Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SFMC-125-02-S-D-P are determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (50)
• Pitch specification (0.050" / 1.27mm mating pitch)
• Row configuration (2 rows with 0.050" row spacing)
• Mounting method (Surface Mount)
• Termination type (Solder)
• Fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)
• Contact finish (Gold at 30.0µin thickness)
• Current rating (2.9A per contact)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer)
• Contact material (Beryllium Copper)
• Compliance standards (UL94 V-0, ROHS3)

The SFMC-125-02-SM-D-K meets all these criteria and is classified as a direct substitute within the Tiger Eye™ SFMC series.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are SFMC-125-02-S-D-P and SFMC-125-02-SM-D-K electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature identical electrical specifications including 50-position configuration, 0.050" pitch, 2.9A per contact current rating, and gold-plated beryllium copper contacts. They are electrically interchangeable in applications requiring these specifications.

Q: What is the significance of the pitch specification in connector substitution?

A: Pitch (0.050" / 1.27mm) defines the center-to-center spacing between contacts. Connectors with different pitch values are not mechanically compatible. Both substitute parts maintain identical pitch specifications, ensuring mechanical compatibility with mating connectors.

Q: Do both parts support the same mounting method?

A: Yes. Both SFMC-125-02-S-D-P and SFMC-125-02-SM-D-K are surface mount receptacles with solder termination and push-pull fastening. They are compatible with identical PCB assembly processes.

Q: What does the row spacing parameter indicate?

A: Row spacing (0.050" / 1.27mm) specifies the distance between the two rows of contacts. Both parts maintain identical row spacing, ensuring compatibility with the same mating connector designs.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level. Compliance certifications are identical.
