TSM-112-02-T-SH Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSM-112-02-T-SH is a surface mount rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc. in the TSM series. This 12-position, right-angle header operates across the industrial temperature range of -55°C to 105°C and meets UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. The part is Active status and ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for applications requiring board-to-board or cable interconnection with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when design requirements permit variations in optional features such as board lock mechanisms or pick-and-place compatibility, while maintaining identical core electrical and mechanical specifications.

The three substitute parts (TSM-112-02-T-SH-LC, TSM-112-02-T-SH-P, TSM-112-02-T-SH-LC-K) maintain all core parameters while introducing optional mechanical features for enhanced assembly or retention capabilities.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four parts in this substitution group maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment. Selection between the TSM-112-02-T-SH and its substitutes depends on assembly and retention requirements:

TSM-112-02-T-SH (Base Configuration): Select when standard push-pull fastening without additional mechanical retention is sufficient for the application.

TSM-112-02-T-SH-LC (Board Lock Feature): Select when mechanical retention through board lock is required to prevent accidental disconnection during handling or vibration exposure.

TSM-112-02-T-SH-P (Pick and Place Feature): Select when automated assembly processes require pick-and-place compatibility for manufacturing efficiency.

TSM-112-02-T-SH-LC-K (Board Lock + Pick and Place): Select when both mechanical retention and automated assembly capability are required.

All parts share identical electrical and thermal specifications, contact materials, and flammability ratings, ensuring functional interchangeability within the specified operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. The TSM-112-02-T-SH-LC maintains all core electrical and mechanical parameters. The addition of a board lock feature does not affect mating compatibility or electrical performance. Physical footprint and pin configuration remain identical.

Q: What is the difference between the "-P" and "-LC-K" variants?

A: TSM-112-02-T-SH-P includes pick-and-place capability for automated assembly. TSM-112-02-T-SH-LC-K combines both board lock retention and pick-and-place features. Both maintain identical core specifications.

Q: Are all four parts compatible with the same mating connector?

A: Yes. All parts share identical pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), contact type (male pin), number of positions (12), and contact geometry. Mating compatibility is preserved across all variants.

Q: Do the substitute parts have different temperature ratings?

A: No. All parts operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 105°C with UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Q: Which variant should be selected for high-reliability applications?

A: For applications requiring vibration resistance or prevention of accidental disconnection, TSM-112-02-T-SH-LC or TSM-112-02-T-SH-LC-K with board lock features are appropriate. All variants meet ROHS3 compliance and Active product status requirements.

Q: Is there a lead time difference between these parts?

A: Current inventory levels vary: TSM-112-02-T-SH (1147 pcs), TSM-112-02-T-SH-LC (919 pcs), TSM-112-02-T-SH-P (869 pcs), and TSM-112-02-T-SH-LC-K (922 pcs). Availability should be confirmed with the supplier for specific procurement timelines.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB?

A: Yes, provided the PCB layout accommodates the optional features (board lock or pick-and-place tabs). The core footprint and solder pad configuration remain consistent across all variants.
