Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MEC6-130-02-S-DV-A-TR is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Manufacturer: Samtec Inc.
• Series: MEC6 - DV
• Number of Positions: 60
• Gender: Female
• Pitch: 0.025" (0.64mm)
• Card Type: Non Specified - Dual Edge
• Number of Rows: 2
• Card Thickness: 0.062" (1.57mm)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Termination: Solder
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Insulation Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)

The primary difference between the main part and its substitute lies in packaging configuration. The MEC6-130-02-S-DV-A-TR is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while the substitute MEC6-130-02-S-DV-A is supplied in Tray packaging. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring functional interchangeability in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MEC6-130-02-S-DV-A-TR and MEC6-130-02-S-DV-A maintain Active product status and full ROHS3 compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement and assembly workflow requirements:

The MEC6-130-02-S-DV-A-TR in Tape & Reel packaging is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly processes, providing continuous component feed and reduced handling time in high-volume manufacturing environments.

The MEC6-130-02-S-DV-A in Tray packaging is suitable for manual assembly operations, kit-based procurement, or applications where automated feeder compatibility is not required.

Both configurations deliver identical electrical performance, mechanical fit, and environmental compliance across the specified operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. Both parts are functionally equivalent with identical electrical specifications, contact materials, finishes, and operating temperature ranges. 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 continuous carrier tape suitable for automated assembly equipment. Tray packaging supplies components in static-dissipative trays for manual handling and assembly. Both formats contain the same connector specifications.

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

A: Yes, from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. However, packaging format affects procurement logistics and assembly process compatibility. Verify your assembly equipment and supply chain requirements before substitution.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both MEC6-130-02-S-DV-A-TR and MEC6-130-02-S-DV-A are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited).

Q: What is the pitch specification for these connectors?

A: Both parts feature 0.025" (0.64mm) pitch spacing, which determines compatibility with corresponding card edge designs and mating connectors.

Q: What is the contact finish specification?

A: Both parts use gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts with 30.0µin (0.76µm) finish thickness, providing corrosion resistance and reliable electrical contact.
