Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The BTE-060-04-F-D-A-K-TR qualifies as a parametric equivalent to the BTE-060-04-F-D-A-TR based on identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both parts share the same base product number (BTE-060), connector configuration, position count, pitch, row arrangement, mounting method, contact material and finish, dimensional characteristics, and compliance certifications. The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format: the main part uses standard packaging while the substitute employs Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. This packaging difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility, making the BTE-060-04-F-D-A-K-TR a direct functional substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the BTE-060-04-F-D-A-TR and BTE-060-04-F-D-A-K-TR maintain Active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and procurement logistics. The standard packaged BTE-060-04-F-D-A-TR is suitable for lower volume applications or when individual component handling is preferred. The Tape & Reel packaged BTE-060-04-F-D-A-K-TR accommodates automated assembly processes and higher volume production runs. Both parts carry identical electrical performance characteristics, compliance certifications, and reliability ratings, ensuring interchangeable functionality in circuit design and manufacturing applications.
