CLT-106-02-L-D Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CLT-106-02-L-D is a 12-position dual-row receptacle connector manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for board-to-board surface mount applications with 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch spacing. This connector features female socket contacts with gold mating finish and tin post finish, operating across -55°C to 125°C with a current rating of 4.1A per contact. The product maintains Active status and is ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating. Alternative models are identified to support supply chain flexibility and specific application requirements where contact finish specifications differ.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CLT-106-02-L-D is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle), number of positions (12), row configuration (2 rows), mating pitch (0.079" / 2.00mm), row spacing (0.079" / 2.00mm), mounting type (surface mount), contact type (female socket), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), current rating (4.1A per contact), material flammability (UL94 V-0), and regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected). The identified substitute CLT-106-02-G-D maintains all these parameters. The primary distinction between the main part and substitute lies in the contact finish specifications: the CLT-106-02-L-D features tin post finish, while the CLT-106-02-G-D features gold post finish with specified thickness of 3.00µin (0.076µm). Both parts share identical mating contact finish (gold, 10.0µin / 0.25µm), insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer), contact shape (square), and contact material (phosphor bronze).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both CLT-106-02-L-D and CLT-106-02-G-D maintain Active product status with identical ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected certification. Selection between these parts is determined by post-contact finish requirements. The CLT-106-02-L-D features tin post finish, while the CLT-106-02-G-D features gold post finish. Both configurations support equivalent electrical performance, thermal range, and current capacity. Component selection should be based on specific application requirements regarding post-contact material compatibility and soldering process specifications. Both parts are available in production quantities with established supply chain presence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are CLT-106-02-L-D and CLT-106-02-G-D mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical dimensions, pitch spacing (0.079" / 2.00mm), row configuration (2 rows, 12 positions), mounting type (surface mount), and insulation height (0.083" / 2.10mm). They are mechanically interchangeable in board-to-board applications.

Q: What is the functional difference between these two parts?

A: The primary difference is the contact post finish. CLT-106-02-L-D uses tin post finish, while CLT-106-02-G-D uses gold post finish (3.00µin / 0.076µm thickness). Both maintain identical gold mating contact finish (10.0µin / 0.25µm). This distinction may affect soldering characteristics and long-term contact reliability depending on application environment.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both CLT-106-02-L-D and CLT-106-02-G-D are ROHS3 compliant, REACH Unaffected, and carry UL94 V-0 material flammability rating. Both maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level.

Q: What is the current rating for these connectors?

A: Both parts are rated for 4.1A per contact across the full operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Q: Can these connectors be used in high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both CLT-106-02-L-D and CLT-106-02-G-D are rated for continuous operation up to 125°C and can withstand temperatures as low as -55°C, supporting aerospace, industrial, and automotive applications within these thermal limits.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in tube packaging. Inventory availability may vary; verify current stock levels with your supplier for specific procurement timelines.
