Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SFMC-115-02-SM-D is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Number of positions (30)
• Pitch specification (0.050" / 1.27mm)
• Number of rows (2)
• Mounting technology (Surface Mount)
• Contact finish material (Gold)
• Current rating (2.9A per contact)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Series family (Tiger Eye™ SFMC)
• RoHS compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant)

The SFMC-115-02-S-D qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical values across all these parameters. The difference between the main part and substitute lies in the termination style designation within the part number suffix, while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SFMC-115-02-SM-D and SFMC-115-02-S-D are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and supply chain requirements. The SFMC-115-02-S-D currently maintains higher inventory levels at 1573 units compared to 821 units for the SFMC-115-02-SM-D, making it a viable alternative for applications requiring immediate availability. Both parts meet identical electrical specifications, thermal operating ranges, and regulatory compliance requirements. The MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) for both parts indicates no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.
