Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SFM-115-T2-L-D-A-K is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle) and contact type (Female Socket)
• Position count (30 positions) and row configuration (2 rows)
• Mating pitch (0.050" / 1.27mm) and row spacing (0.050" / 1.27mm)
• Mounting method (Surface Mount) and fastening type (Push-Pull)
• Electrical ratings (3.2A per contact, 250VAC)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Contact material (Beryllium Copper) and mating finish (Gold)
• Insulation material (LCP) and flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1)

The substitute part SFM-115-02-L-D-A-K meets all these criteria and belongs to the same Tiger Eye™ SFM series from Samtec Inc.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SFM-115-T2-L-D-A-K and SFM-115-02-L-D-A-K are active production parts from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical, mechanical, and compliance specifications. Selection between these parts may be based on inventory availability, lead time, or procurement source requirements. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The MSL 1 rating indicates unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions. Either part is suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring 30-position, 0.050" pitch surface mount receptacle connectors with push-pull fastening and gold-plated contacts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical electrical ratings (3.2A per contact, 250VAC), mechanical configuration (30 positions, 0.050" pitch, 2-row layout), contact materials (Beryllium Copper with gold plating), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). They are functionally equivalent for board-to-board and cable applications.

Q: Are there differences in mating stacking heights between these parts?

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. Stacking height selection depends on the mating connector used, not on the choice between these two receptacle variants.

Q: Do both parts have the same compliance certifications?

A: Yes. Both SFM-115-T2-L-D-A-K and SFM-115-02-L-D-A-K are ROHS3 compliant, UL94 V-0 rated, and classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity level). Both carry ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.4040 classifications.

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

A: The part numbers differ in their middle designators (T2 versus 02), which may indicate internal Samtec manufacturing variants or configuration differences not specified in the provided technical parameters. From an electrical and mechanical standpoint, the parts are equivalent.

Q: Are these connectors suitable for high-frequency applications?

A: The provided specifications do not include high-frequency performance data such as impedance, insertion loss, or return loss. Consult Samtec technical documentation for frequency-dependent characteristics if required for your application.

Q: What is the current inventory status?

A: SFM-115-T2-L-D-A-K has 1150 pieces in stock. SFM-115-02-L-D-A-K has 1254 pieces in stock. Both are available as new original components.
