Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SFMC-108-02-S-D qualifies as a direct substitute for the SFMC-108-T2-S-D based on equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts share identical specifications for:

• Connector type, contact type, and gender (Receptacle, Female Socket)
• Position count and pitch geometry (16 positions, 0.050" mating pitch, 2-row configuration)
• Mounting method and termination (Surface Mount, Solder)
• Fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)
• Current rating (2.9A per contact)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Contact finish specification (Gold, 30.0µin thickness)
• Insulation material and flammability rating (LCP, UL94 V-0)
• Compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1)

The substitution is valid within the Tiger Eye™ SFMC series, where both parts maintain functional and dimensional compatibility for board-to-board and cable interconnect applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SFMC-108-T2-S-D and SFMC-108-02-S-D are active production parts with full ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on availability and contact material preference. The SFMC-108-T2-S-D uses Phosphor Bronze contacts, while the SFMC-108-02-S-D uses Beryllium Copper contacts. Both materials are suitable for the specified 2.9A per contact current rating and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range. The SFMC-108-T2-S-D currently has higher inventory availability at 953 units compared to 720 units for the SFMC-108-02-S-D. Both parts maintain identical dimensional compatibility, pitch geometry, and mounting characteristics for direct substitution in surface mount applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SFMC-108-02-S-D replace SFMC-108-T2-S-D in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are functionally equivalent across all critical parameters including connector type, position count, pitch, mounting method, current rating, and operating temperature range. Direct substitution is valid for board-to-board and cable interconnect applications.

Q: What is the difference between Phosphor Bronze and Beryllium Copper contacts?

A: The SFMC-108-T2-S-D uses Phosphor Bronze contacts while the SFMC-108-02-S-D uses Beryllium Copper contacts. Both materials meet the specified 2.9A per contact current rating and temperature range. Contact material selection does not affect electrical compatibility or mechanical fit.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?
