MEC6-130-02-L-DV-A-TR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MEC6-130-02-L-DV-A-TR is a 60-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, supplied in Tape & Reel packaging with 919 units currently in stock.

Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary when Tape & Reel packaging is unavailable, when alternative packaging formats better suit assembly requirements, or when inventory constraints require sourcing from alternative stock positions of the same base connector family.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between MEC6-130-02-L-DV-A-TR and MEC6-130-02-L-DV-A is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Both parts share identical core specifications: 60-position female configuration, 0.025" pitch, dual edge card type, 0.062" card thickness, phosphor bronze contacts with gold finish, surface mount solder termination, and -55°C to 125°C operating range. Both are manufactured by Samtec Inc. within the MEC6-DV series and maintain ROHS3 compliance.

The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format: MEC6-130-02-L-DV-A-TR is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, while MEC6-130-02-L-DV-A is supplied in Tray packaging. This packaging difference does not affect electrical performance, mechanical fit, or functional compatibility in the end application. Selection between these variants depends solely on assembly process requirements and packaging handling preferences.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both MEC6-130-02-L-DV-A-TR and MEC6-130-02-L-DV-A are Active status products with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and inventory availability.

MEC6-130-02-L-DV-A-TR in Tape & Reel format is suitable for high-volume automated assembly processes utilizing pick-and-place equipment. MEC6-130-02-L-DV-A in Tray packaging is appropriate for manual assembly operations or lower-volume production runs. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), ensuring compatibility with standard PCB assembly processes and storage conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are MEC6-130-02-L-DV-A-TR and MEC6-130-02-L-DV-A electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. They share the same 60-position female configuration, 0.025" pitch, dual edge card type, contact materials, finish specifications, and operating temperature range. The only difference is packaging format.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on a continuous carrier tape wound on a reel, designed for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Tray packaging supplies components in a static-dissipative tray, suitable for manual handling and assembly. Both formats contain the same connector with identical performance characteristics.

Q: Can I substitute MEC6-130-02-L-DV-A for MEC6-130-02-L-DV-A-TR in my design?

A: Yes. From an electrical and mechanical standpoint, direct substitution is valid. The connector will function identically in the application. Verify that your assembly process can accommodate the alternative packaging format.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both MEC6-130-02-L-DV-A-TR and MEC6-130-02-L-DV-A are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both parts have MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
