Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MMS-108-02-L-DV-M is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle with female socket contacts
• Position Count & Arrangement: 16 positions in 2-row configuration
• Pitch Specifications: 0.079" (2.00mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Mounting Technology: Surface mount solder termination
• Electrical Performance: 3.9A per contact current rating
• Environmental Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating
• Operating Range: -55°C to 125°C temperature specification

The substitute part MMS-108-02-LM-DV-K maintains identical specifications across all these parameters, differing only in fastening mechanism designation within the part number nomenclature while preserving full functional and mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both MMS-108-02-L-DV-M and MMS-108-02-LM-DV-K are active products from Samtec Inc. with full ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Inventory Availability: MMS-108-02-LM-DV-K currently has 908 units in stock versus 868 units for MMS-108-02-L-DV-M
• Supply Chain Requirements: Either part satisfies identical design requirements for 16-position, 2.00mm pitch surface mount receptacle applications
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts meet ROHS3 requirements and carry MSL 1 rating for unlimited moisture exposure

No performance degradation or functional limitation occurs when substituting between these part numbers in applications requiring 3.9A per contact capacity and -55°C to 125°C operating range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are MMS-108-02-L-DV-M and MMS-108-02-LM-DV-K electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors provide identical electrical performance with 3.9A per contact current rating, gold-plated mating contacts, and phosphor bronze contact material. They are fully interchangeable in circuit applications.

Q: What determines compatibility between these connector part numbers?

A: Compatibility is determined by matching connector type (receptacle), position count (16), pitch specification (0.079" / 2.00mm), mounting method (surface mount), and environmental ratings (-55°C to 125°C). Both parts meet these criteria identically.

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

A: Both connectors are rated for -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range. Applications requiring operation outside this range require alternative connector selection.

Q: What is the significance of the part number suffix differences between L-DV-M and LM-DV-K?

A: The suffix variations indicate internal fastening mechanism designations within Samtec's nomenclature system. These differences do not affect electrical performance, mechanical fit, or mating compatibility with corresponding plug connectors.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both MMS-108-02-L-DV-M and MMS-108-02-LM-DV-K are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity) rating.

Q: What is the current handling capacity per contact?

A: Each contact in both connectors is rated for 3.9A maximum current. Total connector capacity depends on the number of loaded positions and application thermal conditions.
