Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CCM02-2508 is determined by strict alignment with the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Card type classification (Smart Card)
• Position count (10 positions with 8 + 2 configuration)
• Connector type and insertion/removal method (Push In, Pull Out)
• Mounting configuration (Surface Mount, Right Angle)
• Physical height above board (0.246" / 6.25mm)
• Contact finish specification (Gold)
• Functional features (Board Guide, Switch)
• Series compatibility (CCM02 MK II)

The CCM02-2508LFT T30 qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical alignment across all these parameters. The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute is product status and regulatory compliance posture.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CCM02-2508LFT T30 is the direct substitute for the obsolete CCM02-2508. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all functional parameters.

Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

• Product status: The CCM02-2508LFT T30 is active and currently in production, whereas the CCM02-2508 is obsolete.
• Regulatory compliance: The CCM02-2508LFT T30 meets ROHS3 compliance requirements, while the CCM02-2508 is non-compliant. For new designs or applications subject to RoHS regulations, the CCM02-2508LFT T30 is the appropriate selection.
• Supply availability: The CCM02-2508LFT T30 has confirmed inventory of 1126 pieces in stock, supporting immediate procurement.
• Packaging: The CCM02-2508LFT T30 is supplied in tray packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the CCM02-2508 and CCM02-2508LFT T30 electrically and mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical specifications for position count, insertion/removal method, mounting type, height above board, contact finish, and functional features. They are direct substitutes from an electrical and mechanical standpoint.

Q: Why is the CCM02-2508 listed as obsolete?

A: The CCM02-2508 has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The CCM02-2508LFT T30 represents the active production equivalent and should be used for new designs and ongoing procurement.

Q: What is the difference between the CCM02-2508 and CCM02-2508LFT T30?

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete vs. active), RoHS compliance (non-compliant vs. ROHS3 compliant), and packaging format (unspecified vs. tray). All functional and electrical parameters are identical.

Q: Can I use the CCM02-2508LFT T30 as a replacement in existing designs using the CCM02-2508?

A: Yes. The CCM02-2508LFT T30 is a direct substitute with identical form, fit, and function. No design modifications are required.

Q: What does the "LFT T30" designation indicate?

A: The "LFT T30" suffix indicates the specific variant designation and packaging specification (tray) assigned by the manufacturer for this production version of the CCM02 series connector.

Q: Are there any compliance considerations when switching from CCM02-2508 to CCM02-2508LFT T30?

A: The CCM02-2508LFT T30 meets ROHS3 compliance, making it suitable for applications subject to RoHS regulations. The original CCM02-2508 is non-compliant. If your application or market requires RoHS compliance, the CCM02-2508LFT T30 is the required selection.
