SFMC-116-T1-S-D Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SFMC-116-T1-S-D is a 32-position receptacle connector from Samtec Inc.'s Tiger Eye™ SFMC series, designed for board-to-board or cable applications. This connector features 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch mating with gold-plated contacts rated for 2.9A per contact and operates across -55°C to 125°C. The part is currently active in production with 859 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the connector's critical specifications, enabling design flexibility and supply chain continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SFMC-116-T1-S-D is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Position Configuration: Receptacle, 32 positions, 2 rows
• Mating Interface: 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch and row spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination
• Electrical Performance: 2.9A per contact current rating
• Environmental Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, ROHS3 compliance, -55°C to 125°C operating range
• Contact Interface: Gold-plated mating surface

The substitute part SFMC-116-01-S-D maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution. Variations in contact material composition (Beryllium Copper vs. Phosphor Bronze) and moisture sensitivity level do not affect functional interchangeability within the specified operating parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SFMC-116-T1-S-D and SFMC-116-01-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-116-01-S-D currently maintains higher inventory (919 units) compared to SFMC-116-T1-S-D (859 units), making it suitable for applications requiring extended lead time assurance. Both parts meet identical electrical performance specifications, environmental operating ranges, and mechanical interface requirements for board-to-board or cable connector applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SFMC-116-01-S-D be used as a direct replacement for SFMC-116-T1-S-D?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical connector type, position configuration, mating pitch, row spacing, mounting method, termination type, current rating, operating temperature range, and flammability certification. The parts are functionally interchangeable within the specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Q: What is the difference between contact materials in these two parts?

A: SFMC-116-T1-S-D uses Phosphor Bronze contacts, while SFMC-116-01-S-D uses Beryllium Copper contacts. Both materials are rated for the same 2.9A per contact current and maintain equivalent performance within the -55°C to 125°C operating range. Contact material selection does not affect mating interface compatibility or electrical performance for this connector series.

Q: Are there any packaging or handling differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in tube packaging. SFMC-116-01-S-D carries a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) rating of 1 (Unlimited), while SFMC-116-T1-S-D lists MSL as Not Applicable. This indicates SFMC-116-01-S-D has defined moisture sensitivity handling requirements, though both parts maintain equivalent functional performance when stored and handled according to their respective specifications.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is determined by equivalence in connector type (receptacle), position count (32), mating pitch (0.050"), row configuration (2 rows at 0.050" spacing), mounting method (through-hole), termination (solder), contact finish (gold), current rating (2.9A per contact), operating temperature (-55°C to 125°C), and regulatory compliance (UL94 V-0, ROHS3). Variations in contact material composition do not affect substitution eligibility.
