Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SFM-115-L2-S-D-A-P-TR are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Compatibility: All substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications including 30-position configuration, 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch, 3.2A per contact current rating, and 250VAC voltage rating.

Mechanical Compatibility: All parts share the same surface mount termination method, solder termination type, push-pull fastening type, and identical mated stacking heights (6.15mm through 11.76mm).

Material & Environmental Specifications: All parts use identical Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation, beryllium copper contacts with gold mating finish, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and operate across -55°C to 125°C.

Compliance & Packaging: All parts are ROHS3 compliant, MSL 1 rated, and supplied in Tape & Reel packaging.

Variable Parameters: Substitution differences are limited to contact post finish configuration (Tin vs. alternative specifications) and specific fastening mechanism variants within the push-pull family, which do not affect electrical or thermal performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts are Active status products from Samtec Inc.'s Tiger Eye™ SFM series and maintain full ROHS3 compliance with UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The electrical and mechanical specifications are identical across all variants, ensuring direct functional interchangeability in surface mount board-to-board and cable connector applications.

Selection between the main part and substitutes should be based on:

Availability: SFM-115-02-SM-D-A-P-TR offers the highest inventory level (1518 pcs), followed by SFM-115-02-SM-D-A-K-TR (1402 pcs) and SFM-115-02-S-D-A-P-TR (1365 pcs). The main part SFM-115-L2-S-D-A-P-TR has 708 pcs available.

Compliance Verification: All parts carry identical compliance certifications (ROHS3, UL94 V-0, MSL 1) and are suitable for applications requiring these standards.

Fastening Mechanism Variants: The part number designations indicate variations in fastening mechanism configuration within the push-pull family. These differences do not affect electrical performance or thermal ratings but may impact mechanical engagement characteristics specific to mating connector design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are all listed parts electrically interchangeable with the SFM-115-L2-S-D-A-P-TR?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications: 30-position configuration, 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch, 3.2A per contact current rating, and 250VAC voltage rating. They are electrically interchangeable.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for these rectangular connectors?

A: Substitution is determined by matching connector type (receptacle), number of positions (30), mating pitch (0.050"), mounting method (surface mount), termination type (solder), fastening type (push-pull), current and voltage ratings, operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), contact materials and finishes, insulation material (LCP), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, UL94 V-0).

Q: Do the fastening mechanism variants affect PCB layout or design?

A: Fastening mechanism variants are indicated in the part number but do not affect electrical performance or thermal characteristics. PCB layout compatibility depends on the mating connector design and should be verified against the specific connector being used.

Q: Are all parts supplied in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. All parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level rating.

Q: What is the difference between the "L2" designation in the main part number and the "02" designation in substitute parts?

A: The designations represent different configuration variants within the SFM series. Both are functionally equivalent for the specified electrical and mechanical parameters. The specific difference is determined by Samtec's internal product configuration coding.

Q: Can these parts be used in high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. All parts are rated for operation across -55°C to 125°C and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification, making them suitable for industrial and high-temperature applications within this range.

Q: Are all parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed parts are ROHS3 compliant. The main part and all substitutes meet ROHS3 requirements.
