Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSM-116-01-LM-SV-LC is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Connector Type, Contact Type, Number of Positions, Number of Rows, Pitch - Mating, Mounting Type, Termination, Contact Length - Mating, Insulation Height, Contact Shape, Contact Finish - Mating, Contact Finish Thickness - Mating, Contact Finish - Post, Contact Material, Insulation Material, Operating Temperature, Material Flammability Rating, RoHS Status, and Moisture Sensitivity Level.

The identified substitute TSM-116-01-L-SV-LC belongs to the same TSM series and maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. Both parts are manufactured by Samtec Inc., share the same base product number (TSM-116), and carry equivalent certifications and compliance ratings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TSM-116-01-LM-SV-LC and TSM-116-01-L-SV-LC maintain Active product status with identical compliance certifications. Each part carries ROHS3 compliance, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification. Selection between these parts is based on inventory availability and procurement lead time, as all electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications are equivalent. Both parts are suitable for applications requiring surface mount 16-position headers with 2.54mm pitch and operating ranges from -55°C to 125°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if TSM-116-01-L-SV-LC can substitute for TSM-116-01-LM-SV-LC?

A: Substitution is valid when all critical parameters match: connector type, contact type, position count, row configuration, mating pitch, mounting method, termination type, contact dimensions, insulation specifications, contact materials, finishes, operating temperature range, flammability rating, RoHS compliance, and moisture sensitivity level. TSM-116-01-L-SV-LC meets all these criteria.

Q: Are there differences in package or handling between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Tube packaging with identical moisture sensitivity classification (MSL 1 - Unlimited). No special handling differences apply between the two part numbers.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in PCB designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical footprint requirements, mating pitch (2.54mm), contact configuration (16 positions, single row), and surface mount termination. PCB designs do not require modification when substituting between these part numbers.

Q: What is the significance of the part number suffix difference between LM and L?

A: The part number suffix indicates internal Samtec designation variations. Both suffixes represent equivalent products within the TSM series with identical functional and mechanical specifications for this application.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both TSM-116-01-LM-SV-LC and TSM-116-01-L-SV-LC carry ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component applications.
