-112-02-S-DV-LC (Board Lock): Includes board lock feature for mechanical retention after mating. Select when connector retention without additional fastening is required.

TSM-112-02-S-DV-LC-P (Board Lock + Pick and Place): Combines board lock and pick-and-place features. Select for automated assembly processes requiring both mechanical retention and robotic placement compatibility.

All variants are electrically and mechanically interchangeable within the TSM-112 series and maintain identical contact performance, temperature ratings, and compliance certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are all TSM-112-02-S-DV variants electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. All variants maintain identical electrical specifications including contact material (phosphor bronze), contact finish (gold-plated mating surfaces, tin-plated posts), pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (24), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). Feature differences are mechanical only.

Q: What is the difference between Board Guide and Board Lock features?

A: Board Guide (-A) provides alignment assistance during connector mating. Board Lock (-LC) provides mechanical retention after mating to prevent accidental disconnection. These are distinct mechanical functions and are not interchangeable.

Q: Can I substitute a part with Pick and Place feature (-P) for one without it?

A: Yes, from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. However, the pick-and-place feature is designed for automated assembly equipment compatibility. If your assembly process does not use automated placement, the feature provides no functional benefit but does not create incompatibility.

Q: Are all variants packaged identically?

A: Yes. All variants are supplied in Tube packaging as specified for the TSM-112 series.

Q: Do feature variants affect the connector's temperature rating or compliance certifications?

A: No. All variants operate across -55°C to 125°C and maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and ROHS3 compliance regardless of feature configuration.

Q: Which variant should I select for a new design?

A: Selection depends on assembly process requirements. For manual assembly without mechanical retention needs, the base TSM-112-02-S-DV is appropriate. For automated assembly, select a variant with the -P designation. For applications requiring mechanical retention, select a variant with the -LC designation. Combine features as needed for your specific manufacturing process.
