HSEC8-125-01-L-DV-A-TR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HSEC8-125-01-L-DV-A-TR is a 50-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 connector is currently in active production status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating.

Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary when the primary packaging format (Tape & Reel) is unavailable or when alternative packaging options better suit procurement, inventory, or assembly requirements while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical performance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HSEC8-125-01-L-DV-A-TR is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Number of positions (50), pitch (0.031"), gender (Female), contact material (Beryllium Copper), contact finish (Gold), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Mechanical Compatibility: Card type (Non Specified - Dual Edge), card thickness (0.062"), number of rows (2), mounting type (Surface Mount), and termination method (Solder)
• Material & Environmental: Insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer), RoHS3 compliance, and MSL rating (1)

The primary difference between the main part and its substitute is the packaging format. The HSEC8-125-01-L-DV-A-TR is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, while the substitute HSEC8-125-01-L-DV-A is supplied in Tray packaging. Both parts share the identical base product number (HSEC8-125) and all electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the HSEC8-125-01-L-DV-A-TR and HSEC8-125-01-L-DV-A are active production parts with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging and inventory requirements:

• HSEC8-125-01-L-DV-A-TR (Tape & Reel): Suitable for high-volume automated assembly operations where tape-and-reel packaging integrates directly with pick-and-place equipment.
• HSEC8-125-01-L-DV-A (Tray): Suitable for manual assembly, lower-volume production runs, or when tray packaging aligns with existing inventory management systems.

Both parts maintain full RoHS3 compliance and carry MSL rating 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity), ensuring compatibility with standard storage and handling procedures. The substitute part includes additional features (Locking Ramp) not specified in the main part documentation, which may provide enhanced mechanical retention in specific applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are HSEC8-125-01-L-DV-A-TR and HSEC8-125-01-L-DV-A electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts are 50-position female card edge connectors with identical pitch (0.031"), contact material (Beryllium Copper), contact finish (Gold), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). They are electrically and mechanically interchangeable.

Q: What is the only difference between these two parts?

A: The packaging format. HSEC8-125-01-L-DV-A-TR is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, while HSEC8-125-01-L-DV-A is supplied in Tray packaging. All connector specifications remain identical.

Q: Can I use the Tray-packaged part in automated assembly?

A: Tray packaging is not optimized for automated pick-and-place equipment. For high-volume automated assembly, use the Tape & Reel version (HSEC8-125-01-L-DV-A-TR).

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both HSEC8-125-01-L-DV-A-TR and HSEC8-125-01-L-DV-A are RoHS3 compliant with MSL rating 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity).

Q: What does the Locking Ramp feature on the substitute part provide?

A: The Locking Ramp feature on HSEC8-125-01-L-DV-A provides enhanced mechanical retention. Consult Samtec documentation for specific application compatibility.

Q: Can I mix packaging types in the same production run?

A: Yes, provided your assembly process can accommodate both Tape & Reel and Tray formats. Both parts are functionally identical and will perform identically once soldered.
