Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SFM-130-L3-S-D-A are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the Tiger Eye™ SFM series. The following parameters define substitution eligibility:

• Connector type: Receptacle
• Contact type: Female Socket
• Number of positions: 60
• Pitch - Mating: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Number of rows: 2
• Row spacing - Mating: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Contact finish - Mating: Gold
• Current rating: 3.2A per Contact
• Voltage rating: 250VAC
• Operating temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS status: ROHS3 Compliant

The substitute part SFM-130-03-S-D-A meets all these criteria and is therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the main part number.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SFM-130-L3-S-D-A and SFM-130-03-S-D-A are active production parts with full ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 material flammability certification. The parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters. Selection between these parts may be based on inventory availability: the SFM-130-03-S-D-A currently has higher stock levels (1192 units versus 749 units). Both parts carry EAR99 export classification and are suitable for applications requiring 250VAC, 3.2A per contact performance in board-to-board or cable interconnect configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are SFM-130-L3-S-D-A and SFM-130-03-S-D-A electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are 60-position receptacle connectors with identical electrical specifications: 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch, 250VAC voltage rating, 3.2A per contact current rating, and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range.

Q: Are these parts mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical parameters: 2-row configuration, 0.050" (1.27mm) row spacing, through-hole mounting, solder termination, gold mating contact finish, and tin post finish. Mated stacking heights are identical across both parts.

Q: What is the difference between these part numbers?

A: The part numbers differ only in their suffix designation within the Tiger Eye™ SFM series. All electrical, mechanical, and material specifications are equivalent. The primary operational difference is inventory availability.

Q: Can I substitute SFM-130-03-S-D-A for SFM-130-L3-S-D-A in existing designs?

A: Yes. The parts are direct substitutes with no design modifications required. PCB footprints, mating interface, and electrical performance are identical.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both SFM-130-L3-S-D-A and SFM-130-03-S-D-A are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 material flammability certification.

Q: What is the contact material for these connectors?

A: Both connectors use beryllium copper contacts with gold plating (30.0µin / 0.76µm thickness) on the mating surface and tin plating on the post surface.
