HSEC8-109-01-L-DV-A-L2-TR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HSEC8-109-01-L-DV-A-L2-TR is an 18-position female card edge connector from Samtec Inc.'s Edge Rate™ HSEC8 series. This dual-edge connector features a 0.031" (0.80mm) pitch and is designed for surface mount applications with solder termination. The part is currently active in production with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary when the original packaging format (Tape & Reel) is unavailable, when inventory constraints require alternative sourcing, or when system design allows for compatible connector variants that meet the same electrical and mechanical interface requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HSEC8-109-01-L-DV-A-L2-TR is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Series & Base Number: Must be HSEC8-109 series to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Position Count & Pitch: 18 positions at 0.031" (0.80mm) pitch are non-negotiable for PCB layout and mating interface
• Gender & Card Configuration: Female connector with dual-edge, non-specified card type configuration
• Contact Specifications: Beryllium copper contacts with gold finish at 10.0µin thickness
• Electrical & Environmental Ratings: Operating temperature -55°C ~ 125°C, ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1
• Termination & Mounting: Surface mount with solder termination

The primary difference between the main part and its substitute is the packaging format: Tape & Reel (TR) versus Tray. This distinction affects procurement, handling, and automated assembly processes but does not alter the connector's functional or electrical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the HSEC8-109-01-L-DV-A-L2-TR and HSEC8-109-01-L-DV-A-L2 are active production parts with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Packaging & Procurement Requirements: The Tape & Reel format is optimized for high-volume automated assembly lines, while the Tray format accommodates manual assembly, lower-volume production runs, or alternative handling systems.

Compliance & Certifications: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and carry identical environmental ratings. No compliance trade-offs exist between the two variants.

Inventory & Lead Time: The substitute part (Tray) currently shows higher inventory availability (979 Pcs vs. 787 Pcs), which may influence procurement decisions when lead time is a constraint.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HSEC8-109-01-L-DV-A-L2 (Tray) be used as a direct replacement for HSEC8-109-01-L-DV-A-L2-TR (Tape & Reel)?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format. If your assembly process can accommodate Tray packaging, this part is a direct functional substitute.

Q: Does the packaging change affect PCB layout or connector performance?

A: No. The connector itself is identical. Packaging affects only procurement, storage, and assembly handling procedures, not electrical or mechanical interface characteristics.

Q: Are there any certifications or compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, and environmental specifications.

Q: What is the significance of the base product number HSEC8-109?

A: The base number identifies the core connector family. Both parts share this base number, confirming they are variants of the same product line with identical contact and pitch specifications.

Q: Can I mix Tape & Reel and Tray packaging in the same production run?

A: Yes, provided your assembly equipment can process both packaging formats. The connectors themselves are identical and will function identically once soldered to the PCB.
