Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HPF-03-02-T-S-TR is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (3)
• Pitch specification (0.200" / 5.08mm)
• Mounting method (Surface Mount)
• Termination type (Solder)
• Fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)
• Contact material (Beryllium Copper)
• Contact finish specifications (Tin on both mating and post surfaces)
• Insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer)
• Physical dimensions (Insulation height 0.351")

The HPF-03-02-T-S-K-TR meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute. The difference between these parts is limited to the presence of Pick and Place features in the substitute variant, which does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both HPF-03-02-T-S-TR and HPF-03-02-T-S-K-TR are active products with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. Selection between these parts should be based on production requirements. The HPF-03-02-T-S-K-TR includes Pick and Place features, which may provide advantages in automated assembly environments. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring functional interchangeability in board-to-board applications requiring 3-position, 0.200" pitch receptacle connectors with solder termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HPF-03-02-T-S-K-TR be used as a direct replacement for HPF-03-02-T-S-TR?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical parameters including connector type, contact configuration, pitch, mounting method, termination type, and material specifications. The Pick and Place feature in the K-variant does not affect compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the "K" designation in HPF-03-02-T-S-K-TR?

A: The K designation indicates the inclusion of Pick and Place features, which facilitate automated component placement during manufacturing. This does not alter the connector's functional or physical interface.

Q: Are there any differences in packaging between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. Inventory levels differ, with HPF-03-02-T-S-K-TR currently showing 1026 pieces and HPF-03-02-T-S-TR showing 948 pieces in stock.

Q: Do these connectors meet environmental compliance requirements?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 rating, indicating unlimited moisture sensitivity protection. Both are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.4040.

Q: What applications are these connectors suitable for?

A: These are board-to-board rectangular connectors designed for surface mount applications requiring push-pull fastening and solder termination. The 3-position, 0.200" pitch configuration supports compact interconnect designs.
