Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SFML-120-T1-L-D-A is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Position Count: Receptacle configuration with 40 positions
• Pitch & Row Spacing: 0.050" (1.27mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination
• Electrical Performance: 3.2A per contact at 250VAC
• Environmental Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and ROHS3 compliance
• Operating Range: -55°C to 125°C temperature specification
• Contact Finish: Gold-plated mating surface with tin-plated posts

The SFML-120-01-L-D-A meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent within the Tiger Eye™ SFML series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SFML-120-T1-L-D-A and SFML-120-01-L-D-A maintain active product status with identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and lead time requirements. The SFML-120-T1-L-D-A currently has 884 pieces in stock, while the SFML-120-01-L-D-A has 676 pieces available. Both connectors carry full ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 certification, meeting regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications. No performance degradation occurs when substituting between these equivalent parts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SFML-120-01-L-D-A be used as a direct replacement for SFML-120-T1-L-D-A?

A: Yes. Both connectors are functionally equivalent receptacles with identical 40-position, 0.050" pitch configurations, electrical ratings, and environmental specifications. They are interchangeable for board-to-board and cable applications.

Q: What determines substitution compatibility for this connector series?

A: Substitution requires matching connector type (receptacle), position count (40), mating pitch (0.050"), row configuration (2 rows), mounting method (through-hole), contact finish (gold mating surface), electrical ratings (3.2A, 250VAC), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C).

Q: Are there any differences in packaging or handling between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in tube packaging. No differences in moisture sensitivity level, handling, or storage requirements exist between the two connectors.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both SFML-120-T1-L-D-A and SFML-120-01-L-D-A are ROHS3 compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Q: Which part should be selected based on availability?

A: Selection should prioritize current inventory levels and project lead time requirements. The SFML-120-T1-L-D-A offers higher stock availability at 884 pieces, while SFML-120-01-L-D-A provides an alternative with 676 pieces in stock.
