Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SFM-115-T2-L-D-A is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Number of positions (30)
• Pitch specification (0.050" / 1.27mm)
• Number of rows (2)
• Mounting type (Surface Mount)
• Contact finish - mating (Gold)
• Current rating (3.2A per Contact)
• Voltage rating (250VAC)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• RoHS compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant)
• Series family (Tiger Eye™ SFM)

The identified substitute part SFM-115-02-L-D-A meets all these criteria and belongs to the same base product family (SFM-115), confirming direct substitutability within the specified electrical and mechanical constraints.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SFM-115-T2-L-D-A and SFM-115-02-L-D-A are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and lead time requirements. The SFM-115-02-L-D-A currently maintains higher inventory (983 Pcs) compared to the SFM-115-T2-L-D-A (862 Pcs), making it suitable for applications requiring immediate availability. Both parts satisfy identical electrical performance specifications, mechanical mounting requirements, and environmental operating conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SFM-115-02-L-D-A be used as a direct replacement for SFM-115-T2-L-D-A?

A: Yes. Both parts are 30-position receptacle connectors with identical pitch (0.050"), mounting type (surface mount), contact ratings (3.2A per contact, 250VAC), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). All electrical and mechanical parameters match exactly.

Q: Are there any differences in contact finish or plating specifications?

A: No. Both parts feature gold-plated mating contacts with identical finish thickness (10.0µin / 0.25µm) and tin-plated posts. Contact material, shape, and all finish specifications are identical.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, UL94 V-0 rated, and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications. Moisture sensitivity level is 1 (Unlimited) for both.

Q: What is the difference between the part numbers T2 and 02?

A: The part number designations T2 and 02 represent different internal Samtec coding within the SFM-115 base product family. All specified electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical between these variants.

Q: Are the mated stacking heights the same?

A: Yes. Both parts support identical mated stacking heights: 6.15mm, 6.30mm, 7.92mm, 8.08mm, 9.70mm, 9.86mm, 11.61mm, and 11.76mm.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are surface mount receptacles with identical pitch, row spacing, and mounting footprint specifications. They are mechanically and electrically interchangeable for board-to-board or cable applications.
