CLM-108-02-F-D-TR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CLM-108-02-F-D-TR is a 16-position receptacle connector manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for board-to-board surface mount applications. This connector features a 0.039" (1.00mm) pitch with gold-plated mating contacts and operates across a wide temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The product maintains Active status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Alternative components may be required due to inventory constraints, application-specific performance requirements, or supply chain considerations.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CLM-108-02-F-D-TR is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Connector Configuration: 16-position receptacle with 2-row arrangement
Pitch Specification: 0.039" (1.00mm) mating pitch and row spacing
Mounting Technology: Surface mount termination with solder connection
Contact Interface: Female socket with gold mating finish
Insulation Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) construction
Fastening Mechanism: Push-pull engagement system
Compliance Framework: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS3 compliance

The BC085-16-A-0390-L-C from GCT meets these core substitution criteria, maintaining identical connector configuration, pitch specifications, mounting type, contact type, insulation material, fastening type, and regulatory compliance status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the CLM-108-02-F-D-TR and BC085-16-A-0390-L-C maintain Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these components should be based on application-specific requirements that fall outside the core substitution parameters.

The CLM-108-02-F-D-TR provides extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and higher current rating (2.8A per contact), making it suitable for applications requiring broader thermal performance or higher current capacity. The BC085-16-A-0390-L-C operates within -40°C to 105°C with 1A per contact rating and includes pick-and-place features for manufacturing optimization.

Mechanical compatibility is confirmed through identical pitch, row spacing, mounting type, and connector configuration. Electrical compatibility is established through matching contact type, fastening mechanism, and mating finish material.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BC085-16-A-0390-L-C directly replace CLM-108-02-F-D-TR in all applications?

A: Direct substitution is mechanically and electrically compatible based on matching pitch (0.039"), connector configuration (16-position, 2-row), mounting type (surface mount), contact type (female socket), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). However, application-specific requirements regarding operating temperature range, current capacity, and post-contact finish must be evaluated independently.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are operating temperature range (CLM-108-02-F-D-TR: -55°C to 125°C versus BC085-16-A-0390-L-C: -40°C to 105°C), current rating per contact (2.8A versus 1A), insulation height (0.084" versus 0.089"), contact finish on posts (tin versus gold), and voltage rating specification (BC085-16-A-0390-L-C rated 250VAC/DC).

Q: Are both connectors RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, both CLM-108-02-F-D-TR and BC085-16-A-0390-L-C are ROHS3 compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Q: What is the significance of the 0.039" (1.00mm) pitch specification?

A: The 0.039" pitch defines the center-to-center distance between adjacent contacts and is a critical parameter for mechanical and electrical compatibility. Both connectors maintain this identical pitch specification, ensuring proper mating with corresponding plug connectors.

Q: Does the BC085-16-A-0390-L-C support pick-and-place assembly?

A: Yes, the BC085-16-A-0390-L-C includes pick-and-place features for automated assembly processes. This specification is not provided for the CLM-108-02-F-D-TR.
