MEC6-110-02-L-DV-A-TR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MEC6-110-02-L-DV-A-TR is a 20-position female card edge connector manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for dual edge applications with 0.025" (0.64mm) pitch spacing. This connector features surface mount solder termination, phosphor bronze contacts with gold finish, and operates across -55°C to 125°C. The part is Active status and ROHS3 compliant.

Substitute parts are identified when packaging or distribution format differs while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications, allowing flexibility in procurement and supply chain management.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MEC6-110-02-L-DV-A-TR is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• 20-position connector configuration
• 0.025" (0.64mm) pitch spacing
• Dual edge, non-specified card type
• Female gender with 2-row arrangement
• 0.062" (1.57mm) card thickness tolerance
• Phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating (10.0µin thickness)
• Surface mount solder termination
• -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range
• Liquid Crystal Polymer insulation material
• ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating

The identified substitute differs only in packaging format (Tray versus Tape & Reel), which does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. All other specifications remain identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both MEC6-110-02-L-DV-A-TR and MEC6-110-02-L-DV-A are Active status components with identical ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts is based on procurement and assembly requirements rather than functional performance.

The Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format is suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly operations. The Tray packaging format accommodates manual assembly or alternative handling processes. Both formats maintain equivalent electrical and mechanical performance in the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MEC6-110-02-L-DV-A (Tray) be used as a direct replacement for MEC6-110-02-L-DV-A-TR (Tape & Reel)?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The difference is packaging format only. Substitution is valid provided assembly equipment and handling procedures accommodate the Tray format.

Q: What determines compatibility between these connector variants?

A: Compatibility is determined by matching specifications: 20-position configuration, 0.025" pitch, dual edge card type, female gender, 2-row arrangement, 0.062" card thickness, phosphor bronze gold-plated contacts, surface mount solder termination, -55°C to 125°C operating range, and LCP insulation material.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two packaging formats?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance, MSL Level 1 rating, and regulatory certifications. Packaging format does not affect compliance status.

Q: Which packaging format should be selected for high-volume automated assembly?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) format is optimized for automated pick-and-place equipment. Tray format is suitable for manual assembly or alternative handling processes.

Q: Is inventory availability a factor in substitution decisions?

A: Inventory levels may influence procurement timing but do not affect technical substitution eligibility. Both parts maintain Active status and are functionally equivalent.
