Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CCM03-3012 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Card Type: SIM, SAM Card (must match exactly)
• Number of Positions: 8 (electrical interface requirement)
• Connector Type: Connector and Ejector (functional requirement)
• Insertion, Removal Method: Hinged Lid (mechanical interface requirement)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, Right Angle (PCB integration requirement)
• Contact Finish: Gold (electrical performance requirement)
• Mounting Feature: Normal, Standard - Top (board-level compatibility)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (environmental handling requirement)

The substitute part CCM03-3012LFT R102 meets all critical substitution criteria. This part represents an active production variant within the same CCM03 MK II series, maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility while offering improved compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CCM03-3012LFT R102 is the direct substitute for the obsolete CCM03-3012. Selection of this substitute part is based on the following engineering factors:

• Full electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence across all critical specifications
• Active production status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain reliability
• ROHS3 compliance provides regulatory advantage over the non-compliant main part
• Identical card type, position count, ejection mechanism, and mounting configuration guarantee PCB-level compatibility
• Cut Tape (CT) packaging supports both prototype and production-volume procurement workflows
• Maintained MSL 1 rating ensures no additional moisture handling requirements

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CCM03-3012LFT R102 be used as a direct replacement for CCM03-3012 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 8-position SIM/SAM card connector, hinged lid ejection, surface mount right-angle mounting, gold contact finish, and board guide features. No PCB redesign is required.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The main differences are product status and regulatory compliance. CCM03-3012LFT R102 is in active production and ROHS3 compliant, while CCM03-3012 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. Electrical and mechanical functionality are identical.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect compatibility?

A: No. Packaging format (Cut Tape) affects procurement and handling only. It does not impact the connector's electrical performance, mechanical fit, or board-level integration.

Q: Are there any height or mounting differences between these connectors?

A: The main part specifies a height above board of 0.106" (2.70mm). The substitute part does not specify this dimension in available data. Both parts use identical surface mount, right-angle mounting with normal, standard-top mounting features. Verify height specifications with the manufacturer if board clearance is a critical design constraint.

Q: What certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: CCM03-3012LFT R102 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both parts carry EAR99 export classification and the same HTSUS code (8536.69.4040).
