Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MEC8-130-02-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 only.

The substitute part MEC8-130-02-L-DV-A maintains identical specifications across all critical parameters:

• Electrical configuration: 60 positions, dual row, 0.031" pitch
• Mechanical design: Dual edge card type, 0.062" card thickness, hairpin bellows contact type
• Material composition: Phosphor bronze contacts with gold finish (10.0µin thickness), LCP insulation
• Environmental performance: -55°C to 125°C operating range, MSL Level 1
• Compliance: RoHS3 compliant, EAR99 classification

The only distinction is the packaging format: the main part (MEC8-130-02-L-DV-A-TR) is supplied in Tape & Reel format, while the substitute (MEC8-130-02-L-DV-A) is supplied in Tray format. Both parts share the identical base product number MEC8-130 and series designation MEC8-DV.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MEC8-130-02-L-DV-A-TR and MEC8-130-02-L-DV-A are active production parts from Samtec Inc. with full RoHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging and supply chain requirements rather than electrical or mechanical performance.

The Tape & Reel format (MEC8-130-02-L-DV-A-TR) is optimized for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments. The Tray format (MEC8-130-02-L-DV-A) is suitable for manual assembly, lower-volume applications, or when tape-and-reel handling equipment is unavailable.

Both parts are functionally interchangeable in all circuit applications and meet identical environmental, thermal, and compliance specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are MEC8-130-02-L-DV-A-TR and MEC8-130-02-L-DV-A electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical electrical specifications including 60 positions, 0.031" pitch, dual row configuration, hairpin bellows contact type, and gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts with 10.0µin finish thickness.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) format supplies components on continuous carrier tape wound on a reel, designed for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Tray format supplies components in static-dissipative trays, suitable for manual handling and assembly processes.

Q: Can I use MEC8-130-02-L-DV-A in place of MEC8-130-02-L-DV-A-TR?

A: Yes, provided your assembly process can accommodate tray-packaged components. The connector specifications, performance characteristics, and compliance certifications are identical.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both MEC8-130-02-L-DV-A-TR and MEC8-130-02-L-DV-A carry RoHS3 compliance certification.

Q: What is the MSL rating for these connectors?

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

Q: Do these parts have the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across -55°C to 125°C temperature range.
