Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the BTH-050-01-F-D-A-TR are identified based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters while accommodating different packaging formats. The substitution logic is structured as follows:

Primary Substitution Criteria (Must Match):

• Manufacturer: Samtec Inc.
• Series: BTH
• Number of Positions: 100
• 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 (0.076µm)
• Height Above Board: 0.168" (4.27mm)
• Mated Stacking Heights: 5mm
• Features: Board Guide
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited)

Variable Parameter (Allows Substitution):

• Packaging Format: Tape & Reel (TR) or Tray

The BTH-050-01-F-D-A-TR (Tape & Reel packaging) is substitutable with BTH-050-01-F-D-A (Tray packaging) and BTH-050-01-F-D-A-K-TR (Tape & Reel packaging with alternate configuration). All three parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications; differences exist only in packaging and handling methods.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—BTH-050-01-F-D-A-TR, BTH-050-01-F-D-A, and BTH-050-01-F-D-A-K-TR—are functionally equivalent for circuit design and electrical performance. Selection between them is determined by procurement requirements and assembly process specifications:

BTH-050-01-F-D-A-TR (Tape & Reel): Suitable for high-volume automated assembly operations requiring reel-fed component handling. Tape & Reel packaging optimizes pick-and-place machine compatibility and reduces manual handling.

BTH-050-01-F-D-A (Tray): Suitable for lower-volume production runs or manual assembly processes. Tray packaging provides component accessibility for hand placement and inspection.

BTH-050-01-F-D-A-K-TR (Tape & Reel): Alternate Tape & Reel configuration offering equivalent performance to BTH-050-01-F-D-A-TR with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

All parts maintain Active product status, full RoHS3 compliance, and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), ensuring regulatory compliance and long-term availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BTH-050-01-F-D-A-TR be replaced with BTH-050-01-F-D-A?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The difference is packaging format: BTH-050-01-F-D-A-TR uses Tape & Reel packaging, while BTH-050-01-F-D-A uses Tray packaging. Selection depends on assembly process requirements and handling methods.

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

A: Tape & Reel packaging winds components on a continuous tape suitable for automated pick-and-place machines. Tray packaging places components in individual compartments for manual or semi-automated handling. Both formats contain identical components with no electrical or mechanical differences.

Q: Are all three substitute parts suitable for the same PCB design?

A: Yes. All three parts—BTH-050-01-F-D-A-TR, BTH-050-01-F-D-A, and BTH-050-01-F-D-A-K-TR—share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. PCB footprints, mounting requirements, and electrical performance are equivalent across all three part numbers.

Q: Does packaging format affect component performance or reliability?

A: No. Packaging format affects only handling, storage, and assembly processes. Electrical performance, mechanical dimensions, contact finish, and reliability characteristics are identical regardless of packaging type.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. BTH-050-01-F-D-A-TR, BTH-050-01-F-D-A, and BTH-050-01-F-D-A-K-TR are all ROHS3 compliant with identical regulatory status and certifications.

Q: What is the MSL rating for these connectors?

A: All three parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.
