Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the BTH-030-01-L-D-A-TR are identified based on strict equivalence of electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitution logic is based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Number of positions: 60
• Pitch: 0.020" (0.50mm)
• Number of rows: 2
• Contact finish: Gold
• Contact finish thickness: 10.0µin (0.25µm)

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Connector type: Header, Outer Shroud Contacts
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Height above board: 0.168" (4.27mm)
• Mated stacking heights: 5mm
• Features: Board Guide

Compliance Parameters (Must Match):

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected
• Product Status: Active

Variable Parameter (Allows Substitution):

• Packaging: Tape & Reel (TR) vs. Tray

The identified substitutes differ only in packaging format, which does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. All substitute parts maintain identical functional characteristics and compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—BTH-030-01-L-D-A-TR, BTH-030-01-L-D-A, and BTH-030-01-L-D-A-K-TR—are active products manufactured by Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and inventory availability:

BTH-030-01-L-D-A-TR (Tape & Reel): Suitable for automated assembly processes requiring reel-fed component handling. Current inventory: 831 pcs.

BTH-030-01-L-D-A (Tray): Suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume production runs. Current inventory: 1801 pcs.

BTH-030-01-L-D-A-K-TR (Tape & Reel): Alternative tape and reel option with highest current inventory availability. Current inventory: 2400 pcs.

All parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory compliance across applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BTH-030-01-L-D-A be used as a direct replacement for BTH-030-01-L-D-A-TR?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Tray vs. Tape & Reel). Direct substitution is valid for applications where packaging format does not constrain assembly processes.

Q: What is the difference between BTH-030-01-L-D-A-TR and BTH-030-01-L-D-A-K-TR?

A: Both are supplied in Tape & Reel packaging with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The designation difference reflects internal Samtec product variants. Both are fully interchangeable.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All three parts—BTH-030-01-L-D-A-TR, BTH-030-01-L-D-A, and BTH-030-01-L-D-A-K-TR—are ROHS3 compliant.

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

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

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in PCB assembly?

A: Yes. All three parts have identical contact pitch (0.020"), number of positions (60), mounting type (Surface Mount), and height specifications (0.168" above board). They are fully interchangeable from a functional and mechanical standpoint.

Q: Which packaging option should I select for high-volume automated assembly?

A: Tape & Reel packaging (BTH-030-01-L-D-A-TR or BTH-030-01-L-D-A-K-TR) is recommended for automated pick-and-place assembly processes.

Q: Which packaging option should I select for manual or low-volume assembly?

A: Tray packaging (BTH-030-01-L-D-A) is suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume production runs.
