Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TFML-130-02-L-D is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pin contacts
• Position Count & Row Configuration: 60 positions in 2-row arrangement
• Pitch Specifications: 0.050" (1.27mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Surface mount with solder termination
• Mechanical Design: Shrouded 4-wall construction with friction lock fastening
• Material & Environmental Compliance: Phosphor bronze contacts, LCP insulation, UL94 V-0 rating, ROHS3 compliance

The TFML-130-02-L-D-LC qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters across all critical dimensions. The addition of Board Lock feature in the substitute part represents an enhancement that does not compromise compatibility with applications designed for the base model.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TFML-130-02-L-D and TFML-130-02-L-D-LC maintain Active product status with full compliance to ROHS3 and UL94 V-0 flammability standards. Selection between these parts is based on application requirements:

TFML-130-02-L-D is appropriate for applications where standard friction lock fastening meets mechanical retention requirements and cost optimization is prioritized.

TFML-130-02-L-D-LC is appropriate for applications requiring enhanced mechanical retention through Board Lock feature, providing additional security in high-vibration or high-shock environments while maintaining identical electrical and thermal performance.

Both parts are certified for identical operating temperature ranges (-55°C ~ 125°C) and moisture sensitivity classifications (MSL 1). Inventory availability supports either selection without supply chain constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TFML-130-02-L-D-LC be used as a direct replacement for TFML-130-02-L-D?

A: Yes. The TFML-130-02-L-D-LC is a direct substitute. All electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters are identical. The Board Lock feature is an enhancement that does not affect compatibility with mating connectors or PCB footprints designed for the base model.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary difference is the addition of Board Lock feature in the TFML-130-02-L-D-LC. Both parts share identical pitch (0.050"), position count (60), row configuration (2), contact materials, insulation specifications, and operating temperature range. The Board Lock provides additional mechanical retention without altering electrical performance.

Q: Are the PCB footprints identical?

A: Yes. Both parts use identical surface mount footprints, shrouding dimensions, and solder pad configurations. PCB designs do not require modification when substituting between these parts.

Q: Do these parts have the same mating connector compatibility?

A: Yes. Both headers are compatible with identical mating receptacles designed for the Tiger Eye™ TFML series at 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch with 60-position, 2-row configuration.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: TFML-130-02-L-D has 738 pcs in stock. TFML-130-02-L-D-LC has 799 pcs in stock. Both parts are available for immediate procurement.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both TFML-130-02-L-D and TFML-130-02-L-D-LC are ROHS3 compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification.
