Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the BTH-080-02-L-D-A are identified through parametric equivalence. The following electrical and mechanical parameters must match exactly for substitution eligibility:

• Number of Positions: 160
• 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: 10.0µin (0.25µm)
• Height Above Board: 0.286" (7.26mm)
• Mated Stacking Heights: 8mm
• Features: Board Guide
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The BTH-080-02-L-D-A-K is classified as a parametric equivalent substitute, maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications while differing only in packaging configuration or internal design variant designation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the BTH-080-02-L-D-A and BTH-080-02-L-D-A-K are active products with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts is based on availability and supply chain requirements. The BTH-080-02-L-D-A-K currently maintains higher inventory levels (1167 Pcs) compared to the BTH-080-02-L-D-A (695 Pcs), making it suitable for high-volume production requirements. Both parts carry identical electrical classification (EAR99) and harmonized tariff codes (HTSUS: 8536.69.4040), ensuring equivalent regulatory treatment in procurement and logistics operations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BTH-080-02-L-D-A-K be used as a direct replacement for BTH-080-02-L-D-A?

A: Yes. The BTH-080-02-L-D-A-K is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. All critical parameters including position count, pitch, mounting type, contact finish, and dimensional characteristics match exactly.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is determined by matching: connector type, number of positions (160), pitch (0.020"/0.50mm), row configuration (2 rows), mounting method (surface mount), contact finish (gold at 10.0µin thickness), board height (0.286"/7.26mm), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1).

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited). Regulatory classification and tariff codes are identical.

Q: What is the significance of the "-K" suffix in the part number?

A: The "-K" designation indicates a variant within the same parametric family. This variant maintains all electrical and mechanical equivalence while potentially differing in packaging configuration or internal design implementation. Functional interchangeability is preserved.

Q: Are inventory levels a factor in component selection?

A: Inventory availability may influence procurement decisions for production scheduling. The BTH-080-02-L-D-A-K currently has higher stock levels, which may provide supply chain advantages for large-volume orders or time-sensitive applications.
