Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SFC-106-T2-L-D is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Number of positions (12)
• Pitch specification (0.050" / 1.27mm mating pitch)
• Row configuration (2 rows at 0.050" spacing)
• Mounting technology (Surface Mount)
• Contact finish (Gold plating)
• Electrical ratings (3.1A per contact, 350VAC)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Material compliance (ROHS3)

The substitute part SFC-106-T2-L-D-K maintains identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications while differing only in assembly-related features (Pick and Place capability). Both parts share the same base product number (SFC-106) and are sourced from the same manufacturer.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SFC-106-T2-L-D and SFC-106-T2-L-D-K are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on assembly process requirements. The SFC-106-T2-L-D-K includes Pick and Place features, making it suitable for automated assembly environments. Both parts maintain full compatibility with mating connectors designed for the Tiger Eye™ SFC series 0.050" pitch receptacle configuration. Current inventory levels support both options for procurement planning.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SFC-106-T2-L-D-K be used as a direct replacement for SFC-106-T2-L-D?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all critical parameters including contact count, pitch, current rating, voltage rating, and operating temperature range. The difference lies in assembly features, not functional performance.

Q: What does the "-K" suffix indicate in the part number?

A: The "-K" suffix designates Pick and Place capability, which is an assembly-related feature. This does not affect the connector's electrical or mechanical performance in the application.

Q: Are these connectors compatible with other Tiger Eye™ SFC series parts?

A: Compatibility is determined by matching pitch (0.050"), position count (12), and row configuration (2 rows). Both parts conform to these specifications and are compatible with mating connectors designed for this configuration.

Q: What is the significance of the gold contact finish specification?

A: The 10.0µin (0.25µm) gold plating on mating contacts ensures reliable low-resistance connections and corrosion resistance. This specification is identical across both parts.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in tube packaging. Packaging format does not affect connector functionality or interchangeability.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both SFC-106-T2-L-D and SFC-106-T2-L-D-K are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity), indicating no special moisture handling requirements during storage or assembly.
