Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the BTE-020-01-L-D-A-K are identified based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: 40
• Pitch: 0.031" (0.80mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Connector Type: Header, Outer Shroud Contacts
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Contact Finish Thickness: 10.0µin (0.25µm)
• Height Above Board: 0.168" (4.27mm)
• Mated Stacking Heights: 5.03mm
• Features: Board Guide
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• MSL: 1 (Unlimited)

Substitutes differ only in packaging configuration (Tray versus Tape & Reel) or minor suffix variations that do not affect electrical or mechanical performance. All substitute parts maintain identical connector specifications and compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—BTE-020-01-L-D-A-K, BTE-020-01-L-D-A-K-TR, and BTE-020-01-L-D-A—are Active product status and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging and supply chain requirements:

BTE-020-01-L-D-A-K (Tray packaging) is suitable for applications requiring standard tray quantities and manual assembly processes.

BTE-020-01-L-D-A-K-TR (Tape & Reel packaging) is designated as the manufacturer-recommended substitute and is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly operations. This packaging format provides higher inventory availability (2187 pcs in stock).

BTE-020-01-L-D-A (Tray packaging) is a parametric equivalent offering identical connector specifications with alternative suffix designation.

All parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity requirements. Component selection should be based on assembly methodology and procurement volume requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BTE-020-01-L-D-A-K be directly replaced with BTE-020-01-L-D-A-K-TR?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The difference is packaging format: BTE-020-01-L-D-A-K uses Tray packaging, while BTE-020-01-L-D-A-K-TR uses Tape & Reel packaging. Selection depends on assembly equipment compatibility and production volume.

Q: What is the difference between BTE-020-01-L-D-A-K and BTE-020-01-L-D-A?
