Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the SFM-107-03-S-D-EM is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Connector type (Receptacle)
  • Number of positions (14)
  • Pitch configuration (0.050" mating pitch, 0.050" row spacing)
  • Number of rows (2)
  • Mounting method (Through Hole)
  • Contact finish specifications (Gold mating, Tin post)
  • Electrical ratings (3.2A per contact, 250VAC)
  • Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
  • Compliance certifications (UL94 V-0, ROHS3)

The SFM-107-03-S-D qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical alignment across all these parameters.
