Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

All substitute parts for the TFM-130-02-L-D maintain identical core electrical and mechanical specifications: 60-position, dual-row header with 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch, surface mount solder termination, push-pull fastening, and shrouded 4-wall design. Substitution is determined by feature differentiation rather than performance variation. The following features distinguish substitute variants:

Feature-Based Grouping:

• TFM-130-02-L-D-DS: Mating Flange feature
• TFM-130-02-L-D-LC: Board Lock feature
• TFM-130-02-L-D-WT: Solder Retention feature
• TFM-130-02-L-D-WT-K: Pick and Place and Solder Retention features
• TFM-130-02-L-D-A: Board Guide feature

All substitute parts share the same base product number (TFM-130), series designation, contact configuration, electrical ratings, temperature range, compliance certifications, and packaging specifications as the primary part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts are active production items manufactured by Samtec Inc. and maintain full compliance with ROHS3 and UL94 V-0 flammability standards. Selection between the primary part and substitutes is based on application-specific feature requirements:

TFM-130-02-L-D-DS (Mating Flange): Select when mechanical alignment and strain relief at the mating interface are required.

TFM-130-02-L-D-LC (Board Lock): Select when positive mechanical retention and prevention of accidental disconnection during operation are design requirements.

TFM-130-02-L-D-WT (Solder Retention): Select when enhanced solder joint reliability and prevention of component shift during reflow processing are necessary.

TFM-130-02-L-D-WT-K (Pick and Place, Solder Retention): Select for automated assembly environments requiring both pick-and-place compatibility and solder retention during thermal processing.

TFM-130-02-L-D-A (Board Guide): Select when guided insertion and alignment during mating operations are required.

All parts share identical electrical performance, thermal ratings, contact specifications, and compliance certifications. Inventory availability is consistent across all variants, with TFM-130-02-L-D-WT-K offering the highest stock level (1187 pcs).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are all substitute parts electrically interchangeable with the TFM-130-02-L-D?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications including 2.9A per contact current rating, 275VAC voltage rating, contact material (Phosphor Bronze), contact finish (Gold mating / Tin post), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C).

Q: What is the difference between the substitute parts?

A: Substitute parts differ only in mechanical features. The primary part (TFM-130-02-L-D) has no additional features. Variants add specific mechanical enhancements: mating flange, board lock, solder retention, pick-and-place compatibility, or board guide functionality. All other specifications remain identical.

Q: Can I use TFM-130-02-L-D-WT-K as a direct replacement for TFM-130-02-L-D?

A: Yes, from an electrical and mechanical compatibility standpoint. The TFM-130-02-L-D-WT-K includes pick-and-place and solder retention features that are additive and do not affect mating or electrical performance. However, PCB footprint and assembly process compatibility should be confirmed for your specific application.

Q: Are all parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All parts listed are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Moisture sensitivity level is 1 (Unlimited) for all variants.

Q: Which substitute should I select for high-volume automated assembly?

A: TFM-130-02-L-D-WT-K is optimized for automated assembly with pick-and-place compatibility and solder retention features. It also offers the highest current inventory (1187 pcs).

Q: Do the substitute parts have different packaging?

A: No. All parts are packaged in tubes, consistent with the primary part specification.
