Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TFC-125-02-F-D-TR is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 50
• Number of Rows: 2
• Pitch - Mating: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Insulation Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Current Rating: 3.1A per Contact
• Voltage Rating: 275VAC
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part TFC-125-02-F-D-A-K-TR maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the main part across all critical parameters. Differences are limited to non-critical features such as board guide and pick-and-place capabilities, which represent functional enhancements rather than substitution barriers.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TFC-125-02-F-D-TR and TFC-125-02-F-D-A-K-TR are Active product status components manufactured by Samtec Inc. within the Tiger Eye™ TFC series. Both parts maintain full ROHS3 compliance and carry identical electrical ratings, thermal specifications, and material certifications.

The TFC-125-02-F-D-A-K-TR includes board guide and pick-and-place features that enhance manufacturing efficiency and assembly accuracy. These features do not alter electrical or mechanical compatibility and represent functional enhancements for production environments.

Selection between these parts should be based on manufacturing process requirements and inventory availability. Both components satisfy identical electrical and mechanical interface requirements for board-to-board or cable applications operating within the specified temperature and current parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are TFC-125-02-F-D-TR and TFC-125-02-F-D-A-K-TR electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications including 3.1A per contact current rating, 275VAC voltage rating, gold-plated mating contacts, and phosphor bronze contact material. Operating temperature range, insulation material, and flammability rating are identical across both components.

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

A: The primary difference is the inclusion of board guide and pick-and-place features in the TFC-125-02-F-D-A-K-TR. These features enhance manufacturing and assembly processes but do not affect electrical performance or mechanical interface compatibility.

Q: Can I substitute TFC-125-02-F-D-A-K-TR for TFC-125-02-F-D-TR in existing designs?

A: Yes. The substitute part maintains full compatibility across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The additional board guide and pick-and-place features do not create incompatibility with existing designs.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both TFC-125-02-F-D-TR and TFC-125-02-F-D-A-K-TR are ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited).

Q: What is the pitch spacing for these connectors?

A: Both connectors feature 0.050" (1.27mm) mating pitch with 0.050" (1.27mm) row spacing, accommodating 50 positions across 2 rows.

Q: What packaging format is available for these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format suitable for automated assembly processes.
