Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SFML-120-T2-S-D-A-K qualifies as a direct substitute for the SFML-120-02-S-D-A-P based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical connector type (Receptacle) and contact type (Female Socket)
• Matching position count (40 positions) and row configuration (2 rows)
• Identical mating pitch (0.050" / 1.27mm) and row spacing
• Identical mounting type (Surface Mount) and termination method (Solder)
• Matching contact finish specifications (Gold mating surface, Tin post finish)
• Identical electrical ratings (3.2A per contact, 250VAC)
• Identical operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Matching material specifications (UL94 V-0, LCP insulation)
• Identical compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1)

The substitution is valid across all specified electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SFML-120-02-S-D-A-P and SFML-120-T2-S-D-A-K maintain Active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and procurement requirements. The SFML-120-02-S-D-A-P currently maintains 1024 pieces in stock, while the SFML-120-T2-S-D-A-K maintains 908 pieces. Both parts carry MSL 1 rating, eliminating moisture sensitivity constraints for storage and handling. The identical UL94 V-0 flammability rating ensures equivalent performance in applications requiring flame resistance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are SFML-120-02-S-D-A-P and SFML-120-T2-S-D-A-K electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications: 3.2A per contact current rating, 250VAC voltage rating, and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range. They are direct electrical substitutes.

Q: Do these connectors have identical mechanical dimensions?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature 40 positions in a 2-row configuration with 0.050" (1.27mm) mating pitch and row spacing. Insulation height, contact shape, and mounting footprint are identical.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The part numbers differ in their configuration codes (02 versus T2), but all specified electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters are identical. The difference lies in internal design variants that do not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Are both parts suitable for surface mount assembly?

A: Yes. Both connectors are specified for surface mount termination with solder attachment and include board guide and pick-and-place features for automated assembly.

Q: Do these connectors require special handling or storage conditions?

A: No. Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints. Standard component storage conditions apply.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both SFML-120-02-S-D-A-P and SFML-120-T2-S-D-A-K are ROHS3 compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating.
