Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SFM-112-T2-S-D-A is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle with female socket contacts
• Position Count & Arrangement: 24 positions in 2-row configuration
• Pitch Specifications: 0.050" (1.27mm) mating pitch and 0.050" (1.27mm) row spacing
• Mounting Technology: Surface mount termination with solder attachment
• Electrical Performance: 3.2A per contact at 250VAC minimum
• Contact Material & Finish: Beryllium copper with gold mating surface (30.0µin thickness) and tin post finish
• Environmental Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating
• Operating Range: -55°C to 125°C temperature specification

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as direct substitutes within the Tiger Eye™ SFM series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SFM-112-02-S-D-A is a direct substitute for the SFM-112-T2-S-D-A. Both parts are manufactured by Samtec Inc. within the Tiger Eye™ SFM series and share identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications. Both parts maintain active product status with current production support and full ROHS3 compliance certification. The parts are interchangeable for all applications requiring 24-position, 0.050" pitch surface mount receptacle connectors with gold-plated contacts and 3.2A per contact current rating.

Selection between these two part numbers should be based on procurement availability and lead time requirements. The SFM-112-T2-S-D-A currently has higher inventory (1087 pcs) compared to SFM-112-02-S-D-A (923 pcs), which may influence sourcing decisions for high-volume applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are SFM-112-T2-S-D-A and SFM-112-02-S-D-A fully interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in all electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters. They share the same 24-position configuration, 0.050" pitch, gold contact finish, 3.2A current rating, and 250VAC voltage rating. Both are ROHS3 compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and operate across -55°C to 125°C.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The part numbers differ in their suffix designation (T2 versus 02), but this distinction does not reflect differences in the connector's functional or physical specifications as provided in the technical data. Both parts belong to the same SFM-112 base product family.

Q: Can I use SFM-112-02-S-D-A as a replacement if SFM-112-T2-S-D-A is unavailable?

A: Yes. The SFM-112-02-S-D-A meets all substitution criteria and can be used directly in applications designed for SFM-112-T2-S-D-A without design modifications or re-qualification.

Q: Are there any packaging or handling differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in tube packaging with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, indicating no special moisture control requirements during storage or handling.

Q: What are the mated stacking height options for these connectors?

A: Both parts support the same mated stacking heights: 6.15mm, 6.30mm, 7.92mm, 8.08mm, 9.70mm, 9.86mm, 11.61mm, and 11.76mm, providing flexibility for various board-to-board spacing requirements.
