TSM-117-01-SM-DV Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSM-117-01-SM-DV is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for surface mount applications. This 34-position, 2-row connector with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch is classified as a cuttable header for board-to-board or cable interconnection. The part is Active in product status with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Substitute parts are identified to address specific application requirements including board guidance, pick-and-place compatibility, and board lock features while maintaining core electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of TSM-117 series rectangular connectors is determined by strict equivalence in core electrical and mechanical parameters: connector type (header, cuttable), contact type (male pin), position count (34), row configuration (2 rows), mating pitch (0.100"), row spacing (0.100"), mounting method (surface mount), termination type (solder), contact material (phosphor bronze), contact finish specifications (gold mating, tin post), insulation material (LCP), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, UL94 V-0).

Substitute parts identified in this reference maintain all core parameters. Variations are limited to optional features: Board Guide (feature designation "A"), Pick and Place capability (feature designation "P"), and Board Lock (feature designation "LC"). The main part TSM-117-01-SM-DV differs from substitute variants only in the absence of these optional features. All substitute parts share identical electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and regulatory compliance with the main part.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Selection between TSM-117-01-SM-DV and substitute variants depends on application-specific feature requirements:

For applications requiring board guidance during assembly, select TSM-117-01-S-DV-A or TSM-117-01-S-DV-A-P.

For applications requiring board lock retention, select TSM-117-01-S-DV-LC or TSM-117-01-S-DV-LC-P.

For automated pick-and-place assembly processes, select any variant with the "-P" designation: TSM-117-01-S-DV-A-P, TSM-117-01-S-DV-LC-P, or TSM-117-01-S-DV-P.

For applications with no specific feature requirements, TSM-117-01-SM-DV, TSM-117-01-S-DV, or TSM-117-01-SM-DV-LC are functionally equivalent. All parts share identical electrical performance, mechanical dimensions, contact specifications, and regulatory certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TSM-117-01-S-DV be used as a direct replacement for TSM-117-01-SM-DV?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. They share identical position count (34), pitch (2.54mm), row configuration, contact specifications, operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and compliance certifications. No design modification is required.

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

A: Board Guide (designation "A") provides alignment assistance during connector mating. Board Lock (designation "LC") provides mechanical retention after mating. These are distinct features; a part cannot have both simultaneously.

Q: Are Pick and Place variants compatible with standard reflow assembly?

A: Yes. Pick and Place variants (designation "-P") are designed for automated assembly equipment but are fully compatible with standard solder reflow processes. The feature designation indicates assembly process optimization, not a restriction on assembly method.

Q: Can I substitute a part with Board Lock for one without?

A: Substitution is possible only if the application does not require board lock retention. If board lock is specified in the design, only variants with the "-LC" designation (TSM-117-01-S-DV-LC or TSM-117-01-S-DV-LC-P) are appropriate.

Q: Do all substitute parts have the same moisture sensitivity level?

A: Yes. All listed parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture precautions are required during storage or handling.

Q: What is the difference between TSM-117-01-SM-DV and TSM-117-01-S-DV?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent with no electrical or mechanical differences. The designation difference reflects internal Samtec product line organization but does not affect performance or compatibility.
