Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the BTE-020-01-L-D-A-TR are determined by equivalence in the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: 40
• Pitch: 0.031" (0.80mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• 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
• Connector Type: Header, Outer Shroud Contacts

Substitutes differ only in packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Tray) or minor contact configuration variants that do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. All substitute parts maintain identical connector specifications and are manufactured by Samtec Inc. within the same BTE series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—BTE-020-01-L-D-A-TR, BTE-020-01-L-D-A, and BTE-020-01-L-D-A-K-TR—are Active status products manufactured by Samtec Inc. and maintain full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging requirements and assembly process specifications rather than electrical or mechanical performance differences.

BTE-020-01-L-D-A-TR and BTE-020-01-L-D-A-K-TR are supplied in Tape & Reel format, suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly operations. BTE-020-01-L-D-A is supplied in Tray packaging, appropriate for manual assembly or alternative handling processes. All parts share identical connector specifications, contact configurations, and compliance certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BTE-020-01-L-D-A be used as a direct substitute for BTE-020-01-L-D-A-TR?

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

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

A: Both parts use Tape & Reel packaging and are electrically and mechanically equivalent. The "-K-" designation in BTE-020-01-L-D-A-K-TR indicates a minor contact configuration variant that does not affect compatibility or performance. Both are suitable for automated assembly.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. BTE-020-01-L-D-A-TR, BTE-020-01-L-D-A, and BTE-020-01-L-D-A-K-TR are all ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: Which part should be selected for high-volume automated assembly?

A: BTE-020-01-L-D-A-TR or BTE-020-01-L-D-A-K-TR are recommended for automated pick-and-place assembly due to Tape & Reel packaging format. BTE-020-01-L-D-A-K-TR has higher inventory availability (2187 pcs).

Q: Do these parts have moisture sensitivity concerns?

A: No. All three parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
