Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SFM-115-L2-L-D-A-P-TR are identified within the SFM-115 base product family based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Electrical Equivalence Criteria:

• 30-position receptacle configuration
• 0.050" (1.27mm) mating pitch
• 2-row layout with 0.050" (1.27mm) row spacing
• Female socket contact type with gold mating finish
• 3.2A per contact current rating
• 250VAC voltage rating
• Beryllium copper contact material
• Operating temperature range -55°C ~ 125°C

Mechanical Equivalence Criteria:

• Surface mount termination
• Push-pull fastening type
• Liquid crystal polymer insulation
• 0.185" (4.70mm) insulation height
• Square contact shape
• Solder termination

Compliance Equivalence:

• ROHS3 compliance
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Moisture sensitivity level 1

Substitute parts differ only in packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) and board guide configuration, which do not affect electrical or mechanical performance in the application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—SFM-115-L2-L-D-A-P-TR, SFM-115-02-L-D-A-K-TR, and SFM-115-02-L-D-A-P-TR—are active products from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging and supply requirements rather than performance characteristics.

SFM-115-L2-L-D-A-P-TR (Tape & Reel): Suitable for high-volume automated assembly operations where tape-and-reel packaging provides optimal pick-and-place efficiency.

SFM-115-02-L-D-A-K-TR (Tape & Reel): Functionally equivalent to the primary part with identical electrical performance and tape-and-reel packaging. Offers higher current inventory availability (6259 pcs).

SFM-115-02-L-D-A-P-TR (Cut Tape): Functionally equivalent with identical electrical performance. Cut tape packaging is suitable for lower-volume applications or manual assembly processes where individual component handling is required.

All parts meet ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. Selection should be based on assembly process requirements and inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are these parts electrically interchangeable? A: Yes. SFM-115-L2-L-D-A-P-TR, SFM-115-02-L-D-A-K-TR, and SFM-115-02-L-D-A-P-TR are electrically identical. All three deliver 3.2A per contact at 250VAC with identical mating pitch, contact configuration, and operating temperature range.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging? A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly with continuous tape feed. Cut Tape (CT) packaging provides individual components cut from tape, suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume production runs.

Q: Can I substitute SFM-115-02-L-D-A-P-TR (Cut Tape) for SFM-115-L2-L-D-A-P-TR (Tape & Reel) in my design? A: Yes, from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. However, assembly process compatibility must be evaluated. If your production line requires tape-and-reel format for automated handling, cut tape packaging will require manual component placement or process modification.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. SFM-115-L2-L-D-A-P-TR, SFM-115-02-L-D-A-K-TR, and SFM-115-02-L-D-A-P-TR are all ROHS3 compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and moisture sensitivity level 1.

Q: What determines whether a part can substitute for another in this family? A: Substitution is determined by matching electrical parameters (position count, pitch, current/voltage ratings, contact material and finish), mechanical dimensions (insulation height, row spacing, contact shape), mounting type (surface mount), termination method (solder), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, UL94 V-0). Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Which part should I select for high-volume production? A: For high-volume automated assembly, select either SFM-115-L2-L-D-A-P-TR or SFM-115-02-L-D-A-K-TR (both Tape & Reel format). SFM-115-02-L-D-A-K-TR offers higher inventory availability at 6259 pcs.
