Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the BTS-025-01-F-D-A-TR is determined by equivalence in the following critical parameters: connector type (Socket, Outer Shroud Contacts), number of positions (50), pitch (0.025"), number of rows (2), mounting type (Surface Mount), contact finish (Gold with Flash thickness), mated stacking height (5mm), height above board (0.160"), and board guide feature. The primary difference between the main part and its substitute is packaging format: the main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while the substitute part is supplied in Tray format. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, RoHS3 compliance, and MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the BTS-025-01-F-D-A-TR and BTS-025-01-F-D-A are Active status products from Samtec Inc. with full ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging requirements and supply chain logistics. The Tape & Reel format (BTS-025-01-F-D-A-TR) is suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly operations, while the Tray format (BTS-025-01-F-D-A) accommodates manual assembly or alternative handling processes. Both parts carry MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BTS-025-01-F-D-A be used as a direct replacement for BTS-025-01-F-D-A-TR?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format: Tape & Reel versus Tray. Component-level performance, pin configuration, contact specifications, and compliance certifications are identical.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference between TR and non-TR versions?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is optimized for automated assembly lines with pick-and-place equipment. Tray packaging is used for manual assembly, kit distribution, or alternative handling methods. The choice depends on manufacturing process requirements, not component functionality.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both BTS-025-01-F-D-A-TR and BTS-025-01-F-D-A are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical environmental certifications.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for these connectors?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates these connectors have no moisture sensitivity restrictions. They can be stored and handled without special moisture control measures or time-limited shelf life constraints.

Q: Are the contact specifications identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts feature 50 gold-plated contacts with flash thickness, 0.025" pitch, 2-row configuration, and identical mated stacking height of 5mm and height above board of 0.160".
