SFM-115-L2-S-D-LC-P-TR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SFM-115-L2-S-D-LC-P-TR is a 30-position receptacle connector from Samtec Inc.'s Tiger Eye™ SFM series, designed for surface mount board-to-board or cable applications. This connector features 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch mating contacts with gold plating, push-pull fastening, and board lock functionality. The part is Active status and ROHS3 compliant, with 1151 pieces currently in stock as new original inventory.

Substitute parts are necessary when packaging requirements differ (Cut Tape versus Tape & Reel) or when specific connector variants within the same electrical and mechanical specification are required for production workflows.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution within the SFM-115 series is determined by electrical and mechanical compatibility. All substitute parts maintain identical specifications for:

  • Connector type (Receptacle)
  • Number of positions (30)
  • Pitch and row spacing (0.050" / 1.27mm)
  • Contact finish and material (Gold-plated Beryllium Copper)
  • Current and voltage ratings (3.2A per Contact, 250VAC)
  • Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
  • Mounting type (Surface Mount)
  • Fastening type (Push-Pull with Board Lock)
  • Compliance certifications (ROHS3, UL94 V-0, MSL 1)

The primary difference between substitute parts is packaging format: Tape & Reel (TR) versus Cut Tape (CT). This distinction affects procurement, handling, and automated assembly processes but does not alter electrical or mechanical performance.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts are Active status products from Samtec Inc. and meet identical electrical, mechanical, and compliance requirements. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging and inventory availability:

  • SFM-115-L2-S-D-LC-P-TR: Tape & Reel packaging, 1151 units in stock
  • SFM-115-02-S-D-LC-K-TR: Cut Tape packaging, 1712 units in stock
  • SFM-115-02-S-D-LC-P-TR: Tape & Reel packaging, 1981 units in stock

All parts carry ROHS3 compliance, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification. No additional testing or verification is required for electrical or mechanical interchangeability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SFM-115-02-S-D-LC-K-TR (Cut Tape) be used as a direct substitute for SFM-115-L2-S-D-LC-P-TR (Tape & Reel)?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The difference is packaging format. Cut Tape is suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume production, while Tape & Reel is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly. Connector performance and specifications are unchanged.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. All three parts carry identical certifications: ROHS3 compliance, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, REACH unaffected status, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level.

Q: What is the mated stacking height for this connector?

A: The SFM-115 series supports multiple mated stacking heights: 6.15mm, 6.30mm, 7.92mm, 8.08mm, 9.70mm, 9.86mm, 11.61mm, and 11.76mm, depending on the mating connector configuration.

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

A: Yes. The operating temperature range is -55°C to 125°C, suitable for industrial and automotive applications within this thermal envelope.

Q: What is the current-carrying capacity per contact?

A: Each contact is rated for 3.2A at 250VAC maximum voltage.
