Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SFMC-118-02-L-D-TR are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the Tiger Eye™ SFMC series. All substitute parts maintain identical specifications for connector type, position count, mating pitch, row configuration, mounting method, contact finish, current rating, operating temperature range, and compliance certifications. Substitution is valid when the following parameters are matched:

• Connector Type: Receptacle
• Number of Positions: 36
• Pitch - Mating: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Current Rating: 2.9A per Contact
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Variations in contact material composition and pick-and-place features do not affect functional interchangeability for standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—SFMC-118-02-L-D-TR, SFMC-118-T2-L-D-TR, and SFMC-118-L2-L-D-P-TR—are active products with full ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical performance specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by specific design requirements and manufacturing process considerations rather than functional capability.

SFMC-118-02-L-D-TR and SFMC-118-L2-L-D-P-TR utilize beryllium copper contact material, providing consistent performance characteristics. SFMC-118-T2-L-D-TR employs phosphor bronze contacts, which represents an alternative contact material composition within the same electrical and mechanical parameter set.

SFMC-118-L2-L-D-P-TR includes pick-and-place features, making it suitable for automated assembly processes requiring enhanced handling characteristics. SFMC-118-02-L-D-TR and SFMC-118-T2-L-D-TR are specified without pick-and-place features.

All parts maintain identical current ratings, operating temperature ranges, and compliance certifications, supporting direct substitution in applications where the specified contact material and assembly process requirements are compatible.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SFMC-118-T2-L-D-TR be used as a direct replacement for SFMC-118-02-L-D-TR?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications including 36 positions, 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch, 2.9A per contact current rating, and -55°C ~ 125°C operating temperature. The contact material difference (phosphor bronze versus beryllium copper) does not affect functional interchangeability for standard applications.

Q: What is the significance of the pick-and-place feature in SFMC-118-L2-L-D-P-TR?

A: The pick-and-place feature indicates enhanced handling characteristics for automated assembly equipment. This specification does not alter electrical or mechanical performance and is relevant only to manufacturing process requirements.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. SFMC-118-02-L-D-TR, SFMC-118-T2-L-D-TR, and SFMC-118-L2-L-D-P-TR are all ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level.

Q: Do these parts share the same base product number?

A: Yes. All three parts are variants of the SFMC-118 base product number within the Tiger Eye™ SFMC series, confirming their functional equivalence within the specified parameter set.

Q: What packaging format is used for all substitute parts?

A: All parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format suitable for automated assembly processes.
