Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TFC-115-02-L-D is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (30)
• Number of rows (2)
• Pitch spacing (0.050" / 1.27mm)
• Row spacing (0.050" / 1.27mm)
• Mounting type (Surface Mount)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Current rating (3.1A per Contact)
• Voltage rating (275VAC)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Contact finish - mating (Gold)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• RoHS compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant)

The substitute part TFC-115-02-L-D-A meets all these criteria and is therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the main part number.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TFC-115-02-L-D and TFC-115-02-L-D-A are active production parts from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 material flammability certification, meeting regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications. The TFC-115-02-L-D-A includes a board guide feature not specified in the main part number. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements regarding the board guide feature and current inventory availability.
