Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the BTE-060-02-L-D-A-TR is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: 120
• Pitch: 0.031" (0.80mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Contact Finish Thickness: 10.0µin (0.25µm)
• Mated Stacking Height: 8.03mm
• Height Above Board: 0.278" (7.06mm)
• Connector Type: Header, Outer Shroud Contacts
• Features: Board Guide

The substitute part BTE-060-02-L-D-A-K-TR maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters, differing only in packaging designation (K-TR variant). Both parts belong to the BTE-060 base product family and share equivalent performance characteristics for direct substitution in surface mount applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both BTE-060-02-L-D-A-TR and BTE-060-02-L-D-A-K-TR are Active status products with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation. Selection between these parts is based on packaging and inventory availability rather than functional or electrical differences. The BTE-060-02-L-D-A-K-TR variant currently maintains higher inventory levels (1917 pcs) compared to the BTE-060-02-L-D-A-TR (954 pcs), making it suitable for high-volume production requirements. Both parts satisfy identical compliance requirements and performance specifications for 120 position surface mount connector applications with 0.031" pitch and gold contact finish.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are BTE-060-02-L-D-A-TR and BTE-060-02-L-D-A-K-TR electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications including 120 positions, 0.031" pitch, 2-row configuration, and gold contact finish with 10.0µin thickness. They are direct functional equivalents.

Q: What is the difference between the TR and K-TR packaging designations?

A: The packaging designation indicates the reel format for tape and reel delivery. Both variants are supplied in Tape & Reel packaging; the designation difference reflects internal Samtec packaging specifications without affecting connector performance or compatibility.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in surface mount assembly?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mounting type (Surface Mount), mated stacking height (8.03mm), and height above board (0.278"), enabling direct substitution in PCB designs and assembly processes.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both BTE-060-02-L-D-A-TR and BTE-060-02-L-D-A-K-TR are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with identical HTSUS coding (8536.69.4040).

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

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