Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—SFC-115-T2-F-D, SFC-115-T2-F-D-A, and SFC-115-T2-F-D-A-K—are active production parts with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on application requirements and feature availability:

SFC-115-T2-F-D is the base configuration without additional mechanical features.

SFC-115-T2-F-D-A includes a board guide feature for enhanced mechanical alignment during mating operations.

SFC-115-T2-F-D-A-K includes both board guide and pick-and-place features, supporting automated assembly processes.

All parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), and identical electrical performance across the specified operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. Part selection should be based on assembly process requirements and mechanical alignment needs rather than electrical performance differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SFC-115-T2-F-D-A be used as a direct replacement for SFC-115-T2-F-D?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, mating pitch, contact ratings, and operating temperature range. The SFC-115-T2-F-D-A includes an additional board guide feature that does not affect electrical compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between SFC-115-T2-F-D-A and SFC-115-T2-F-D-A-K?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The SFC-115-T2-F-D-A-K includes pick-and-place features in addition to the board guide, supporting automated assembly processes. The base SFC-115-T2-F-D-A does not include pick-and-place features.

Q: Are these parts compatible with the same mating connectors?

A: Yes. All three parts are 30-position receptacles with 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch and identical contact geometry. They mate with the same plug connectors within the Tiger Eye™ SFC series.

Q: What is the significance of the board guide feature?

A: The board guide provides mechanical alignment assistance during connector mating, reducing insertion force variation and improving repeatability in manual or semi-automated assembly environments.

Q: Do these parts have different current or voltage ratings?

A: No. All three parts are rated for 3.1A per contact at 350VAC. Electrical performance is identical across all variants.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), suitable for standard storage and handling conditions.

Q: Which part should be selected for high-volume automated assembly?

A: The SFC-115-T2-F-D-A-K is optimized for automated assembly with pick-and-place features. For manual or semi-automated processes, the SFC-115-T2-F-D-A with board guide is appropriate. The base SFC-115-T2-F-D is suitable for applications without specific assembly automation requirements.
