Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The BTH-060-02-L-D-A-K-TR qualifies as a parametric equivalent based on the following criteria:

All electrical parameters are identical: 120 positions, 2-row configuration, 0.020" (0.50mm) pitch, gold contact finish with 10.0µin thickness, and 8mm mated stacking height.

All mechanical parameters are identical: surface mount mounting type, outer shroud contacts, board guide feature, and 0.286" (7.26mm) height above board.

All compliance and regulatory parameters are identical: ROHS3 compliant, MSL 1 (unlimited), REACH unaffected, and EAR99 ECCN classification.

The only difference between the main part and substitute is the packaging format: the main part uses Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, while the substitute uses Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging. This packaging difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the BTH-060-02-L-D-A-TR and BTH-060-02-L-D-A-K-TR are active products with identical electrical, mechanical, and compliance specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and supply chain considerations. The Tape & Reel (TR) format is suitable for high-volume automated assembly operations, while Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging accommodates lower-volume requirements or mixed component sourcing. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring equivalent performance in end-use applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BTH-060-02-L-D-A-K-TR be used as a direct replacement for BTH-060-02-L-D-A-TR?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format. The substitute part will function identically in the circuit board assembly.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel (TR) and Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging?

A: Tape & Reel packaging is optimized for high-volume automated pick-and-place assembly. Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® packaging provides flexibility for lower-volume orders or mixed component sourcing. Both formats contain the same connector component.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS3 compliance, MSL 1 (unlimited) rating, REACH unaffected status, and EAR99 ECCN classification.

Q: Do these connectors have the same board-level footprint?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical specifications: 120 positions, 2-row configuration, 0.020" (0.50mm) pitch, 0.286" (7.26mm) height above board, and board guide feature.

Q: What is the contact finish specification for these connectors?

A: Both parts feature gold plating with 10.0µin (0.25µm) thickness, providing equivalent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance.
