Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 62684-502100ALF qualifies as an equivalent based on the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

Matching Parameters (Substitution Basis):

• Number of Positions: 50
• Pitch: 0.020" (0.50mm)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, Right Angle
• Connector/Contact Type: Contacts, Top
• Termination: Solder
• FFC, FPC Thickness: 0.30mm
• Locking Feature: Slide Lock
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

Variant Parameters (Non-Critical Differences):

• Flat Flex Type: FFC, FPC (main) vs. FPC (substitute)
• Height Above Board: 0.071" (1.80mm) vs. 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Housing Material: PA6T vs. PA9T
• Actuator Material: PPS vs. Thermoplastic
• Cable End Type: Straight or Tapered vs. Tapered
• Housing/Actuator Color: Black/White vs. Beige/Beige

The substitute part maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for connector function while offering improved product status and compliance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 62684-502100ALF is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete SFVH50R-2STBE1. Selection of this substitute part is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The substitute part maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete main part.

Compliance: The substitute part is RoHS Compliant and REACH Affected, meeting current regulatory requirements for new designs and production. The main part is RoHS non-compliant, which may restrict its use in regulated applications.

Certifications: Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 material flammability rating and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification, ensuring equivalent environmental performance.

Mechanical Compatibility: The substitute part exhibits a 0.008" (0.20mm) increase in height above board. Design verification is required to confirm clearance in applications with height constraints.

Material Specification: The substitute part uses PA9T housing material versus PA6T in the main part. Both are glass-filled polyamide materials with equivalent flammability ratings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the SFVH50R-2STBE1 and 62684-502100ALF mechanically interchangeable?

A: The parts are mechanically compatible for the same 50-position, 0.5mm pitch FPC connector footprint. The substitute part has a 0.20mm greater height above board (2.00mm vs. 1.80mm). Verify clearance in your specific PCB assembly design before implementation.

Q: What is the difference between FFC and FPC connector types?

A: FFC (Flat Flexible Cable) connectors accommodate both FFC and FPC cables. FPC (Flat Polyimide Cable) connectors are designed specifically for FPC cables. The main part supports both FFC and FPC; the substitute part supports FPC only. Confirm your cable type before substitution.

Q: Does the substitute part meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. The 62684-502100ALF is RoHS Compliant, whereas the main part SFVH50R-2STBE1 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the substitute part is the appropriate selection.

Q: What is the significance of the REACH Affected status on the substitute part?

A: REACH Affected indicates the substitute part is subject to REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) regulations. This is standard for active production parts and does not indicate a restriction; it confirms regulatory tracking and compliance documentation are maintained by the manufacturer.

Q: Can I use the substitute part in existing designs originally specified for the SFVH50R-2STBE1?

A: The substitute part is functionally equivalent for the critical connector parameters (50 positions, 0.5mm pitch, right-angle surface mount, solder termination, slide lock). Verify the 0.20mm height difference does not create clearance issues in your specific assembly. No other design modifications are required.

Q: What is the packaging format for both parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes.
