Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CLM-103-02-L-D-TR is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

• 6-position receptacle configuration with 2-row layout
• 0.039" (1.00mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Surface mount solder termination
• Female socket contact type with push-pull fastening
• Gold-plated mating contacts
• Liquid Crystal Polymer insulation material
• Board-to-board connector style

The BC085-06-A-0390-L-C meets these core mechanical and electrical criteria, establishing it as a valid substitute within the rectangular connector category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the CLM-103-02-L-D-TR and BC085-06-A-0390-L-C are ROHS3 compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity levels. The CLM-103-02-L-D-TR supports higher current capacity (2.8A per contact) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), while the BC085-06-A-0390-L-C operates within -40°C to 105°C with 1A per contact rating and includes pick-and-place features for automated assembly. Selection between these parts depends on application-specific requirements for current handling, temperature extremes, and assembly methodology. Both maintain identical mechanical pitch, row spacing, and contact configuration for direct PCB layout compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BC085-06-A-0390-L-C replace CLM-103-02-L-D-TR in all applications?

A: Substitution is valid for applications within the BC085's operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C) and current requirements (1A per contact maximum). Applications requiring the CLM-103's extended temperature range or higher current capacity require the original part.

Q: Are the physical footprints identical?

A: Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.039"), row spacing (0.039"), and 6-position 2-row configuration. Insulation height differs slightly (CLM-103: 0.084", BC085: 0.089"), which may affect vertical clearance in constrained designs.

Q: What is the difference in contact current ratings?

A: The CLM-103-02-L-D-TR is rated for 2.8A per contact, while the BC085-06-A-0390-L-C is rated for 1A per contact. Applications exceeding 1A per contact require the CLM-103 part.

Q: Are both parts suitable for automated assembly?

A: The BC085-06-A-0390-L-C includes pick-and-place features for automated assembly. The CLM-103-02-L-D-TR specifications do not explicitly list automated assembly features.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, UL94 V-0 rated, and carry MSL 1 moisture sensitivity levels. Both are EAR99 classified with identical HTSUS codes.
