Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the BTE-040-02-L-D-A-TR is determined by equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (header with outer shroud contacts), number of positions (80), pitch (0.031"/0.80mm), number of rows (2), mounting type (surface mount), contact finish (gold at 10.0µin thickness), and mechanical dimensions (8.03mm stacking height, 0.278" height above board). The identified substitute part maintains identical specifications across all these parameters. The only variance is in packaging format: the primary part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while the substitute is supplied in Tray format. Both parts share the same base product number (BTE-040) and series designation (BTE), confirming functional and dimensional equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the BTE-040-02-L-D-A-TR and BTE-040-02-L-D-A are active products with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging and assembly process requirements. The Tape & Reel format (TR) is suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly operations, while the Tray format accommodates manual assembly or alternative handling processes. Both parts maintain full ROHS3 compliance and carry unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), ensuring equivalent environmental performance. Current inventory levels support both variants, with 814 units of the TR version and 760 units of the Tray version available.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are BTE-040-02-L-D-A-TR and BTE-040-02-L-D-A electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts are 80-position rectangular connector headers with identical pin count, pitch (0.031"/0.80mm), row configuration (2 rows), gold contact finish (10.0µin thickness), and mechanical dimensions. Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The only difference is packaging format. BTE-040-02-L-D-A-TR is supplied in Tape & Reel format for automated assembly, while BTE-040-02-L-D-A is supplied in Tray format for alternative handling methods.

Q: Can I use the Tray-packaged part in place of the Tape & Reel part?

A: Functionally, yes. The connector specifications are identical. However, assembly process compatibility depends on your equipment. Tape & Reel format is optimized for automated pick-and-place systems, while Tray format requires manual or alternative feeding methods.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both BTE-040-02-L-D-A-TR and BTE-040-02-L-D-A are ROHS3 compliant with REACH unaffected status.

Q: What is the MSL rating for these connectors?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

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

A: Yes. Both parts share identical footprint requirements, mating stacking height (8.03mm), and height above board (0.278"/7.06mm). PCB layout and design files require no modification when substituting between these variants.
