BTE-060-03-F-D-A-TR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The BTE-060-03-F-D-A-TR is a 120 Position Connector Header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for surface mount applications with outer shroud contacts and gold plating. This rectangular connector operates at a 0.031" (0.80mm) pitch with a 2-row configuration and board guide features. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are identified when packaging or distribution formats differ while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications, allowing for flexible sourcing without design modification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the BTE-060-03-F-D-A-TR is determined by equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: 120
• 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: 0.396" (10.06mm)
• Mated Stacking Heights: 11.03mm
• Features: Board Guide
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited)

The identified substitute part differs only in packaging format (Tray versus Tape & Reel), which does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Both parts share the same base product number (BTE-060) and maintain identical functional specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the BTE-060-03-F-D-A-TR and BTE-060-03-F-D-A maintain Active product status with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging requirements and supply chain logistics rather than functional performance.

The Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format of the BTE-060-03-F-D-A-TR is optimized for automated assembly processes. The Tray packaging of the BTE-060-03-F-D-A accommodates manual handling and alternative assembly workflows.

Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating suitable for standard storage and handling conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BTE-060-03-F-D-A be used as a direct replacement for BTE-060-03-F-D-A-TR?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The difference is packaging format only. BTE-060-03-F-D-A uses Tray packaging while BTE-060-03-F-D-A-TR uses Tape & Reel packaging. Component performance and PCB compatibility remain unchanged.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is designed for high-speed automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Tray packaging is suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume production runs. The choice depends on manufacturing process requirements, not component functionality.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the substitute parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. Regulatory and environmental certifications are equivalent.

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters match: 120 positions, 0.031" (0.80mm) pitch, 2-row configuration, Header with Outer Shroud Contacts, Surface Mount mounting, Gold contact finish at 3.00µin thickness, 0.396" (10.06mm) height above board, 11.03mm mated stacking height, and Board Guide features. Packaging format does not affect substitution eligibility.
