TSM-116-01-TM-SV Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSM-116-01-TM-SV is a surface mount rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for board-to-board or cable applications. This 16-position, single-row connector operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 105°C and features a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch with tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts on liquid crystal polymer insulation. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching core electrical and mechanical parameters while accommodating specific feature variations and manufacturing options.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TSM-116-01-TM-SV are qualified based on identical core parameters: 16-position, single-row configuration; 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch; surface mount termination; male pin contact type; phosphor bronze material with tin plating; liquid crystal polymer insulation; and operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. All substitute parts maintain the same base product number (TSM-116), product status (Active), RoHS3 compliance, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and MSL 1 classification.

Substitution variations are determined by the presence or absence of optional features:

• Board Lock feature: TSM-116-01-T-SV-LC and TSM-116-01-T-SV-LC-P include board lock functionality; TSM-116-01-TM-SV, TSM-116-01-T-SV, and TSM-116-01-T-SV-P do not.
• Pick and Place feature: TSM-116-01-T-SV-LC-P and TSM-116-01-T-SV-P include pick and place capability; other variants do not.

All parts are packaged in tubes and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for mating interface, contact geometry, and environmental performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All five parts maintain identical core electrical and mechanical specifications and are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring a 16-position, 0.100" pitch surface mount header connector. Selection among these parts depends on application-specific requirements for optional features:

TSM-116-01-TM-SV (base configuration): Select when no additional features are required and standard board-to-board or cable connection is sufficient.

TSM-116-01-T-SV (standard variant): Functionally equivalent to the main part with identical specifications and no additional features.

TSM-116-01-T-SV-LC (board lock variant): Select when mechanical retention through board lock feature is required to prevent accidental disconnection during assembly or operation.

TSM-116-01-T-SV-P (pick and place variant): Select when automated assembly processes require pick and place compatibility for manufacturing efficiency.

TSM-116-01-T-SV-LC-P (board lock + pick and place): Select when both mechanical retention and automated assembly capability are required.

All parts are Active products with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification, meeting standard industrial and commercial application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TSM-116-01-T-SV be used as a direct replacement for TSM-116-01-TM-SV?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications including 16 positions, 0.100" pitch, surface mount termination, phosphor bronze tin-plated contacts, and operating temperature range. The parts are functionally interchangeable for standard applications.

Q: What is the difference between the board lock (LC) and pick and place (P) variants?

A: Board lock (LC) adds mechanical retention to prevent accidental disconnection. Pick and place (P) adds features for automated assembly compatibility. These are optional enhancements to the base connector design and do not affect electrical or mating interface specifications.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All five parts listed maintain ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating, meeting regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications.

Q: Can I mix variants in the same application?

A: Yes, provided the mating connector is compatible with the specific variant's features. All variants maintain identical 16-position, 0.100" pitch mating interface geometry and contact specifications.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: All parts are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or assembly.

Q: Are there inventory considerations for part selection?

A: Current inventory levels vary by variant. TSM-116-01-T-SV-LC-P has the highest inventory (1104 pcs), while TSM-116-01-T-SV-P has the lowest (690 pcs). Availability should be confirmed for production scheduling.
