Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts within the TFML-110-02-L-D series maintain identical core electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between the main part and substitutes is based on assembly process requirements and manufacturing capabilities:

TFML-110-02-L-D-TR is the base configuration without additional assembly features. This part is suitable for applications where standard friction lock fastening and manual assembly processes are acceptable.

TFML-110-02-L-D-LC-TR includes Board Lock feature for enhanced mechanical retention during mating operations. This configuration is appropriate for applications requiring additional mechanical security without automated assembly support.

TFML-110-02-L-D-P-TR includes Pick and Place feature to support automated assembly equipment. This configuration is suitable for high-volume manufacturing environments utilizing surface mount assembly automation.

TFML-110-02-L-D-LC-P-TR combines Board Lock and Pick and Place features, providing both mechanical retention and automated assembly capability. This configuration supports high-volume production with enhanced mating security.

TFML-110-02-L-D-A-K-TR includes Board Guide and Pick and Place features. This configuration provides assembly guidance and automated assembly support, with the highest current inventory availability at 2261 units.

All parts are Active products with ROHS3 compliance, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, confirming suitability for standard storage and handling conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are all TFML-110-02-L-D variants electrically and mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. All variants maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications including connector type, contact configuration, pitch, mating contact length, insulation height, contact materials, and operating temperature range. Differences are limited to optional assembly features that do not affect core functionality or compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between Board Lock and Board Guide features?

A: Board Lock (LC designation) provides mechanical retention to prevent accidental unmating during operation. Board Guide (A-K designation) provides assembly guidance during the mating process. These are distinct mechanical features that serve different assembly and operational requirements.

Q: Which variant should be selected for automated assembly?

A: Variants with Pick and Place feature (P designation) are designed to support automated surface mount assembly equipment. These include TFML-110-02-L-D-P-TR, TFML-110-02-L-D-LC-P-TR, and TFML-110-02-L-D-A-K-TR.

Q: Can the base TFML-110-02-L-D-TR be substituted with TFML-110-02-L-D-A-K-TR in an existing design?

A: Yes. The TFML-110-02-L-D-A-K-TR is a direct substitute with identical core specifications. The additional Board Guide and Pick and Place features do not affect compatibility with existing mating connectors or PCB layouts.

Q: What is the significance of the Tape & Reel (TR) packaging designation?

A: Tape & Reel packaging indicates the parts are supplied on continuous carrier tape wound on reels, suitable for automated assembly equipment. All variants in this series use TR packaging.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between the variants?

A: No. All variants share identical RoHS3 compliance status, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, ECCN EAR99 classification, and HTSUS code 8536.69.4040.
