Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSM-136-01-SM-SV is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Header, Cuttable
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 36
• Number of Rows: 1
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Termination: Solder
• Contact Length - Mating: 0.230" (5.84mm)
• Insulation Height: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Contact Shape: Square
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Contact Finish Thickness - Mating: 30.0µin (0.76µm)
• Contact Finish - Post: Tin
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Insulation Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Insulation Color: Black
• Base Product Number: TSM-136
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

The identified substitute parts TSM-136-01-S-SV and TSM-136-01-S-SV-P meet all mandatory matching parameters and are therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the main part number.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three part numbers—TSM-136-01-SM-SV, TSM-136-01-S-SV, and TSM-136-01-S-SV-P—are active products manufactured by Samtec Inc. and are ROHS3 compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability certification. They are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all specified parameters.

Selection between these parts should be based on:

Inventory Availability: TSM-136-01-S-SV-P offers the highest stock level at 1126 pieces, followed by TSM-136-01-S-SV at 929 pieces, and TSM-136-01-SM-SV at 693 pieces.

Manufacturing Process Capability: TSM-136-01-S-SV-P includes Pick and Place features, which may be advantageous for automated assembly operations. TSM-136-01-SM-SV and TSM-136-01-S-SV do not specify this feature.

Compliance Status: All parts maintain identical compliance certifications and regulatory status, ensuring no additional qualification requirements when substituting between them.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are TSM-136-01-S-SV and TSM-136-01-S-SV-P direct replacements for TSM-136-01-SM-SV?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent to TSM-136-01-SM-SV.
