Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CLP-116-02-L-D-P is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

• Connector type: Receptacle
• Number of positions: 32
• Pitch - mating: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Number of rows: 2
• Row spacing - mating: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Contact finish - mating: Gold
• Current rating: 3.3A per Contact
• Voltage rating: 240VAC, 330VDC
• Operating temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Insulation material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Contact material: Phosphor Bronze
• RoHS status: ROHS3 Compliant

The identified substitute part CLP-116-02-L-D differs only in packaging format (Bulk versus Tube) and minor insulation height specification (0.090" versus 0.084"), which do not affect electrical performance or functional compatibility in board-to-board applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both CLP-116-02-L-D-P and CLP-116-02-L-D are active production parts manufactured by Samtec Inc. with identical electrical specifications, compliance certifications, and functional performance. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging requirements and supply chain considerations rather than technical performance.

The CLP-116-02-L-D-P in Tube packaging is suitable for applications requiring individual unit handling or smaller quantity orders. The CLP-116-02-L-D in Bulk packaging is appropriate for high-volume manufacturing environments with automated assembly processes.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), ensuring compatibility with standard PCB assembly and reflow processes across the full operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CLP-116-02-L-D be used as a direct replacement for CLP-116-02-L-D-P?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and functionally equivalent. The difference is packaging format: CLP-116-02-L-D-P uses Tube packaging while CLP-116-02-L-D uses Bulk packaging. Connector performance, pin configuration, and electrical ratings are identical.

Q: What is the difference in insulation height between these parts?

A: CLP-116-02-L-D-P has an insulation height of 0.084" (2.14mm), while CLP-116-02-L-D has 0.090" (2.29mm). This minor variation does not affect electrical performance or board-to-board mating compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both CLP-116-02-L-D-P and CLP-116-02-L-D are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: Which packaging option should I select for my application?

A: Tube packaging (CLP-116-02-L-D-P) is standard for lower-volume orders and manual handling. Bulk packaging (CLP-116-02-L-D) is optimized for high-volume automated assembly lines. Select based on your manufacturing process and order quantity requirements.

Q: Do these connectors support the same current and voltage ratings?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 3.3A per contact and 240VAC/330VDC, with identical operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.
