BTH-060-01-F-D-A-K Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The BTH-060-01-F-D-A-K 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 0.020" (0.50mm) pitch with a 2-row configuration and includes board guide features. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are identified to address packaging format variations and inventory availability while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the BTH-060-01-F-D-A-K is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The identified substitutes maintain identical specifications in connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting method, contact finish, height dimensions, and compliance certifications.

The substitution logic is based on the following invariant parameters:

• 120-position header configuration
• 0.020" (0.50mm) pitch spacing
• 2-row arrangement
• Surface mount technology
• Gold contact finish at 3.00µin thickness
• 0.168" (4.27mm) height above board
• 5mm mated stacking height
• Board guide feature
• ROHS3 and REACH compliance

Variations occur only in packaging format (Tray versus Tape & Reel), which does not affect functional or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain Active product status and identical compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, EAR99). Selection between BTH-060-01-F-D-A-K, BTH-060-01-F-D-A-K-TR, and BTH-060-01-F-D-A is determined solely by packaging and supply chain requirements.

BTH-060-01-F-D-A-K (Tray packaging) and BTH-060-01-F-D-A (Tray packaging) are functionally and mechanically identical. BTH-060-01-F-D-A-K-TR (Tape & Reel packaging) provides the same electrical and mechanical performance with alternative packaging format suitable for automated assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are BTH-060-01-F-D-A-K and BTH-060-01-F-D-A-K-TR electrically and mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in all electrical and mechanical specifications. The difference is packaging format only: Tray versus Tape & Reel. The connector itself, contact configuration, pitch, height, and all performance characteristics are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between BTH-060-01-F-D-A-K and BTH-060-01-F-D-A?

A: These parts are parametrically equivalent. Both use Tray packaging and maintain identical specifications across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The difference in part number designation does not reflect functional variation.

Q: Can I use Tape & Reel packaging (BTH-060-01-F-D-A-K-TR) in place of Tray packaging (BTH-060-01-F-D-A-K)?

A: Yes, from a component perspective. The connector specifications are identical. Packaging selection depends on assembly process requirements and handling procedures. Tape & Reel format is optimized for automated pick-and-place equipment, while Tray format is suitable for manual or alternative assembly methods.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. BTH-060-01-F-D-A-K, BTH-060-01-F-D-A-K-TR, and BTH-060-01-F-D-A all maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for this connector?

A: MSL 1 indicates the part has unlimited shelf life and does not require special moisture control during storage or handling. No baking or desiccant storage is required prior to assembly.
