Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CLP-120-02-L-D-PA-TR is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain identical:

• Connector type: Receptacle
• Number of positions: 40
• Pitch spacing: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Number of rows: 2
• Row spacing: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Contact finish (mating): Gold
• Current rating: 3.3A per Contact
• Voltage rating: 240VAC, 330VDC
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Insulation material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Contact material: Phosphor Bronze
• Fastening type: Push-Pull
• Termination: Solder

The substitute part CLP-120-02-L-D-PA differs only in packaging format (Tray versus Tape & Reel), which does not affect electrical or mechanical performance in the application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the CLP-120-02-L-D-PA-TR and CLP-120-02-L-D-PA are active production parts manufactured by Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging and supply chain requirements rather than functional performance.

The CLP-120-02-L-D-PA-TR in Tape & Reel packaging is suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly processes. The CLP-120-02-L-D-PA in Tray packaging accommodates manual assembly or alternative handling methods.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and identical regulatory classifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8536.69.4040). Operating temperature range, current and voltage ratings, and all contact specifications are equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CLP-120-02-L-D-PA be used as a direct replacement for CLP-120-02-L-D-PA-TR?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The difference is packaging format: Tape & Reel versus Tray. Selection depends on assembly process requirements and supply chain logistics.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Tray packaging?

A: Tape & Reel packaging (TR) is designed for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Tray packaging is used for manual assembly or alternative handling methods. Both formats contain the same connector with identical specifications.

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

A: No. Both parts have identical electrical ratings (3.3A per contact, 240VAC/330VDC), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), contact materials, finishes, and mechanical dimensions.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both CLP-120-02-L-D-PA-TR and CLP-120-02-L-D-PA are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry the same regulatory classifications.

Q: Which part should I specify for high-volume production?

A: For automated assembly lines, specify CLP-120-02-L-D-PA-TR (Tape & Reel). For manual assembly or lower-volume applications, CLP-120-02-L-D-PA (Tray) may be more appropriate. Consult your assembly process requirements.

Q: Are inventory levels different between these parts?

A: Yes. CLP-120-02-L-D-PA-TR has 852 pieces in stock, while CLP-120-02-L-D-PA has 1172 pieces in stock. Availability may vary based on current demand and supply schedules.
