• Physical dimensions: Height above board 0.719" (18.26mm), mated stacking height 19.1mm
• Compliance certifications: ROHS3 and REACH standards maintained
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 rating

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both BTE-020-05-F-D-A and BTE-020-05-F-D-A-K maintain Active product status with identical compliance profiles. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement availability and supply chain requirements. Both parts satisfy ROHS3 and REACH regulatory requirements and carry MSL 1 rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage and handling. The identical electrical and mechanical specifications ensure direct interchangeability in surface mount applications requiring 40-position headers with 0.031" pitch and gold-plated contacts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are BTE-020-05-F-D-A and BTE-020-05-F-D-A-K electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications including 40-position configuration, 0.031" (0.80mm) pitch, 2-row layout, and gold contact finish at 3.00µin thickness.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in PCB designs?

A: Yes. The mechanical dimensions are identical, including height above board (0.719" / 18.26mm) and mated stacking height (19.1mm). Both feature board guide functionality and surface mount technology.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL 1 rating?

A: MSL 1 indicates unlimited moisture sensitivity level, meaning these connectors require no special moisture control during storage, handling, or assembly processes.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current environmental regulations?

A: Yes. Both BTE-020-05-F-D-A and BTE-020-05-F-D-A-K are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental standards for electronic components.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for these connector headers?

A: Substitution is valid when the receiving application requires identical specifications: 40 positions, 0.031" pitch, 2-row configuration, surface mount mounting, gold plating, and board guide features. Any deviation from these parameters requires separate evaluation.
