Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CLP-108-02-G-D-PA-TR is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Number of positions (16)
• Pitch spacing (0.050" / 1.27mm)
• Row configuration (2 rows at 0.050" spacing)
• Mounting method (Surface Mount)
• Contact finish (Gold)
• Electrical ratings (3.3A per contact, 240VAC / 330VDC)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Compliance certifications (ROHS3, UL94 V-0)

The primary difference between the main part and its substitute is packaging format: Tape & Reel (TR) versus Tray. This distinction affects only procurement and handling logistics, not electrical or mechanical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both CLP-108-02-G-D-PA-TR and CLP-108-02-G-D-PA are active production parts manufactured by Samtec Inc. with identical electrical, mechanical, and compliance specifications. Selection between these parts is based on packaging requirements and supply chain considerations:

• CLP-108-02-G-D-PA-TR (Tape & Reel): Suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly operations with high-volume production runs.
• CLP-108-02-G-D-PA (Tray): Suitable for manual assembly, lower-volume applications, or when tape-and-reel packaging is not required.

Both parts meet ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. Electrical performance, thermal ratings, and contact specifications are identical across both packaging formats.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CLP-108-02-G-D-PA (Tray) be used as a direct replacement for CLP-108-02-G-D-PA-TR (Tape & Reel)?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format. Substitution is valid for any application where the connector specifications match the design requirements.

Q: Does packaging format affect connector performance or reliability?

A: No. Packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Tray) affects only procurement, storage, and assembly handling. Electrical performance, contact integrity, and operating characteristics are identical.

Q: What are the key parameters that must match for substitution eligibility?

A: Critical parameters include connector type (Receptacle), position count (16), pitch spacing (0.050"), row configuration (2 rows), mounting method (Surface Mount), contact finish (Gold), current rating (3.3A per contact), voltage rating (240VAC / 330VDC), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C).

Q: Are both parts currently available?

A: Yes. CLP-108-02-G-D-PA-TR has 735 units in stock, and CLP-108-02-G-D-PA has 1150 units in stock.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, UL94 V-0 rated, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification.
