Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SMM-116-02-SM-S-P-TR is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Position Count: Must be a 16-position receptacle
• Pitch Specification: Must maintain 0.079" (2.00mm) mating pitch
• Mounting Technology: Must be surface mount compatible
• Electrical Performance: Must support 3.2A per contact and 350VAC rating
• Contact Material & Finish: Must use beryllium copper with gold mating contact finish
• Fastening Mechanism: Must feature push-pull fastening
• Environmental Compliance: Must maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and operating temperature range of -55°C ~ 125°C
• Series Compatibility: Must belong to the Tiger Eye™ SMM series

The substitute part SMM-116-02-S-S-K-TR meets all these criteria and is therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the main part number.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SMM-116-02-SM-S-P-TR and SMM-116-02-S-S-K-TR are active production parts with full ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts may be based on inventory availability and supply chain considerations. The SMM-116-02-S-S-K-TR currently maintains higher inventory levels (4188 pcs vs. 1122 pcs), which may provide supply chain advantages. Both parts carry identical regulatory certifications (EAR99, HTSUS 8536.69.4040) and moisture sensitivity ratings (MSL 1). No technical performance differentiation exists between these two part numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are SMM-116-02-SM-S-P-TR and SMM-116-02-S-S-K-TR electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are 16-position receptacles with identical electrical ratings (3.2A per contact, 350VAC), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), and contact materials (beryllium copper with gold finish). They are electrically equivalent.

Q: Are these connectors mechanically compatible?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications: 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch, surface mount configuration, push-pull fastening, and LCP insulation. They are mechanically interchangeable.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications. Moisture sensitivity level is MSL 1 (Unlimited) for both.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The part numbers differ in their internal designation codes, but all provided electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters are identical. The difference lies in manufacturing batch or configuration codes that do not affect functional performance or interchangeability.

Q: Can I substitute one part for the other in existing designs?

A: Yes. Since all critical parameters—pitch, position count, current rating, voltage rating, operating temperature, contact finish, and fastening type—are identical, direct substitution is supported without design modification.

Q: Are there any packaging differences?

A: Both parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly operations.
