Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TSM-136-01-SS-DV are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. All substitute parts maintain identical core specifications: 72 positions, 2 rows, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, surface mount configuration, male pin contact type, solder termination, phosphor bronze material, gold-plated mating contacts, and LCP insulation. All substitutes operate within the same temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and maintain ROHS3 compliance.

Substitution differences are limited to optional features and mechanical enhancements that do not alter electrical performance or core mating characteristics:

• Board Guide feature: Provides mechanical alignment during assembly
• Pick and Place feature: Supports automated component placement
• Board Lock feature: Enhances mechanical retention post-mating

The base product number TSM-136 remains constant across all variants, confirming series compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance, confirming ongoing manufacturer support and regulatory alignment. Selection between the TSM-136-01-SS-DV and substitute variants depends on assembly process requirements and mechanical retention specifications:

• TSM-136-01-S-DV and TSM-136-01-SM-DV: Direct electrical equivalents with no additional mechanical features. Suitable for applications requiring standard header functionality without enhanced assembly aids.

• TSM-136-01-S-DV-A: Includes board guide feature for improved mechanical alignment during mating operations.

• TSM-136-01-S-DV-P: Includes pick and place feature for automated assembly line compatibility.

• TSM-136-01-S-DV-A-P: Combines board guide and pick and place features for enhanced assembly process control.

• TSM-136-01-S-DV-LC: Includes board lock feature for increased mechanical retention post-mating.

All parts share identical electrical performance characteristics, temperature ratings, compliance certifications, and contact specifications. Feature selection is driven by manufacturing process capabilities and application mechanical requirements, not electrical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are all substitute parts electrically interchangeable with the TSM-136-01-SS-DV?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications including contact material, finish, pitch, number of positions, rows, operating temperature range, and termination method. Differences are limited to optional mechanical features that do not affect electrical performance.

Q: What is the difference between the various feature designations (A, P, LC, A-P)?

A: Feature designations indicate optional mechanical enhancements: A = Board Guide, P = Pick and Place, LC = Board Lock, A-P = Board Guide plus Pick and Place. These features support specific assembly processes and mechanical retention requirements but do not alter electrical characteristics.

Q: Can I substitute a part with board guide features for one without?

A: Yes, from an electrical standpoint. However, mechanical alignment and assembly process compatibility must be evaluated. Parts with board guide features provide additional mechanical positioning during mating, while base variants offer standard header functionality.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance status, confirming regulatory alignment with the main part.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited)?

A: MSL 1 indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture bake-out requirements. All parts in this comparison carry MSL 1 rating, confirming identical moisture sensitivity handling.

Q: Do feature additions affect the physical footprint or PCB layout?

A: Physical footprint and PCB layout remain consistent across all variants. Feature additions (board guide, pick and place, board lock) are integrated into the connector body without altering mating surface dimensions or pitch specifications.

Q: Which substitute part offers the highest inventory availability?

A: TSM-136-01-S-DV carries the highest current inventory at 1122 pieces, followed by TSM-136-01-S-DV-A at 891 pieces.
