Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TFML-107-02-L-D-LC is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 14
• 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
• Fastening Type: Friction Lock
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Insulation Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

Substitute parts must maintain all these parameters identically. Variations in secondary features such as board lock versus board guide do not affect substitution eligibility when all primary electrical and mechanical parameters remain constant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TFML-107-02-L-D-LC and TFML-107-02-L-D-A are Active status products from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The primary distinction between these parts is the board retention feature: the TFML-107-02-L-D-LC incorporates board lock functionality, while the TFML-107-02-L-D-A provides board guide functionality. Selection between these parts depends on the specific board retention requirement of the application. Both parts maintain equivalent performance across all critical parameters including pitch, contact configuration, temperature range, and material composition.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TFML-107-02-L-D-A be used as a direct replacement for TFML-107-02-L-D-LC?

A: Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications including pitch, number of positions, contact material, operating temperature range, and compliance certifications. The difference lies in board retention: TFML-107-02-L-D-LC uses board lock while TFML-107-02-L-D-A uses board guide. Substitution is valid when the application does not require the specific board lock feature.

Q: What is the significance of the board lock versus board guide feature?

A: Board lock and board guide are mechanical retention features. Board lock provides positive locking engagement with the mating connector, while board guide provides alignment without positive locking. The choice depends on application requirements for connector retention and ease of disconnection.

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

A: Yes. Both TFML-107-02-L-D-LC and TFML-107-02-L-D-A operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and have MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level.

Q: What is the pitch specification for these connectors?

A: Both parts feature a 0.050" (1.27mm) mating pitch with 0.050" (1.27mm) row spacing, providing a 14-position configuration in 2 rows.

Q: Are these parts available in different packaging options?

A: Both parts are supplied in tube packaging. Inventory availability differs: TFML-107-02-L-D-LC has 770 pcs in stock, while TFML-107-02-L-D-A has 1000 pcs in stock.
