Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SFM-107-02-SM-D-LC is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle with female socket contacts
• Position Count & Arrangement: 14 positions in 2-row configuration
• Pitch Specification: 0.050" (1.27mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Mounting Technology: Surface mount termination with solder connection
• Electrical Performance: 3.2A per contact at 250VAC
• Environmental Compliance: Operating range -55°C to 125°C, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, ROHS3 compliance
• Contact Material & Finish: Beryllium copper contacts with gold mating finish (30.0µin thickness) and tin post finish
• Fastening Mechanism: Push-pull fastening with board lock feature
• Insulation Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) in black color

The substitute part SFM-107-02-S-D-LC meets all these criteria, differing only in packaging designation (tube packaging maintained for both) and minor inventory levels.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SFM-107-02-SM-D-LC and SFM-107-02-S-D-LC are active production parts with full ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Availability: SFM-107-02-S-D-LC currently maintains higher inventory (996 pcs vs. 907 pcs), providing improved supply chain assurance for high-volume production requirements.

Compliance Status: Both parts carry identical regulatory certifications (ROHS3, EAR99, MSL 1) and are suitable for applications requiring unrestricted moisture sensitivity handling.

Functional Equivalence: Complete parameter alignment ensures direct substitution without design modification, PCB layout adjustment, or assembly process change.
