Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain identical core electrical and mechanical specifications with the TFML-120-02-S-D-TR. Selection among these parts is based on:

Product Status & Compliance: All parts are Active products with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating, meeting equivalent regulatory requirements.

Feature Differentiation: The TFML-120-02-S-D-TR provides standard functionality. The TFML-120-02-S-D-P-TR adds pick-and-place features. The TFML-120-02-S-D-A-P-TR and TFML-120-02-S-D-A-K-TR include both board guide and pick-and-place enhancements, which support automated assembly processes without affecting mating or electrical performance.

Availability: Inventory levels vary across the substitute parts. TFML-120-02-S-D-A-P-TR offers the highest stock (1229 units), followed by TFML-120-02-S-D-A-K-TR (1160 units), TFML-120-02-S-D-TR (1006 units), and TFML-120-02-S-D-P-TR (709 units).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are all substitute parts electrically and mechanically equivalent to the TFML-120-02-S-D-TR?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain identical pitch (0.050"), position count (40), row configuration (2 rows), contact materials, finishes, operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), and flammability rating (UL94 V-0). They are direct functional equivalents.

Q: What is the difference between the standard TFML-120-02-S-D-TR and the variants with board guide and pick-and-place features?

A: The core connector specifications remain identical. The TFML-120-02-S-D-A-P-TR and TFML-120-02-S-D-A-K-TR include board guide and pick-and-place features that facilitate automated assembly and component placement. These features do not alter electrical performance or mating characteristics.

Q: Can I use TFML-120-02-S-D-A-P-TR or TFML-120-02-S-D-A-K-TR as a direct replacement for TFML-120-02-S-D-TR?

A: Yes. All parts share identical mating pitch, contact configuration, shrouding, termination method, and operating specifications. The additional features in the substitute parts are compatible with existing board designs.

Q: Are all parts packaged in Tape & Reel format?

A: Yes. All parts listed are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging for automated assembly processes.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. All parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). They meet equivalent regulatory and environmental requirements.

Q: Which substitute part should I select if I need the highest inventory availability?

A: TFML-120-02-S-D-A-P-TR offers the highest stock level at 1229 units, while maintaining full electrical and mechanical equivalence to the primary part.
