Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution within the BTH-030 series is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The following parameters must remain identical for functional interchangeability:

  • Number of positions (60)
  • Pitch (0.020" / 0.50mm)
  • Number of rows (2)
  • Connector type (Header, Outer Shroud Contacts)
  • Mounting type (Surface Mount)
  • Contact finish (Gold)
  • Contact finish thickness (3.00µin)
  • Height above board (0.168" / 4.27mm)
  • Mated stacking heights (5mm)
  • Features (Board Guide)
  • Series designation (BTH)

Packaging format represents the only variable parameter among equivalent parts. The main part number BTH-030-01-F-D-A-K is supplied in Tray packaging, while substitute options include Cut Tape (CT) packaging and alternative tray configurations. All substitute parts maintain identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three part numbers are Active products manufactured by Samtec Inc. and maintain full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between BTH-030-01-F-D-A-K, BTH-030-01-F-D-A-K-TR, and BTH-030-01-F-D-A is determined by packaging requirements and supply availability rather than electrical or mechanical performance differences.

BTH-030-01-F-D-A-K-TR in Cut Tape packaging is designated as the manufacturer-recommended substitute option. BTH-030-01-F-D-A represents a parametric equivalent with identical specifications in alternative tray packaging. All three options provide equivalent performance in surface mount applications requiring 60-position headers with 0.50mm pitch and gold-plated contacts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are BTH-030-01-F-D-A-K, BTH-030-01-F-D-A-K-TR, and BTH-030-01-F-D-A electrically identical?

A: Yes. All three part numbers are electrically and mechanically identical. They share the same connector specifications including 60 positions, 0.020" pitch, gold contact finish, and surface mount configuration. Differences exist only in packaging format.

Q: What is the difference between Tray and Cut Tape packaging?

A: Tray packaging supplies components in bulk trays suitable for high-volume automated assembly. Cut Tape packaging supplies components on continuous tape, typically used for lower-volume applications or specific assembly equipment requirements. Both packaging formats contain identical components.

Q: Can I substitute BTH-030-01-F-D-A for BTH-030-01-F-D-A-K in my design?

A: Yes. BTH-030-01-F-D-A is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitution is valid for all functional and performance requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. BTH-030-01-F-D-A-K, BTH-030-01-F-D-A-K-TR, and BTH-030-01-F-D-A are all ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level for these connectors?

A: All three part numbers have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
