Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for FFC/FPC connectors is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Number of positions (5 positions)
• Pitch spacing (1.00mm)
• Mounting type (Surface Mount)
• Connector orientation (Vertical - 1 Sided)
• Voltage and current ratings (100V, 1A)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C)
• Contact material and finish (Phosphor Bronze, Tin)
• Housing material (Thermoplastic, Glass Filled)
• Mechanical height above board (5.30mm)
• Compliance certifications (RoHS, UL94 V-0)

The substitute part SFW5S-2STE1LF maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, confirming functional interchangeability within the SFW series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SFW5S-2STME1LF and SFW5S-2STE1LF are active production parts from Amphenol ICC (FCI) with identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and compliance certifications. Selection between these parts is based on inventory availability and supply chain considerations. The SFW5S-2STE1LF offers higher stock levels (4641 units) compared to the main part (1984 units), providing improved procurement flexibility. Both parts meet RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability requirements, suitable for applications requiring regulatory adherence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if a part can substitute for the SFW5S-2STME1LF?

A: Substitution requires equivalence across all critical parameters: 5-position configuration, 1.00mm pitch, surface mount orientation, 100V/1A ratings, -55°C to 105°C operating range, phosphor bronze tin-plated contacts, thermoplastic glass-filled housing, 5.30mm height above board, and identical compliance certifications (RoHS, UL94 V-0).

Q: Are the SFW5S-2STME1LF and SFW5S-2STE1LF mechanically compatible?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications including pitch spacing, mounting height, contact configuration, and housing dimensions, ensuring direct compatibility in PCB layouts.

Q: What is the significance of the Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) feature?

A: ZIF operation allows cable insertion and removal without applying external force, reducing mechanical stress on contacts and improving assembly efficiency. Both substitute parts maintain this feature.

Q: Are there any differences in electrical performance between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are rated for 100V and 1A per contact with identical operating temperature ranges and contact materials, ensuring equivalent electrical performance in circuit applications.

Q: How does inventory availability affect part selection?

A: While both parts are functionally equivalent, the SFW5S-2STE1LF has higher stock availability (4641 units versus 1984 units), which may influence procurement timelines and supply chain planning.
