TSM-121-01-F-DH-A-001

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The TSM-121-01-F-DH-A-001 is a .100" (2.54 mm) pitch surface mount terminal strip from the Samtec TSM series. It features a double row configuration with 21 positions per row, totaling 42 contacts. The connector utilizes .025" square post terminals with gold plating on the mating interface and tin plating on the termination side. Designed for right-angle surface mount installation, it employs a push-pull locking mechanism to secure the connection. The housing is constructed from black liquid crystal polymer (LCP), rated UL 94 V-0, ensuring stability in high-density board-to-board or cable applications.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Features .025 inch square post terminals designed for high-mating-cycle durability and extended life performance.
• Incorporates a push-pull locking system to ensure secure retention during surface mount assembly and operation.
• Utilizes liquid crystal polymer insulation for dimensional stability and compliance with UL 94 V-0 flammability standards.

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• High-density board-to-board interconnections requiring robust mechanical retention
• Surface mount assemblies demanding high mating cycle reliability
• Automotive A-Series product configurations

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix -001 against the official Samtec catalog to confirm exact pin count and termination style. Ensure compatibility with mating socket specifications regarding contact length and height. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements prior to procurement to align with manufacturing processes.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a right-angle surface mount header with push-pull locking is required. The .100 inch pitch suits general-purpose interconnects, while the .025 inch square posts offer superior durability compared to standard pins. Consider the LCP material properties for thermal management and the gold plating for signal integrity in high-performance environments.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the TSM series of flexible stacking solutions by Samtec. These terminal strips are engineered for severe environment testing and meet or exceed MIL-DTL-55302 standards. The series offers various row options and mounting styles to support complex multi-layer PCB architectures and high-speed data transmission protocols.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the TSM family include variations in row count or termination style, such as TSM-121-01-L-DH-A. Verify that any alternative maintains the same .100 inch pitch, .025 inch post diameter, and push-pull locking mechanism to ensure mechanical and electrical interchangeability.
