CLP-102-02-G-D-TR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CLP-102-02-G-D-TR is a 4-position receptacle connector manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for board-to-board surface mount applications. This connector features 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch mating contacts with gold plating, rated for 3.3A per contact at 240VAC/330VDC. The part is currently active in production with full inventory availability. Substitute parts are identified to address packaging format requirements or inventory constraints while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between CLP-102-02-G-D-TR and CLP-102-02-G-D is determined by the following critical parameters that remain identical across both parts:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Number of positions (4)
• Pitch and row spacing (0.050" / 1.27mm)
• Mounting type (Surface Mount)
• Contact finish and material (Gold-plated Phosphor Bronze)
• Current and voltage ratings (3.3A per contact, 240VAC/330VDC)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Flammability and compliance ratings (UL94 V-0, ROHS3 Compliant)

The primary difference between these parts is packaging format: CLP-102-02-G-D-TR is supplied in Tape & Reel format, while CLP-102-02-G-D is supplied in Bulk packaging. Both parts share the same base product number (CLP-102) and are manufactured to identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both CLP-102-02-G-D-TR and CLP-102-02-G-D are active production parts manufactured by Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging and procurement requirements:

• CLP-102-02-G-D-TR (Tape & Reel): Suitable for automated assembly processes requiring tape-and-reel format delivery. Recommended for high-volume production environments with pick-and-place equipment.

• CLP-102-02-G-D (Bulk): Suitable for manual assembly, prototyping, or applications where bulk packaging is preferred. Recommended for lower-volume production or laboratory environments.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The minor variation in insulation height (0.084" vs. 0.090") does not affect functional compatibility in board-to-board applications. Part selection should be based on assembly process requirements and packaging format availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CLP-102-02-G-D be used as a direct replacement for CLP-102-02-G-D-TR?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format: Tape & Reel versus Bulk. Direct substitution is valid provided the receiving assembly process can accommodate the bulk packaging format.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts have identical current ratings (3.3A per contact), voltage ratings (240VAC/330VDC), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), and contact finish specifications (10.0µin gold plating on mating surfaces).

Q: What is the significance of the insulation height difference?

A: The insulation height variation (0.084" for TR versus 0.090" for Bulk) is within normal manufacturing tolerance and does not affect functional compatibility in board-to-board connector applications. Both heights accommodate standard PCB spacing requirements.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both CLP-102-02-G-D-TR and CLP-102-02-G-D are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification.

Q: Which part should be selected for automated assembly?

A: CLP-102-02-G-D-TR (Tape & Reel format) is designed for automated pick-and-place assembly processes. CLP-102-02-G-D (Bulk format) is suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume applications.

Q: Is there a lead time difference between these parts?

A: Both parts are active production items with current inventory availability. Selection should be based on packaging format requirements rather than lead time considerations.
