Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the BSH-120-01-H-D-A are identified based on equivalence in the following critical parameters: connector type, number of positions, pitch, number of rows, mounting type, contact finish, contact finish thickness, mated stacking height, height above board, and board guide feature. The BSH-120-01-H-D-A-TR is classified as a manufacturer recommended substitute and differs only in packaging configuration. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring direct interchangeability at the board level. The substitution is valid based on packaging type variation (Tray versus Tape & Reel) while maintaining all functional and dimensional characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both BSH-120-01-H-D-A and BSH-120-01-H-D-A-TR are Active status products from Samtec Inc. and maintain full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts is determined by procurement and assembly requirements rather than functional compatibility. The Tray packaging (BSH-120-01-H-D-A) is suitable for manual handling and lower-volume applications. The Tape & Reel packaging (BSH-120-01-H-D-A-TR) is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly processes and higher-volume production runs. Both configurations deliver identical electrical performance and mechanical fit on the PCB.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are BSH-120-01-H-D-A and BSH-120-01-H-D-A-TR electrically and mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in all electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector type, position count, pitch, contact finish, and board-level dimensions. The only difference is packaging format.

Q: What is the difference between Tray and Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Tray packaging is used for manual component handling and lower-volume assembly. Tape & Reel packaging is designed for automated assembly equipment and higher-volume production. The component itself is identical.

Q: Can I use BSH-120-01-H-D-A-TR in place of BSH-120-01-H-D-A in my design?

A: Yes, provided your assembly process supports Tape & Reel format. The component specifications and PCB footprint are identical.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, both BSH-120-01-H-D-A and BSH-120-01-H-D-A-TR are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the MSL rating for these connectors?

A: Both parts have an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
