Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connectors within the SFML-115 base product family is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle with female socket contacts
• Position Count & Arrangement: 30 positions in 2-row configuration
• Pitch Specifications: 0.050" (1.27mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Mounting Technology: Surface mount termination with solder connection
• Electrical Performance: 3.2A per contact at 250VAC
• Environmental Ratings: Operating temperature range -55°C ~ 125°C, UL94 V-0 flammability
• Contact Finish: Gold-plated mating surface with tin-plated posts
• Compliance: RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating

The SFML-115-02-L-D-A qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical alignment across all these parameters within the Tiger Eye™ SFML series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SFML-115-T2-L-D-A and SFML-115-02-L-D-A maintain Active product status from Samtec Inc. and carry identical RoHS3 compliance and EAR99 export classification. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and procurement lead times. The SFML-115-02-L-D-A currently maintains higher stock levels (1602 pcs versus 720 pcs), which may provide supply chain advantages for high-volume production or time-sensitive applications. Both parts satisfy identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications for board-to-board or cable interconnect applications requiring 30-position 0.050" pitch surface mount receptacle connectors.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are SFML-115-T2-L-D-A and SFML-115-02-L-D-A electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors are rated for 3.2A per contact at 250VAC with identical operating temperature ranges (-55°C ~ 125°C) and contact finish specifications (gold mating surface, tin posts).

Q: What determines substitutability within the SFML-115 base product family?

A: Substitutability is determined by matching connector type (receptacle), position count (30), pitch (0.050"), row configuration (2 rows), mounting method (surface mount), and electrical ratings. Deviations in any of these parameters disqualify a part as a direct substitute.

Q: Do these connectors require different PCB footprints?

A: No. Both parts share identical pitch (0.050" mating and row spacing), insulation height (0.185"), and surface mount termination, ensuring compatible PCB layouts.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS3 compliance, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level, and EAR99 export classification.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Either part is suitable for new designs. Selection should prioritize current inventory availability and supplier lead times, as both maintain Active product status with identical specifications.
