Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SFC-125-T2-LM-D-A is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Position Count: Receptacle configuration with 50 positions
• Pitch & Row Configuration: 0.050" (1.27mm) mating pitch with 2-row layout and 0.050" row spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Surface mount with solder termination
• Electrical Performance: 3.1A per contact current rating and 350VAC voltage rating
• Contact Material & Finish: Gold-plated mating surface on phosphor bronze contacts
• Environmental Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating

The substitute part SFC-125-T2-L-D-A meets all these criteria, differing only in the fastening mechanism designation within the same Tiger Eye™ SFC series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SFC-125-T2-LM-D-A and SFC-125-T2-L-D-A are active production parts with full ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Availability: SFC-125-T2-L-D-A currently has 960 units in stock versus 945 units for the SFC-125-T2-LM-D-A
• Product Status: Both parts maintain active status with no planned obsolescence
• Compliance: Both meet ROHS3 requirements and carry MSL 1 rating, suitable for unlimited shelf life storage

No performance degradation or functional compromise occurs when substituting between these parts within the same application context.
