HSEC8-113-01-L-RA-L2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HSEC8-113-01-L-RA-L2 is a 26-position female card edge connector from Samtec Inc.'s Edge Rate™ HSEC8 series. This dual-row, surface-mount connector features gold-plated beryllium copper contacts with 0.031" (0.80mm) pitch and operates across -55°C to 125°C. The connector is designed for applications requiring reliable edge card interfacing with dual read-out capability and integrated latches for secure retention.

The part is currently Active in product status with 732 units available in tray packaging. Substitute parts are identified to address packaging availability, inventory requirements, or specific application needs while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between HSEC8-113-01-L-RA-L2 and HSEC8-113-01-L-RA-L2-TR is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Both parts maintain identical contact count (26 positions), pitch (0.031"), contact material (beryllium copper), contact finish (gold), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C).
• Mechanical Compatibility: Both feature dual-row configuration, 0.062" card thickness, surface-mount right-angle mounting, and solder termination.
• Material Specification: Both use Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation and are ROHS3 compliant.
• Packaging Difference: The primary distinction is packaging format—tray versus tape & reel (TR)—which does not affect connector functionality or performance.

The substitute part HSEC8-113-01-L-RA-L2-TR includes board guide and cantilever contact type features not specified in the main part, representing an enhanced variant suitable for identical applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both HSEC8-113-01-L-RA-L2 and HSEC8-113-01-L-RA-L2-TR are Active products with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Packaging Requirements: Tray packaging (HSEC8-113-01-L-RA-L2) is suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume production. Tape & reel packaging (HSEC8-113-01-L-RA-L2-TR) is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly processes.
• Inventory Availability: The tape & reel variant currently has higher stock availability (943 units versus 732 units).
• Production Volume: High-volume manufacturing typically benefits from tape & reel format, while prototype or low-volume builds may prefer tray packaging.

Both parts meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications and are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring 26-position dual-row card edge connectors with 0.031" pitch and gold-plated contacts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HSEC8-113-01-L-RA-L2-TR replace HSEC8-113-01-L-RA-L2 in production?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The primary difference is packaging format. The tape & reel variant is designed for automated assembly, while the tray variant is suitable for manual or semi-automated processes. Connector performance and compatibility remain unchanged.

Q: What is the significance of the "-TR" suffix?

A: The "-TR" suffix indicates tape & reel packaging, which is standard for high-volume automated manufacturing. This packaging format does not affect the connector's electrical or mechanical properties.

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

A: No. Packaging format affects only the supply method and assembly process, not connector functionality. Both variants use identical contact materials, finishes, and configurations.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitutability?

A: Substitutability is determined by position count (26), row configuration (2 rows), pitch (0.031"), card thickness (0.062"), contact material (beryllium copper), contact finish (gold), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), and insulation material (LCP). Both parts match on all these parameters.

Q: Is the board guide feature on the tape & reel variant a functional difference?

A: The board guide is a mechanical feature that aids in connector alignment during assembly. It does not affect electrical performance or compatibility with standard edge card applications. Both variants are suitable for identical applications.
