CLP-125-02-G-D-PA-TR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CLP-125-02-G-D-PA-TR is a 50-position receptacle connector manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for board-to-board surface mount applications. This connector features 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch mating with gold-plated female socket contacts rated for 3.3A per contact at 240VAC/330VDC. The part is currently active in production and widely stocked. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure supply chain flexibility, optimize procurement across packaging formats, and maintain design compatibility when the primary part number becomes unavailable.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CLP-125-02-G-D-PA-TR is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Number of positions (50)
• Pitch specification (0.050" / 1.27mm mating pitch)
• Row configuration (2 rows)
• Contact finish (Gold plating)
• Mounting method (Surface Mount)
• Electrical ratings (3.3A per contact, 240VAC/330VDC)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Series designation (CLP)

The primary difference between the main part and its substitute is the packaging format. The CLP-125-02-G-D-PA-TR is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while the substitute CLP-125-02-G-D-PA is supplied in Tray packaging. Both parts are functionally identical and mechanically interchangeable; the distinction is limited to procurement and assembly handling methods.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the CLP-125-02-G-D-PA-TR and CLP-125-02-G-D-PA are active production parts from Samtec Inc. and are fully compliant with ROHS3 and REACH requirements. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement and assembly process requirements:

The CLP-125-02-G-D-PA-TR in Tape & Reel format is optimized for high-volume automated pick-and-place assembly operations. The CLP-125-02-G-D-PA in Tray packaging is suitable for lower-volume production runs or manual assembly workflows. Both parts carry identical electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and environmental certifications. The choice between them does not affect circuit design, PCB layout, or functional performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are CLP-125-02-G-D-PA-TR and CLP-125-02-G-D-PA mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in all mechanical and electrical specifications. The only difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Tray). They occupy the same PCB footprint and perform identically in circuit operation.

Q: Does packaging format affect the connector's electrical performance?

A: No. Packaging format is a supply chain and assembly handling consideration only. Electrical ratings, contact resistance, and signal integrity are unaffected by whether the part is supplied in Tape & Reel or Tray format.

Q: Can I use CLP-125-02-G-D-PA in place of CLP-125-02-G-D-PA-TR in my design?

A: Yes, provided your assembly process can accommodate Tray packaging. The connector itself is functionally equivalent. Verify that your pick-and-place equipment or manual assembly workflow supports Tray-packaged components.

Q: What is the significance of the "-TR" suffix in CLP-125-02-G-D-PA-TR?

A: The "-TR" suffix designates Tape & Reel packaging format, which is standard for automated assembly lines. The base part number CLP-125-02-G-D-PA without the "-TR" suffix indicates Tray packaging.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both CLP-125-02-G-D-PA-TR and CLP-125-02-G-D-PA are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.
