Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TFML-115-02-SM-D-LC has one qualified substitute within the Tiger Eye™ TFML series: TFML-115-02-S-D-LC. This substitution is valid based on the following critical parameters that remain identical between both parts:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (30) and row configuration (2 rows)
• Pitch specifications (0.050" mating pitch and row spacing)
• Mounting type (Surface Mount)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Fastening type (Friction Lock)
• Insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Compliance certifications (ROHS3, UL94 V-0)

Both parts share the same base product number (TFML-115) and are manufactured by Samtec Inc. as active products with current inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TFML-115-02-SM-D-LC and TFML-115-02-S-D-LC are active products manufactured by Samtec Inc. with full ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 material flammability certification. All electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications are identical between the two parts. Selection between these connectors should be based on inventory availability and procurement lead times, as both parts meet identical functional and compliance requirements for board-to-board or cable connection applications requiring 30-position surface mount headers with 1.27mm pitch.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TFML-115-02-S-D-LC be used as a direct replacement for TFML-115-02-SM-D-LC?

A: Yes. Both parts are functionally equivalent with identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications. All critical parameters including pitch, position count, row configuration, mounting type, shrouding, termination method, and operating temperature range are identical.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by matching: connector type, contact type, number of positions and rows, mating pitch, row spacing, mounting type, shrouding configuration, termination method, fastening type, insulation material, and operating temperature range. Both parts satisfy all these criteria.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical certifications: ROHS3 compliance, UL94 V-0 material flammability rating, EAR99 export classification, and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level.

Q: What is the difference between the part numbers TFML-115-02-SM-D-LC and TFML-115-02-S-D-LC?

A: The part numbers differ only in the designation between "SM" and "S". Both parts share the same base product number (TFML-115) and are members of the Tiger Eye™ TFML series. The designation difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are both parts currently available?

A: Yes. TFML-115-02-SM-D-LC has 1043 units in stock and TFML-115-02-S-D-LC has 1028 units in stock, both listed as new original inventory.
