CLM-105-02-G-D-PA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CLM-105-02-G-D-PA is a 10 position receptacle connector manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for board-to-board surface mount applications. This connector features 0.039" (1.00mm) pitch mating contacts with gold plating and operates across -55°C to 125°C. The part maintains Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, making it suitable for high-reliability electronic assemblies. Identifying equivalent substitute parts ensures design flexibility, supply chain continuity, and manufacturing optimization when the primary packaging configuration is unavailable.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the CLM-105-02-G-D-PA are determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary substitution criterion is packaging configuration, which does not affect connector functionality, performance, or electrical characteristics.

The CLM-105-02-G-D-PA-TR substitute maintains identical specifications across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type, contact type, and style (Receptacle, Female Socket, Board to Board)
• Position count and pitch geometry (10 positions, 0.039" mating pitch, 2 rows, 0.039" row spacing)
• Surface mount termination and solder attachment method
• Contact material, finish, and thickness (Phosphor Bronze, Gold plating, 10.0µin mating / 3.00µin post)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Current rating (2.8A per Contact)
• Compliance certifications (UL94 V-0, ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, MSL 1)

The only difference between these parts is packaging: CLM-105-02-G-D-PA ships in Tray format, while CLM-105-02-G-D-PA-TR ships in Tape & Reel format. Both are manufactured by Samtec Inc. under the CLM series and share the same base product number CLM-105.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both CLM-105-02-G-D-PA and CLM-105-02-G-D-PA-TR are Active status products with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on manufacturing and assembly requirements:

CLM-105-02-G-D-PA (Tray packaging) is suitable for manual assembly, low-volume production, or applications where individual component handling is required.

CLM-105-02-G-D-PA-TR (Tape & Reel packaging) is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly and high-volume manufacturing operations. This packaging format integrates with standard surface mount assembly equipment and reduces component handling time.

Both parts maintain full compliance with RoHS3, REACH, and UL94 V-0 flammability standards. MSL 1 rating indicates unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions. Current inventory levels support both packaging variants, with 1065 units available in Tray format and 908 units in Tape & Reel format.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CLM-105-02-G-D-PA and CLM-105-02-G-D-PA-TR be used interchangeably in the same circuit design?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. They differ only in packaging format. Once assembled onto a PCB, the connectors perform identically across all operating conditions and specifications.

Q: What is the difference between Tray and Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Tray packaging presents components in a flat tray format suitable for manual pick-and-place or low-volume assembly. Tape & Reel packaging winds components on a continuous tape with carrier film, designed for automated assembly equipment. The connector itself is identical in both formats.

Q: Which packaging format should I specify for high-volume production?

A: Tape & Reel (CLM-105-02-G-D-PA-TR) is the standard format for automated surface mount assembly. This packaging integrates with pick-and-place machinery and reduces assembly labor costs at production scale.

Q: Are there any performance differences between the two packaging options?

A: No. Electrical performance, current rating (2.8A per Contact), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), and all mechanical specifications are identical. Packaging format does not affect connector functionality.

Q: What is the MSL rating, and does it apply to both packaging formats?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity. These connectors can be stored indefinitely under standard conditions without requiring desiccant or special humidity control.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. CLM-105-02-G-D-PA and CLM-105-02-G-D-PA-TR are both ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic components.
