Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the CLP-120-02-G-D-PA is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Receptacle, 40-position, 2-row layout
• Electrical Specifications: 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch, 3.3A per contact, 240VAC/330VDC rating
• Physical Interface: Surface mount solder termination, push-pull fastening, gold-plated female socket contacts
• Environmental Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, ROHS3 compliance, operating range -55°C to 125°C
• Material Composition: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation, phosphor bronze contacts with specified gold plating thickness

The identified substitute differs only in packaging configuration, maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both CLP-120-02-G-D-PA and CLP-120-02-G-D-PA-TR are active products from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications. The distinction between these parts is packaging format only: tray packaging versus cut tape packaging. Selection between these equivalents depends on manufacturing process requirements and assembly line compatibility rather than functional performance.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and carry identical certifications, flammability ratings, and environmental operating parameters. The choice between tray and cut tape packaging should be based on pick-and-place equipment capabilities and production volume requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are CLP-120-02-G-D-PA and CLP-120-02-G-D-PA-TR electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts are functionally equivalent with identical electrical ratings (3.3A per contact, 240VAC/330VDC), mechanical configuration (40-position, 0.050" pitch, 2-row layout), and environmental specifications (-55°C to 125°C operating range, UL94 V-0 rating).

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The only difference is packaging. CLP-120-02-G-D-PA is supplied in tray packaging, while CLP-120-02-G-D-PA-TR is supplied in cut tape packaging. The connector itself is identical.

Q: Can I use cut tape packaging in place of tray packaging on my assembly line?

A: Compatibility depends on your pick-and-place equipment. Verify that your automated assembly system supports cut tape feeding before substituting packaging formats.

Q: Do both parts have the same compliance certifications?

A: Yes. Both CLP-120-02-G-D-PA and CLP-120-02-G-D-PA-TR are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry identical UL94 V-0 flammability ratings.

Q: Are there inventory differences between these parts?

A: Yes. CLP-120-02-G-D-PA (tray) has 766 pieces in stock, while CLP-120-02-G-D-PA-TR (cut tape) has 1658 pieces in stock. Availability may influence packaging selection for supply chain optimization.
