Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SFM-135-02-L-D-LC-P qualifies as a direct substitute for the SFM-135-L2-L-D-LC-P based on alignment of all critical substitution parameters:

Electrical Parameters: Both parts maintain identical current rating (3.2A per Contact), voltage rating (250VAC), and contact finish specifications (gold mating surface with 10.0µin thickness).

Mechanical Parameters: Both connectors share the same 70-position configuration, 0.050" (1.27mm) mating pitch, 2-row layout with 0.050" row spacing, surface mount termination, and push-pull fastening mechanism.

Environmental & Compliance Parameters: Both parts operate across the identical temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification.

Series & Manufacturer: Both parts belong to the Tiger Eye™ SFM series from Samtec Inc. and share the same base product number (SFM-135), confirming design family equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SFM-135-L2-L-D-LC-P and SFM-135-02-L-D-LC-P maintain Active product status with full manufacturer support and availability. Selection between these parts is based on inventory requirements and supply chain considerations rather than technical differentiation.

The SFM-135-L2-L-D-LC-P carries 867 pieces in current stock inventory, while the SFM-135-02-L-D-LC-P maintains 845 pieces. Both parts comply with ROHS3 regulations and carry identical UL94 V-0 flammability certification, meeting the same environmental and regulatory requirements for production applications.

For applications requiring immediate component availability or specific lot traceability, either part may be selected based on current inventory status. Both connectors deliver equivalent electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and long-term reliability characteristics within the specified operating parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are these connectors mechanically interchangeable? A: Yes. Both the SFM-135-L2-L-D-LC-P and SFM-135-02-L-D-LC-P share identical mechanical dimensions, mating pitch (0.050"), row configuration, surface mount footprint, and push-pull fastening interface. No PCB redesign is required for substitution.

Q: Do these parts have the same electrical ratings? A: Yes. Both connectors maintain 3.2A per contact current rating and 250VAC voltage rating. Contact finish specifications, including gold plating thickness (10.0µin), are identical across both parts.

Q: What is the difference between these part numbers? A: The part numbers differ in their internal designation codes (L2 versus 02), but all functional, electrical, and mechanical specifications remain identical.
