Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TFML-110-02-SM-D-A has one qualified substitute within the Tiger Eye™ TFML series: TFML-110-02-S-D-A. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain identical:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (20)
• Number of rows (2)
• Pitch - mating (0.050" / 1.27mm)
• Row spacing - mating (0.050" / 1.27mm)
• Mounting type (Surface Mount)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• RoHS compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant)

The substitute part maintains all electrical and mechanical specifications required for direct functional replacement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TFML-110-02-SM-D-A and TFML-110-02-S-D-A are active production parts with full ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and procurement requirements. The TFML-110-02-S-D-A currently has higher stock levels (1572 units versus 819 units), which may provide advantages for extended production runs or expedited delivery schedules. Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and operate across the full -55°C to 125°C temperature range. No performance or compatibility differences exist between these alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TFML-110-02-S-D-A be used as a direct replacement for TFML-110-02-SM-D-A?

A: Yes. Both parts are functionally equivalent. All electrical parameters, mechanical dimensions, contact specifications, and material properties are identical. No circuit redesign or PCB layout modification is required.

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

A: The parts are from the same Tiger Eye™ TFML series and share identical specifications. The difference in part numbering reflects internal Samtec designation but does not indicate functional variation.

Q: Are there any temperature or environmental limitations that differ between these parts?

A: No. Both parts operate across -55°C to 125°C and maintain identical material flammability ratings (UL94 V-0) and moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1 - Unlimited).

Q: Do these parts require different PCB footprints?

A: No. Both parts are surface mount connectors with identical pitch (0.050" / 1.27mm), row spacing (0.050" / 1.27mm), and mounting specifications. PCB footprints are interchangeable.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both TFML-110-02-SM-D-A and TFML-110-02-S-D-A are ROHS3 compliant with identical contact finishes and materials.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Either part is suitable for new designs. Selection may be based on current inventory levels, supplier availability, or procurement lead times. Both maintain active production status.
