Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between BTE-040-02-F-D-A-TR and BTE-040-02-F-D-A is determined by packaging configuration only. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications:

• Number of positions: 80
• Pitch: 0.031" (0.80mm)
• Number of rows: 2
• Connector type: Header, Outer Shroud Contacts
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Contact finish: Gold at 3.00µin thickness
• Mated stacking height: 8.03mm
• Height above board: 0.278" (7.06mm)
• Board guide feature: Present
• RoHS and MSL compliance: Identical

The only difference is packaging: BTE-040-02-F-D-A-TR is supplied in Tape & Reel format, while BTE-040-02-F-D-A is supplied in Tray format. This distinction affects procurement logistics and automated assembly compatibility but does not alter component functionality or performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both BTE-040-02-F-D-A-TR and BTE-040-02-F-D-A are Active status products with full ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Selection between these parts should be based on assembly and procurement requirements:

BTE-040-02-F-D-A-TR (Tape & Reel packaging) is suitable for high-volume automated pick-and-place assembly operations where tape-fed component handling is standard.

BTE-040-02-F-D-A (Tray packaging) is suitable for manual assembly, lower-volume production runs, or procurement scenarios where tray format is preferred.

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, mechanical fit, and compliance certifications. The choice between them does not affect circuit design, PCB layout, or functional specifications.
