Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the HPF-03-02-TM-S are identified based on strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Number of Positions: 3
• Pitch - Mating: 0.200" (5.08mm)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Contact Material: Beryllium Copper
• Contact Finish - Mating: Tin
• Contact Finish - Post: Tin
• Insulation Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Insulation Color: Black
• Insulation Height: 0.351" (8.92mm)
• Contact Shape: Square
• Series: HPF
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The HPF-03-02-T-S meets all these criteria and is therefore classified as a direct substitute for the HPF-03-02-TM-S.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the HPF-03-02-TM-S and HPF-03-02-T-S maintain Active product status and are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating. Selection between these parts is based on inventory availability and supply chain considerations. The HPF-03-02-T-S currently maintains higher inventory levels (911 Pcs) compared to the HPF-03-02-TM-S (773 Pcs), making it suitable for applications where supply continuity is a priority. Both parts satisfy identical electrical and mechanical requirements for 3-position, 0.200" pitch board-to-board receptacle applications with push-pull fastening.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are HPF-03-02-TM-S and HPF-03-02-T-S electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical electrical specifications including contact material (beryllium copper), contact finish (tin), and mating pitch (0.200"). They are functionally equivalent for circuit applications.

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

A: The HPF-03-02-TM-S and HPF-03-02-T-S are variants within the HPF series that maintain identical mechanical and electrical parameters. Differences, if any, are limited to packaging or internal manufacturing specifications not detailed in the provided parameters.

Q: Can I substitute HPF-03-02-T-S for HPF-03-02-TM-S in existing designs?

A: Yes. The parts are direct substitutes based on matching connector type, contact configuration, pitch, mounting method, termination, and all material specifications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both HPF-03-02-TM-S and HPF-03-02-T-S are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating, suitable for standard PCB assembly processes.

Q: What is the mating pitch for these connectors?

A: The mating pitch is 0.200" (5.08mm) for both parts, determining compatibility with corresponding plug connectors in the HPF series.

Q: What surface mount footprint should be used?

A: Both connectors are surface mount solder termination types with 3 positions at 0.200" pitch. PCB footprint design should reference the HPF series specifications for solder pad layout and spacing.
