Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution within the SFMC-117 family is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), number of positions (34), mating pitch (0.050"), row configuration (2 rows at 0.050" spacing), mounting type (surface mount), termination method (solder), fastening mechanism (push-pull), contact finish (gold at 10.0µin thickness), current rating (2.9A per contact), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), insulation material (LCP), and flammability rating (UL94 V-0).

The substitute parts SFMC-117-02-L-D and SFMC-117-02-L-D-P maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the primary part SFMC-117-L2-L-D. The distinction between these parts lies in packaging configuration and optional features. SFMC-117-02-L-D is supplied in standard tube packaging, while SFMC-117-02-L-D-P includes pick-and-place feature designation for automated assembly applications. All three parts share the same base product number (SFMC-117) and comply with ROHS3 and UL94 V-0 standards.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—SFMC-117-L2-L-D, SFMC-117-02-L-D, and SFMC-117-02-L-D-P—are active products from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on assembly process requirements and inventory availability.

SFMC-117-02-L-D-P is the appropriate selection for automated pick-and-place assembly operations, as it includes the pick-and-place feature designation. This variant currently has the highest inventory level at 1159 units.

SFMC-117-02-L-D serves as a standard alternative when pick-and-place capability is not required, with 869 units available.

SFMC-117-L2-L-D remains the primary specification with 996 units in stock.

All parts comply with ROHS3 regulations and UL94 V-0 flammability standards, ensuring regulatory compliance across applications. Moisture sensitivity level 1 (unlimited) indicates no special storage or handling requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are SFMC-117-L2-L-D, SFMC-117-02-L-D, and SFMC-117-02-L-D-P electrically and mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical electrical ratings (2.9A per contact, -55°C ~ 125°C operating range), mechanical configuration (34 positions, 0.050" pitch, 2-row layout), contact specifications (gold-plated female sockets), and termination method (solder surface mount). They are direct substitutes from an electrical and mechanical standpoint.

Q: What is the difference between SFMC-117-02-L-D and SFMC-117-02-L-D-P?

A: The primary difference is the pick-and-place feature designation on the SFMC-117-02-L-D-P variant. This feature is relevant for automated assembly processes. Both parts are otherwise identical in electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: Do all three parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and have moisture sensitivity level 1 (unlimited). They meet identical regulatory and safety requirements.

Q: Can I substitute SFMC-117-02-L-D-P for SFMC-117-L2-L-D in a manual assembly process?

A: Yes. The pick-and-place feature on SFMC-117-02-L-D-P does not prevent manual assembly. The part functions identically in manual or automated assembly contexts.

Q: What is the significance of the base product number SFMC-117?

A: The base product number SFMC-117 identifies the core connector family. All three substitute parts share this base number, indicating they belong to the same product line with consistent design and performance characteristics.

Q: Are there any temperature or current rating differences between these parts?

A: No. All three parts operate across the identical temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) and carry the same current rating of 2.9A per contact.
