Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SFM-120-T2-L-D-LC is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (40)
• Pitch - mating (0.050" / 1.27mm)
• Number of rows (2)
• Row spacing - mating (0.050" / 1.27mm)
• Mounting type (Surface Mount)
• Current rating (3.2A per Contact)
• Voltage rating (250VAC)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Contact finish - mating (Gold)
• Insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• RoHS compliance (ROHS3)

The SFM-120-02-L-D-LC meets all these criteria and is classified as a direct substitute within the Tiger Eye™ SFM series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SFM-120-T2-L-D-LC and SFM-120-02-L-D-LC are active products from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Inventory availability: SFM-120-T2-L-D-LC has 915 units in stock; SFM-120-02-L-D-LC has 790 units in stock
• Supply chain requirements: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Lead time considerations: Both are active products with established manufacturing support

No performance or compatibility differences exist between these parts for applications requiring 40-position, 0.050" pitch surface mount receptacle connectors with gold-plated contacts and 3.2A per contact current rating.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SFM-120-02-L-D-LC be used as a direct replacement for SFM-120-T2-L-D-LC?
