Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SFM-115-T2-S-D-LC-K is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

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

The identified substitute part SFM-115-02-S-D-LC-K maintains identical specifications across all these parameters, confirming direct substitutability within the Tiger Eye™ SFM series.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are SFM-115-T2-S-D-LC-K and SFM-115-02-S-D-LC-K directly interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical across all electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters. They share the same base product number (SFM-115), connector configuration (30-position receptacle, 0.050" pitch), contact specifications (gold-plated Beryllium Copper), and operating ratings (3.2A per contact, 250VAC, -55°C ~ 125°C).

Q: What determines substitutability for this connector type?

A: Substitutability is determined by equivalence in connector type, position count, pitch spacing, mounting method, contact finish, electrical ratings, temperature range, and compliance certifications. Both parts meet these criteria.

Q: Are there any differences in packaging or handling?

A: Both parts are supplied in tube packaging with identical moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited), requiring no special storage or handling precautions.

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

A: Yes. Identical mating pitch (0.050"), row spacing (0.050"), insulation height (0.185"), and stacking heights ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing board layouts and mating connectors.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, UL94 V-0 rated for flammability, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with HTSUS code 8536.69.4040.
