Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution within the T1M-02 base product family is determined by electrical and mechanical compatibility. The following parameters must remain constant for direct substitution:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (2)
• Pitch - mating (0.039" / 1.00mm)
• Mounting type (Surface Mount, Right Angle)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Current rating (3.3A per Contact)
• Voltage rating (250VAC, 353VDC)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C)
• Material compliance (ROHS3, UL94 V-0)

Variations permitted between substitute parts include packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) and insulation color, which do not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both T1M-02-GF-S-RA-TR and T1M-02-F-SH-L-K are active production parts from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging and supply chain requirements rather than functional performance.

T1M-02-GF-S-RA-TR is supplied in Tape & Reel format, suitable for high-volume automated assembly processes. T1M-02-F-SH-L-K is supplied in Cut Tape format, appropriate for lower-volume applications or manual assembly workflows. Both parts meet ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. Insulation color differs (Black versus Natural) but does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can T1M-02-F-SH-L-K be used as a direct replacement for T1M-02-GF-S-RA-TR?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (3.3A per contact, 250VAC/353VDC), mechanical dimensions, contact configuration (2 positions at 1.00mm pitch), and material specifications. The primary difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) and insulation color, neither of which affects functional compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference between these parts?

A: Tape & Reel packaging is optimized for high-speed automated pick-and-place assembly. Cut Tape packaging is suitable for manual assembly, lower-volume production, or applications where individual component handling is required. Electrical and mechanical performance are identical.

Q: Are there any temperature or voltage limitations when substituting between these parts?

A: No. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range (-55°C to 85°C) and voltage rating (250VAC, 353VDC). Substitution does not introduce any thermal or electrical constraints.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both T1M-02-GF-S-RA-TR and T1M-02-F-SH-L-K are ROHS3 compliant, UL94 V-0 rated, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes.

Q: Does insulation color affect connector performance?

A: No. Insulation color is a visual identifier only and does not affect electrical performance, mechanical fit, or environmental resistance. The choice between Black and Natural insulation is based on assembly documentation or visual identification requirements.
