Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SFW5R-2STAE9LF is classified as obsolete. When sourcing this connector, the following considerations apply:

• Compliance: The part maintains RoHS compliance, suitable for applications requiring regulatory adherence.
• Inventory Status: 1,075 pieces are currently available as new original stock, providing immediate availability for production and replacement applications.
• Obsolescence Management: For new designs or long-term production planning, evaluation of current-generation FPC connectors with equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications is recommended to ensure sustained supply chain viability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes a part a suitable substitute for the SFW5R-2STAE9LF?

A: A substitute must match all critical parameters: 5 positions, 1.00mm pitch, surface mount right-angle configuration, top-contact design, 2.70mm height above board, 100V voltage rating, 1A current rating, -55°C to 105°C operating range, solder termination, slide lock feature, 0.33mm FFC thickness, and RoHS compliance.

Q: Why is the SFW5R-2STAE9LF classified as obsolete?

A: Product status reflects manufacturer discontinuation. However, current inventory of 1,075 pieces is available for immediate use in production and maintenance applications.

Q: Are there dimensional compatibility concerns when selecting a substitute?

A: Yes. The 2.70mm height above board and 1.00mm pitch are critical for PCB layout compatibility. Any substitute must maintain these exact dimensions to ensure proper mating with corresponding FPC cables and board-level receptacles.

Q: What is the significance of the slide lock feature?

A: The slide lock mechanism provides mechanical retention of the FPC cable within the connector. Substitutes must include this feature to maintain assembly integrity and prevent accidental cable displacement.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect substitute selection?

A: Yes. For applications requiring regulatory compliance, substitute parts must maintain RoHS compliant status to meet environmental and safety standards.
