Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between BTE-020-01-F-D-A-TR and BTE-020-01-F-D-A is determined by packaging format alone. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications:

• 40-position configuration with 0.031" (0.80mm) pitch
• 2-row outer shroud header design
• Surface mount gold-plated contacts at 3.00µin thickness
• Identical mated stacking height of 5.03mm and board height of 0.168" (4.27mm)
• Matching RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating

The distinction lies exclusively in packaging: BTE-020-01-F-D-A-TR is supplied in Tape & Reel format, while BTE-020-01-F-D-A is supplied in Tray format. Both are manufactured by Samtec Inc. under the same base product number BTE-020 and maintain active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both BTE-020-01-F-D-A-TR and BTE-020-01-F-D-A are active products with identical compliance certifications including ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and EAR99 export classification. Selection between these parts should be based on assembly process requirements and inventory management practices. Tape & Reel packaging (BTE-020-01-F-D-A-TR) is suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly operations, while Tray packaging (BTE-020-01-F-D-A) accommodates manual assembly or alternative handling methods. Both formats maintain the same electrical performance and mechanical fit characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are BTE-020-01-F-D-A-TR and BTE-020-01-F-D-A electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical electrical specifications including 40-position configuration, 0.031" (0.80mm) pitch, gold contact finish at 3.00µin thickness, and surface mount design. The only difference is packaging format.

Q: Can I substitute BTE-020-01-F-D-A for BTE-020-01-F-D-A-TR in my assembly process?

A: Substitution is possible if your assembly process can accommodate Tray packaging instead of Tape & Reel. The connector itself is mechanically and electrically identical. Verify your pick-and-place equipment compatibility with the packaging format.

Q: Do both parts have the same compliance ratings?

A: Yes. Both BTE-020-01-F-D-A-TR and BTE-020-01-F-D-A are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export purposes. Moisture sensitivity level is 1 (unlimited) for both.

Q: What is the board height difference between these parts?

A: There is no difference. Both parts have a height above board of 0.168" (4.27mm) and mated stacking height of 5.03mm.

Q: Which packaging format should I choose for high-volume production?

A: Tape & Reel (BTE-020-01-F-D-A-TR) is optimized for automated assembly with pick-and-place equipment. Tray packaging (BTE-020-01-F-D-A) is suitable for manual assembly or alternative handling methods. Selection depends on your production equipment and process requirements.
