TFML-120-02-L-D-P-TR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TFML-120-02-L-D-P-TR is a surface mount rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc. as part of the Tiger Eye™ TFML series. This connector is an active product designed for board-to-board or cable applications with 40 positions arranged in 2 rows at 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch. The part is in active production status with full inventory availability. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the connector series, enabling component interchangeability in applications where specific contact finish or fastening configurations may vary.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TFML-120-02-L-D-P-TR is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 40
• 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
• Termination: Solder
• Insulation Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Series: Tiger Eye™ TFML

The identified substitute part TFML-120-02-L-D-K-TR maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in contact finish configuration (P vs. K designation) do not affect functional compatibility when mating with corresponding receptacle connectors designed for the TFML series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TFML-120-02-L-D-P-TR and TFML-120-02-L-D-K-TR are active products from Samtec Inc. with full ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Both parts maintain identical mechanical dimensions, electrical characteristics, and environmental operating specifications. Selection between these parts is based on contact finish requirements specific to the application's mating connector configuration. Both parts are available in Tape & Reel packaging suitable for automated assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the difference between TFML-120-02-L-D-P-TR and TFML-120-02-L-D-K-TR?

A: The parts are functionally equivalent across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The difference is indicated by the contact finish designation in the part number (P vs. K). Both maintain the same 40-position, 2-row configuration at 0.050" pitch with identical operating temperature ranges and compliance certifications.

Q: Can TFML-120-02-L-D-K-TR be used as a direct replacement for TFML-120-02-L-D-P-TR?

A: Yes, when the mating connector is compatible with the contact finish specification of the substitute part. Both parts are designed for the same board-to-board or cable applications within the Tiger Eye™ TFML series.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes, both TFML-120-02-L-D-P-TR and TFML-120-02-L-D-K-TR are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, suitable for pick-and-place assembly operations.

Q: Do both parts meet the same environmental and compliance standards?

A: Yes, both parts are ROHS3 compliant, rated UL94 V-0 for flammability, and operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 125°C with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level.

Q: What determines whether a part can substitute for TFML-120-02-L-D-P-TR?

A: Substitution requires equivalence in connector type, contact type, position count, row configuration, pitch spacing, mounting method, shrouding, termination type, insulation material, and operating temperature range. All these parameters must match exactly for functional interchangeability.
