Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SFV32R-2STE1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: 32
• Pitch: 0.020" (0.50mm)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, Right Angle
• Connector/Contact Type: Contacts, Top
• Termination: Solder
• Height Above Board: 0.071" (1.80mm)
• Voltage Rating: 50V
• Current Rating: 0.5A
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 105°C
• Locking Feature: Slide Lock
• Features: Zero Insertion Force (ZIF)
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Mating Cycles: 20

The substitute part SFV32R-2STE1HLF maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original part across all critical parameters. Differences in housing material composition, actuator color, and compliance certifications do not affect functional interchangeability in applications where the original part was specified.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SFV32R-2STE1HLF is the direct active substitute for the obsolete SFV32R-2STE1. Both connectors are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI) and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including pin count, pitch, voltage rating, current rating, operating temperature range, and physical dimensions.

The substitute part offers the following advantages:

• Active product status ensures ongoing availability and manufacturing support
• RoHS compliance aligns with current regulatory requirements
• Halogen-free housing and actuator materials meet environmental standards
• Tape & Reel packaging supports automated assembly processes

The SFV32R-2STE1HLF is functionally equivalent and suitable for direct replacement in applications originally designed for the SFV32R-2STE1. No circuit redesign or mechanical modification is required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SFV32R-2STE1HLF be used as a direct replacement for the SFV32R-2STE1?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The SFV32R-2STE1HLF maintains the same 32-position configuration, 0.50mm pitch, 50V voltage rating, 0.5A current rating, operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C, and physical height of 0.071" (1.80mm). No design changes are required.

Q: What are the differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status, material composition, and compliance certifications. The SFV32R-2STE1 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the SFV32R-2STE1HLF is an active product with RoHS compliance. The substitute uses halogen-free materials in the housing and actuator. Packaging differs: the original is supplied in bulk, while the substitute is supplied in Tape & Reel format.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with PCB layout or assembly?

A: No. Both connectors have identical mounting specifications for surface mount, right-angle applications. PCB footprints, solder pad layouts, and assembly processes remain unchanged. The Tape & Reel packaging of the substitute part is compatible with standard pick-and-place assembly equipment.

Q: Does the halogen-free material composition affect electrical performance?

A: No. The halogen-free housing and actuator materials in the SFV32R-2STE1HLF do not alter electrical performance. Voltage rating, current rating, and operating temperature specifications remain identical to the original part.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: RoHS compliance indicates the substitute part meets restrictions on hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. For new designs or applications subject to RoHS regulations, the SFV32R-2STE1HLF is the appropriate choice. For legacy systems where the original part was specified, both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent.
