Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SFM-107-L2-L-D are qualified based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters within the SFM-107 base product family. All substitute parts maintain the following core specifications:

• 14-position receptacle configuration
• 0.050" (1.27mm) mating pitch
• 2-row layout with 0.050" (1.27mm) row spacing
• Surface mount solder termination
• Push-pull fastening type
• Gold contact finish (10.0µin / 0.25µm mating surface)
• Tin contact finish (post)
• 3.2A per contact current rating
• 250VAC voltage rating
• -55°C ~ 125°C operating temperature range
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation
• Beryllium copper contact material
• ROHS3 compliance
• MSL 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity level)

Substitute parts differ only in optional mechanical features (board guides, mounting flanges, board lock mechanisms) and packaging variants, which do not affect electrical compatibility or core functional performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the SFM-107-L2-L-D. Selection among these parts should be based on specific mechanical requirements:

SFM-107-02-L-D: Standard configuration without additional mechanical features. Suitable for applications requiring baseline 14-position receptacle functionality.

SFM-107-02-L-D-A: Includes board guide feature. Select when mechanical alignment assistance during mating is required.

SFM-107-02-L-D-DS: Includes mounting flange and mounting hardware. Select when panel-mount or fixed-position installation is required.

SFM-107-02-L-D-LC: Includes board lock feature. Select when positive mechanical retention and prevention of accidental unmating is required.

All parts are Active status, ROHS3 compliant, and carry identical electrical ratings. Selection does not impact circuit performance or compliance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are all listed substitute parts electrically interchangeable with the SFM-107-L2-L-D?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications including 14-position configuration, 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch, 3.2A per contact current rating, and 250VAC voltage rating. Differences are limited to optional mechanical features that do not affect electrical performance.

Q: What is the difference between the standard SFM-107-02-L-D and the variants with features?

A: The base SFM-107-02-L-D provides standard receptacle functionality. The -A variant adds a board guide for alignment assistance. The -DS variant adds a mounting flange with hardware for panel installation. The -LC variant adds a board lock mechanism for positive retention. All variants share identical electrical and core mechanical specifications.

Q: Can I substitute SFM-107-02-L-D-DS (with mounting flange) for SFM-107-L2-L-D in a board-to-board application?

A: Electrically yes, but mechanical compatibility must be verified. The mounting flange and hardware on the -DS variant may require different PCB layout or mounting provisions. Confirm that your application design accommodates the additional mechanical features before substitution.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level.

Q: What is the mated stacking height for these connectors?

A: Mated stacking heights range from 6.15mm to 11.76mm depending on the mating connector configuration. Refer to the specific mating connector specifications for exact stacking height in your application.

Q: Do these connectors require any special handling or storage conditions?

A: All parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Standard ESD precautions for electronic components apply.
