Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LSHM-120-L2.5-L-DV-A-S-TR is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Connector Type & Configuration: Self-mating, non-gendered, hermaphroditic design with identical electrical and mechanical interface
  • Position Count & Pitch: 40 positions at 0.020" (0.50mm) pitch in 2-row configuration
  • Mounting & Form Factor: Surface mount with identical height above board (0.156" / 3.96mm) and mated stacking height options
  • Contact System: Gold plating at 10.0µin (0.25µm) thickness ensuring equivalent electrical performance
  • Mechanical Features: Board guide and shielding present in all qualified substitutes
  • Compliance & Environmental: ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating maintained across all substitutes
  • Packaging: Tape & Reel format for automated assembly compatibility

The substitute part LSHM-120-02.5-L-DV-A-S-TR shares identical electrical and mechanical specifications with the main part number, differing only in internal manufacturing designation. Both parts are sourced from Samtec Inc. within the same Razor Beam™ LSHM series and maintain equivalent performance characteristics.
