Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BSS-025-01-F-D-A-TR is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Number of positions: 50
• Pitch specification: 0.025" (0.64mm)
• Number of rows: 2
• Connector type: Socket with center strip contacts
• Mounting type: Surface mount
• Contact finish: Gold at 3.00µin thickness
• Mated stacking height: 5mm
• Height above board: 0.135" (3.43mm)
• Board guide feature presence
• RoHS3 compliance
• MSL rating: 1

The primary difference between the main part and its substitute relates to packaging format only. The BSS-025-01-F-D-A-TR is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while the substitute part BSS-025-01-F-D-A is supplied in Tray format. All electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications remain identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the BSS-025-01-F-D-A-TR and BSS-025-01-F-D-A are Active product status components manufactured by Samtec Inc. and maintain full ROHS3 compliance. The selection between these parts should be based on assembly process requirements and packaging handling capabilities.

The Tape & Reel (TR) format of the BSS-025-01-F-D-A-TR is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly operations. The Tray format of the BSS-025-01-F-D-A is suitable for manual assembly or alternative handling systems. Both packaging formats preserve identical component specifications and performance characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BSS-025-01-F-D-A be used as a direct replacement for BSS-025-01-F-D-A-TR?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The difference is packaging format only. BSS-025-01-F-D-A uses Tray packaging while BSS-025-01-F-D-A-TR uses Tape & Reel packaging. Substitution is valid provided your assembly process accommodates the Tray format.

Q: What determines compatibility between these connector parts?

A: Compatibility is determined by matching position count (50), pitch (0.025"), row configuration (2), connector type (socket with center strip contacts), mounting method (surface mount), contact finish (gold at 3.00µin), stacking height (5mm), and board height (0.135"). Both parts meet these criteria identically.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS3 compliance status, MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), and Active product status. Environmental and regulatory certifications are equivalent.

Q: Does packaging format affect component performance?

A: No. Packaging format affects only handling, storage, and assembly process compatibility. Electrical and mechanical performance of the connector itself remains unchanged between Tape & Reel and Tray formats.

Q: What should I consider when selecting between these packaging options?

A: Consider your assembly equipment capabilities. Tape & Reel format integrates with automated pick-and-place systems. Tray format is suitable for manual assembly or alternative handling methods. Both formats maintain identical component specifications and reliability.
