Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The BSH-120-01-L-D-A-TR and its substitute BSH-120-01-L-D-A are functionally equivalent connectors that differ only in packaging format. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 240-position configuration, 0.020" (0.50mm) pitch, 2-row layout, surface mount technology, gold contact finish at 10.0µin thickness, and board guide features. The substitution is valid based on the following key parameters remaining constant:

• Number of Positions: 240
• Pitch: 0.020" (0.50mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Connector Type: Socket, Center Strip Contacts
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Contact Finish Thickness: 10.0µin (0.25µm)
• Mated Stacking Height: 5mm
• Height Above Board: 0.128" (3.25mm)
• Features: Board Guide

The only difference between these parts is the packaging method: BSH-120-01-L-D-A-TR is supplied in Tape & Reel format, while BSH-120-01-L-D-A is supplied in Tray format. Both maintain identical compliance certifications and product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the BSH-120-01-L-D-A-TR and BSH-120-01-L-D-A are Active product status components with identical ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and assembly process specifications. The Tape & Reel format (BSH-120-01-L-D-A-TR) is suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly operations, while the Tray format (BSH-120-01-L-D-A) accommodates manual assembly or alternative handling procedures. Both parts maintain MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity, eliminating moisture-related storage or handling constraints. The electrical and mechanical performance characteristics are identical across all specified parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are BSH-120-01-L-D-A-TR and BSH-120-01-L-D-A electrically identical?
