TFC-115-12-L-D Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The Samtec Inc. TFC-115-12-L-D is a rectangular connector header from the Tiger Eye™ TFC series, designed for board-to-board or cable applications. It features a surface mount configuration with 30 male pin positions, a pitch of 0.050" (1.27mm), and shrouded 4-wall construction. This product is RoHS3 compliant and carries a status of active. In electronic product design, there may be requirements for alternative models due to supply chain constraints, inventory allocation, assembly preferences, or specification matches. Identifying suitable substitutes is necessary to ensure compatibility in electrical, mechanical, and operational parameters within this connector category.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for TFC-115-12-L-D are determined strictly by matching the following parameters: manufacturer, connector type, number of positions, number of rows, pitch, row spacing, shrouding, mounting type, termination, fastening type, mating contact length, insulation height, electrical ratings (current and voltage), contact material and finish, insulation material, material flammability rating, operating temperature, and compliance certifications. Only components with matching or explicitly stated variations in these parameters are included in the substitute group.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute models provided are active status and are RoHS3 compliant. Samtec Tiger Eye™ TFC series maintains uniform compliance and material certifications across the listed models. Each part adheres to the stated Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1 (Unlimited), and maintains UL94 V-0 flammability rating and compatibility with lead-free/RoHS assembly environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the most critical parameters when selecting a substitute for TFC-115-12-L-D?
A1: Critical parameters include the number of positions, number of rows, pitch, row spacing, shrouding, mounting type, electrical ratings, operating temperature, material compliance (RoHS), and mechanical outline features.

Q2: Are the substitutes mechanically compatible with the original part?
A2: All listed substitutes have matching or specified values for mounting type, shrouding, pin configuration, and termination style. Most maintain identical insulation heights except the TFC-115-32-L-D-A, which has increased insulation height.

Q3: Is there any difference in current or voltage rating among substitutes?
A3: Current rating remains consistent at 3.1A per contact for all listed substitutes. The voltage rating for substitutes TFC-115-12-L-D-A, TFC-115-12-L-D-A-K, and TFC-115-32-L-D-A is 275VAC, compared to 350VAC for TFC-115-12-L-D.

Q4: Are moisture sensitivity and material safety standards the same for substitutes?
A4: All substitutes and the original part are rated Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 (Unlimited) and have UL94 V-0 flammability ratings.

Q5: Do packaging or shipment conditions differ between the models?
A5: All models are supplied in tube packaging as specified.

Q6: Can these substitutes be intermixed in the same application?
A6: Provided key parameters are met within the application, substitutes with matching electrical, mechanical, and compliance properties are compatible for intermixing.

Q7: Is the compliance with RoHS consistent for all substitutes?
A7: All substitutes are RoHS3 compliant as specified.
