TSM-126-02-L-DV-TR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSM-126-02-L-DV-TR is an active surface mount rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc. This 52-position, 2-row connector operates across -55°C to 125°C and features gold-plated mating contacts with phosphor bronze material. The part is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging and maintains ROHS3 compliance with UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Substitute parts become necessary when tape and reel packaging is unavailable, when cut tape format better suits assembly requirements, or when inventory constraints require alternative packaging configurations while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSM-126-02-L-DV-TR is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Number of positions (52), number of rows (2), mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), connector type (Header, Cuttable), contact type (Male Pin), mounting type (Surface Mount), termination method (Solder), contact finish specification (Gold at 10.0µin / 0.25µm), contact material (Phosphor Bronze), insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), and flammability rating (UL94 V-0).

The primary variable distinguishing substitute parts is packaging format. The TSM-126-02-L-DV-TR is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration. Equivalent parts maintain identical connector specifications while differing only in packaging delivery method, such as Cut Tape (CT) format.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TSM-126-02-L-DV-TR and TSM-126-02-L-DV-P-TR maintain active product status with identical compliance certifications. Selection between these parts depends on assembly process requirements and packaging format availability.

The TSM-126-02-L-DV-TR in Tape & Reel format is optimized for high-volume automated pick-and-place assembly operations. The TSM-126-02-L-DV-P-TR in Cut Tape format accommodates lower-volume production runs, manual assembly processes, or situations where tape and reel inventory is constrained.

Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. Moisture sensitivity level 1 indicates unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions for both variants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TSM-126-02-L-DV-P-TR replace TSM-126-02-L-DV-TR in production?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The difference is packaging format only. TSM-126-02-L-DV-P-TR uses Cut Tape packaging while TSM-126-02-L-DV-TR uses Tape & Reel. Selection depends on assembly equipment capability and production volume requirements.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging?

A: Tape & Reel packaging supplies components on a continuous reel optimized for automated high-speed pick-and-place equipment. Cut Tape packaging supplies the same components on tape segments, suitable for lower-volume assembly or manual handling.

Q: Are the connector specifications identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical specifications: 52 positions, 2 rows, 0.100" pitch, gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts, surface mount termination, and -55°C to 125°C operating range.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both TSM-126-02-L-DV-TR and TSM-126-02-L-DV-P-TR are ROHS3 compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level.

Q: Which part should I specify for my design?

A: Specify based on your assembly process. Use TSM-126-02-L-DV-TR for automated high-volume production with tape-and-reel capable equipment. Use TSM-126-02-L-DV-P-TR for lower-volume production, manual assembly, or when cut tape format better suits your supply chain.
