MEC6-150-02-L-DV-A-TR Card Edge Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MEC6-150-02-L-DV-A-TR is a 100-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 currently active in production and ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when packaging or inventory requirements necessitate alternative sourcing while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MEC6-150-02-L-DV-A-TR is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary differentiator between the main part and its substitute is packaging format. Both the MEC6-150-02-L-DV-A-TR (Tape & Reel) and MEC6-150-02-L-DV-A (Tray) share identical specifications across the following critical parameters:

• 100-position female connector configuration
• 0.025" (0.64mm) pitch spacing
• Dual-edge card type with 2 rows
• 0.062" (1.57mm) card thickness
• Surface mount solder termination
• Phosphor bronze contacts with 10.0µin gold finish
• Liquid Crystal Polymer insulation
• -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range
• ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating

The only distinction is the delivery packaging: Tape & Reel versus Tray. This difference does not affect electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, or functional characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MEC6-150-02-L-DV-A-TR and MEC6-150-02-L-DV-A are active production parts with identical ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 ratings. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement and assembly requirements:

• MEC6-150-02-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.
• MEC6-150-02-L-DV-A (Tray): Suitable for manual assembly, lower-volume production, or applications where tray packaging is preferred for handling and storage.

Both parts deliver identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility. The choice between them is driven by manufacturing process requirements and inventory management practices, not by technical specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are MEC6-150-02-L-DV-A-TR and MEC6-150-02-L-DV-A electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts are 100-position female card edge connectors with identical electrical specifications, including 0.025" pitch, phosphor bronze gold-plated contacts, and -55°C to 125°C operating range.

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

A: The packaging format. MEC6-150-02-L-DV-A-TR is supplied in Tape & Reel format, while MEC6-150-02-L-DV-A is supplied in Tray format. All other specifications are identical.

Q: Can I use MEC6-150-02-L-DV-A in place of MEC6-150-02-L-DV-A-TR?

A: Yes, provided your assembly process accommodates tray packaging instead of tape-and-reel. The connector itself is functionally equivalent.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: Which packaging format is better for automated assembly?

A: Tape & Reel (MEC6-150-02-L-DV-A-TR) is optimized for automated pick-and-place equipment. Tray packaging (MEC6-150-02-L-DV-A) is typically used for manual assembly or lower-volume applications.
