Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SFM-112-L2-S-D-A is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Number of positions (24)
• Pitch specification (0.050" / 1.27mm mating pitch)
• Row configuration (2 rows with 0.050" row spacing)
• Mounting technology (Surface Mount)
• Contact finish (Gold plating on mating surface)
• Electrical ratings (3.2A per contact, 250VAC minimum)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Regulatory compliance (ROHS3 Compliant)

The substitute part SFM-112-02-S-D-A meets all these criteria and belongs to the same Tiger Eye™ SFM series from Samtec Inc., ensuring mechanical and electrical interchangeability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SFM-112-L2-S-D-A and SFM-112-02-S-D-A are active production parts from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical, mechanical, and regulatory specifications. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry EAR99 export classification. The SFM-112-02-S-D-A currently maintains higher inventory availability (923 pcs vs. 680 pcs), making it a viable alternative for procurement planning. Selection between these parts should be based on supply chain availability, lead time requirements, and inventory management objectives, as they are functionally equivalent for all documented applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are SFM-112-L2-S-D-A and SFM-112-02-S-D-A mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications including 24-position configuration, 0.050" pitch, 2-row layout, surface mount footprint, and push-pull fastening. They are direct mechanical substitutes.

Q: Do these parts have the same electrical ratings?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 3.2A per contact and 250VAC, with identical contact materials (beryllium copper) and gold plating specifications (30.0µin / 0.76µm).

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications.

Q: What is the difference between SFM-112-L2-S-D-A and SFM-112-02-S-D-A?
