Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution within the SFML-115 family is determined by the following invariant parameters that must remain constant across all equivalent parts:

  • Base Product Number: SFML-115
  • Number of Positions: 30
  • Pitch - Mating: 0.050" (1.27mm)
  • Number of Rows: 2
  • Row Spacing - Mating: 0.050" (1.27mm)
  • Connector Type: Receptacle
  • Contact Type: Female Socket
  • Mounting Type: Surface Mount
  • Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
  • Current Rating: 3.2A per Contact
  • Voltage Rating: 250VAC
  • Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C
  • Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
  • Insulation Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)

Substitute parts differ only in termination style designation (T2 vs. 02), fastening mechanism (SM vs. S), and optional features (Board Lock, Board Guide). These variations do not affect electrical performance or core mechanical compatibility.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications and compliance certifications. Selection between SFML-115-T2-SM-D and its equivalents is based on:

Termination and Fastening Designation: The T2 designation indicates a specific termination style, while 02 represents an alternative termination approach. Both are functionally equivalent for electrical performance. The SM designation denotes a specific fastening mechanism, while S denotes an alternative fastening approach.

Optional Features: Parts designated with -LC suffix include Board Lock functionality. Parts designated with -A suffix include Board Guide functionality. These features provide mechanical retention enhancements but do not alter electrical ratings or operating parameters.

Product Status and Compliance: All parts maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance. SFML-115-T2-S-D-LC offers the highest current inventory at 3811 units, providing supply chain flexibility.

Interchangeability: All listed substitute parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable within the SFML-115 base product family when core parameters remain constant.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SFML-115-T2-SM-D be directly replaced with SFML-115-02-S-D?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (3.2A per contact, 250VAC), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), and mechanical configuration (30 positions, 0.050" pitch, 2 rows). The difference in designation reflects alternative termination and fastening styles that do not affect functional compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between parts with -LC suffix and those without?

A: The -LC suffix indicates Board Lock feature inclusion. This provides mechanical retention enhancement but does not change electrical performance, current rating, voltage rating, or operating temperature specifications.

Q: Are SFML-115-T2-S-D-A and SFML-115-T2-S-D-LC interchangeable?

A: Both parts are electrically equivalent with identical ratings and operating parameters. SFML-115-T2-S-D-A includes Board Guide functionality, while SFML-115-T2-S-D-LC includes Board Lock functionality. Selection depends on mechanical retention requirements for the specific application.

Q: Does the termination style designation (T2 vs. 02) affect PCB layout or footprint?

A: No. All substitute parts within the SFML-115 family maintain identical pitch (0.050"), row spacing (0.050"), and mounting type (Surface Mount). PCB footprint compatibility is preserved across all listed equivalents.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best inventory availability?

A: SFML-115-T2-S-D-LC maintains the highest inventory level at 3811 units, providing optimal supply chain availability while maintaining full electrical and mechanical equivalence to SFML-115-T2-SM-D.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 material flammability rating, consistent with the main part specification.
