Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

• Number of positions: 6
• Pitch specification: 0.039" (1.00mm)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Connector orientation: Vertical - 1 Sided
• Voltage rating: 100V minimum
• Current rating: 1A minimum
• Height above board: 0.209" (5.30mm)
• Material flammability: UL94 V-0
• Termination method: Solder
• Contact material: Phosphor Bronze
• Housing material: Thermoplastic, Glass Filled

The substitute part SFW6S-2STME1LF meets all critical dimensional and electrical parameters required for direct functional equivalence. Both parts share the same base product number (SFW6S), manufacturer, and core specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

SFW6S-2STME1LF is the direct functional equivalent for SFW6S-2STME1 applications. The substitute part maintains all critical electrical and mechanical specifications required for pin-for-pin compatibility.

Key selection factors:

• SFW6S-2STME1LF is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.
• SFW6S-2STME1LF achieves RoHS compliance, whereas the original part does not. This distinction is significant for applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements.
• SFW6S-2STME1LF supports an extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C) compared to the original part (-55°C ~ 85°C), providing additional thermal margin for demanding environments.
• Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI) and share identical base product designation, ensuring consistent quality and performance standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SFW6S-2STME1LF be used as a direct replacement for SFW6S-2STME1?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical position count (6), pitch (1.00mm), mounting type (surface mount), voltage rating (100V), current rating (1A), and physical height (5.30mm). All critical mechanical and electrical parameters align for direct substitution.

Q: What are the differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status, RoHS compliance, and operating temperature range. SFW6S-2STME1LF is active production with RoHS compliance and supports -55°C ~ 105°C operation, while SFW6S-2STME1 is obsolete, RoHS non-compliant, and rated to -55°C ~ 85°C. The substitute also omits the slide lock feature present in the original part.

Q: Does the absence of the slide lock feature in SFW6S-2STME1LF affect compatibility?

A: The slide lock is a mechanical retention feature. If your application design does not require this specific locking mechanism, the absence does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility. Verify your PCB design and assembly process requirements before selection.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: SFW6S-2STME1LF is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. Confirm packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly workflow.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: SFW6S-2STME1LF is the appropriate selection for new designs. It offers active production status, RoHS compliance, and extended temperature range, providing superior long-term support and regulatory alignment.
