Key Parameters

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)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (12)
• Pitch spacing (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Row configuration (2 rows with 0.079" spacing)
• Mounting method (Surface Mount)
• Fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)
• Current rating (4.1A per contact)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• RoHS compliance (ROHS3)

The CLT-106-02-L-D has one manufacturer-recommended substitute: CLT-106-02-G-D. Both parts share identical mechanical and electrical specifications within the CLT series from Samtec Inc.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CLT-106-02-G-D is the direct substitute for the discontinued CLT-106-02-L-D. Both connectors maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications, including pitch spacing, contact configuration, current rating, and operating temperature range.

The primary difference between the two parts is the post contact finish: the CLT-106-02-L-D features tin-plated posts, while the CLT-106-02-G-D features gold-plated posts. Both finishes are compatible with standard solder termination processes.

The CLT-106-02-G-D carries Active product status with current inventory availability, making it the recommended selection for new designs and component replenishment. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical flammability ratings (UL94 V-0), ensuring regulatory continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CLT-106-02-G-D be used as a direct replacement for CLT-106-02-L-D?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical dimensions, electrical ratings, and mating specifications. The CLT-106-02-G-D is the manufacturer-recommended substitute and is mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference between the tin-plated and gold-plated post finishes?

A: The CLT-106-02-L-D uses tin-plated posts, while the CLT-106-02-G-D uses gold-plated posts. Both finishes are compatible with standard solder reflow processes. Gold plating provides enhanced corrosion resistance and contact reliability in high-reliability applications.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: The CLT-106-02-G-D is supplied in Tube packaging. Packaging format does not affect connector functionality or compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the CLT-106-02-L-D and CLT-106-02-G-D are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and rated UL94 V-0 for material flammability. Both maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification.

Q: What is the current rating for these connectors?

A: Both connectors are rated for 4.1A per contact, supporting applications requiring moderate current distribution across the 12-position configuration.

Q: What is the operating temperature range?

A: Both connectors operate across -55°C to 125°C, suitable for industrial and commercial temperature environments.
