Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the HSEC8-109-01-L-DV-A-L2-K is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary substitution criterion is packaging format. The main part is supplied in Tray packaging, while equivalent alternatives may be available in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both packaging types contain identical connector specifications and performance characteristics.

The following parameters must remain constant for valid substitution:

• 18-position configuration (9 positions per row, 2 rows)
• 0.031" (0.80mm) pitch
• 0.062" (1.57mm) card thickness
• Female gender with dual-edge read-out
• Beryllium copper contacts with gold finish (10.0µin)
• Surface mount solder termination
• Liquid Crystal Polymer insulation
• Operating temperature range -55°C to 125°C
• RoHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the HSEC8-109-01-L-DV-A-L2-K and HSEC8-109-01-L-DV-A-L2-K-TR are active products from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and assembly process compatibility.

The Tray packaging format (HSEC8-109-01-L-DV-A-L2-K) is suitable for manual assembly and lower-volume production environments. The Tape & Reel format (HSEC8-109-01-L-DV-A-L2-K-TR) is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly processes and high-volume manufacturing operations.

Both variants maintain full RoHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with standard PCB assembly processes and storage conditions without moisture sensitivity constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HSEC8-109-01-L-DV-A-L2-K-TR be used as a direct replacement for HSEC8-109-01-L-DV-A-L2-K?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format: Tray versus Tape & Reel. The connector itself, including all electrical characteristics, mechanical dimensions, and performance specifications, is identical.

Q: What is the difference between Tray and Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Tray packaging is used for manual handling and lower-volume assembly. Tape & Reel packaging is designed for automated assembly equipment and high-volume production. The connector specifications remain unchanged.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues when switching between these packaging formats?

A: No. The connectors are functionally identical. Assembly process compatibility depends on your manufacturing equipment, not on the connector itself.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both HSEC8-109-01-L-DV-A-L2-K and HSEC8-109-01-L-DV-A-L2-K-TR are RoHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 rating and identical operating temperature specifications.

Q: Which part should I specify for my design?

A: Specify based on your assembly process. Use HSEC8-109-01-L-DV-A-L2-K for manual or low-volume assembly. Use HSEC8-109-01-L-DV-A-L2-K-TR for automated high-volume production.
