Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the BTE-040-04-F-D-A-TR are identified based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the BTE series. The substitution criteria are strictly limited to the following parameters:

• 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
• Contact Finish Thickness: 3.00µin (0.076µm)
• Height Above Board: 0.601" (15.27mm)
• Mated Stacking Heights: 16.1mm
• Features: Board Guide
• Base Product Number: BTE-040
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

Parts meeting all these parameters are considered direct electrical and mechanical equivalents. Packaging configuration differences do not affect functional compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the BTE-040-04-F-D-A-TR and BTE-040-04-F-D-A-K-TR maintain Active product status with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance and REACH requirements. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging and supply chain requirements rather than functional performance. The BTE-040-04-F-D-A-TR is available in standard packaging, while the BTE-040-04-F-D-A-K-TR is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is suitable for automated assembly processes. Current inventory levels support both configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
