Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TFC-115-01-L-D are identified based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the Tiger Eye™ TFC series. The substitution criteria are strictly limited to the following parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (30)
• Number of rows (2)
• Pitch spacing (0.050" / 1.27mm mating and row spacing)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Contact finish specifications (Gold mating, Tin post)
• Current and voltage ratings (3.1A per contact, 275VAC)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Material compliance (ROHS3, UL94 V-0)

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as direct substitutes. Variations in secondary features such as board guide presence do not disqualify substitution eligibility when all primary electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TFC-115-01-L-D and TFC-115-01-L-D-A are active production parts from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on design requirements and application constraints:

The TFC-115-01-L-D-A includes a board guide feature not present in the TFC-115-01-L-D. This feature provides mechanical alignment assistance during board assembly but does not alter electrical performance or contact specifications.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating, meeting regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications. Current and voltage ratings remain constant across both variants, supporting identical load conditions.

Selection should be based on PCB layout requirements and assembly process specifications. The board guide feature in the TFC-115-01-L-D-A may be beneficial for high-volume manufacturing environments requiring enhanced alignment precision.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TFC-115-01-L-D-A be used as a direct replacement for TFC-115-01-L-D?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, contact configurations, pitch spacing, and current/voltage ratings. The primary difference is the presence of a board guide feature in the TFC-115-01-L-D-A, which does not affect electrical compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the board guide feature in TFC-115-01-L-D-A?

A: The board guide provides mechanical alignment assistance during PCB assembly. It does not alter electrical performance, contact specifications, or mating characteristics. Its inclusion is a mechanical design consideration for manufacturing processes.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both TFC-115-01-L-D and TFC-115-01-L-D-A operate across -55°C to 125°C, supporting identical thermal requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, UL94 V-0 rated, and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification.

Q: What is the pitch spacing for these connectors?

A: Both parts feature 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch spacing for both mating contact alignment and row-to-row spacing in the 2-row configuration.

Q: Are there inventory considerations when selecting between these parts?

A: TFC-115-01-L-D has 877 pieces in stock, while TFC-115-01-L-D-A has 1036 pieces in stock. Availability may influence selection for time-sensitive applications.
