Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SFM-105-T1-L-S has one identified substitute within the Tiger Eye™ SFM series: SFM-105-01-L-S. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain identical:

• Number of positions: 5
• Pitch - Mating: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Connector type: Receptacle
• Contact type: Female Socket
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Contact finish - Mating: Gold
• Current rating: 3.2A per Contact
• Voltage rating: 250VAC
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Insulation material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Contact material: Beryllium Copper

The substitute part maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility with the main part across all critical functional parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SFM-105-T1-L-S and SFM-105-01-L-S are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 material flammability certification. Both parts are manufactured by Samtec Inc. and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts may be based on inventory availability: the SFM-105-01-L-S currently has higher stock levels (855 units versus 679 units). Both parts are suitable for applications requiring 5-position, 0.050" pitch receptacle connectors with gold-plated mating contacts and 3.2A per contact current capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SFM-105-01-L-S be used as a direct replacement for SFM-105-T1-L-S?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (3.2A per contact, 250VAC), mechanical dimensions (0.050" pitch, 5 positions, through-hole mounting), contact materials (beryllium copper with gold plating), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). Both are ROHS3 compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Q: Are there differences in packaging or moisture sensitivity between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in tube packaging. The SFM-105-T1-L-S does not specify moisture sensitivity level (Not Applicable), while the SFM-105-01-L-S is rated MSL 1 (Unlimited). This difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What determines compatibility for substitute rectangular connectors in the SFM series?

A: Compatibility is determined by matching the number of positions, mating pitch, connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), mounting method (through hole), termination type (solder), contact finish (gold), current and voltage ratings, and operating temperature range. All these parameters are identical between the main part and its substitute.

Q: Are both parts suitable for board-to-board and cable applications?

A: Yes. Both the SFM-105-T1-L-S and SFM-105-01-L-S are specified for board-to-board or cable style applications with identical mated stacking heights (6.02mm through 11.63mm).
