Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MEC1-130-02-F-D-EM2-TR and MEC1-130-02-F-D-EM2 are functionally equivalent substitutes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 60 positions, 0.039" pitch, female gender, dual edge configuration, phosphor bronze contacts with gold finish, solder termination, and -55°C to 125°C operating range. The substitution is valid based on the following key parameters remaining constant:

• Number of Positions: 60
• Pitch: 0.039" (1.00mm)
• Gender: Female
• Card Type: Non Specified - Dual Edge
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Termination: Solder
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Insulation Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)

The only difference between these parts is packaging format: MEC1-130-02-F-D-EM2-TR is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR), while MEC1-130-02-F-D-EM2 is supplied in Tray packaging.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both MEC1-130-02-F-D-EM2-TR and MEC1-130-02-F-D-EM2 are active production parts with identical ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 export classification. Selection between these substitutes is determined by packaging requirements and supply chain logistics. The Tape & Reel format (MEC1-130-02-F-D-EM2-TR) is suitable for automated assembly processes, while the Tray format (MEC1-130-02-F-D-EM2) accommodates manual handling and lower-volume applications. Both parts maintain MSL Level 1 rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Current inventory availability shows 1127 units for the TR variant and 847 units for the Tray variant.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MEC1-130-02-F-D-EM2 be used as a direct replacement for MEC1-130-02-F-D-EM2-TR?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format: Tape & Reel versus Tray. Substitution is valid for any application where the connector specifications match the design requirements.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is designed for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment, while Tray packaging is used for manual assembly or lower-volume production runs. The connector itself is identical in both formats.

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

A: No. Both parts carry identical ROHS3 compliance, MSL Level 1 rating, and EAR99 export classification. They meet the same regulatory and environmental standards.

Q: What parameters must remain constant for substitution to be valid?

A: The following parameters must match: 60 positions, 0.039" pitch, female gender, dual edge configuration, phosphor bronze contacts with gold finish, solder termination, -55°C to 125°C operating range, and Liquid Crystal Polymer insulation material.

Q: Can these connectors be used in high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for continuous operation from -55°C to 125°C, making them suitable for industrial and automotive applications within this temperature range.
