Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the QFS-026-04.25-L-D-A-RT1-TR are identified based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the RF Q2™ QFS series. The critical parameters determining substitutability are:

• Number of positions: 54 (52 + 2 RF Jacks)
• Pitch: 0.025" (0.64mm)
• Number of rows: 2
• Connector type: Receptacle, Center Strip Contacts
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Contact finish: Gold at 10.0µin (0.25µm)
• Height above board: 0.278" (7.06mm)
• Mated stacking heights: 10mm, 11mm, 14mm
• Features: Board Guide, Ground Bus (Plane), RF Jacks (2)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3

The QFS-026-04.25-L-D-A-RT1 variant differs only in packaging format (Tray versus Tape & Reel), which does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Both parts share identical base product number QFS-026 and all functional specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the QFS-026-04.25-L-D-A-RT1-TR and QFS-026-04.25-L-D-A-RT1 are Active status components from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging and supply chain requirements:

• QFS-026-04.25-L-D-A-RT1-TR: Tape & Reel packaging suitable for automated assembly processes
• QFS-026-04.25-L-D-A-RT1: Tray packaging suitable for manual assembly or alternative handling requirements

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, EAR99 export classification, and identical HTSUS coding. The MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) indicates no moisture sensitivity constraints for either variant. Component selection should be based on manufacturing process requirements and inventory management protocols rather than technical performance differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are QFS-026-04.25-L-D-A-RT1-TR and QFS-026-04.25-L-D-A-RT1 electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications including position count, pitch, contact finish, and RF jack configuration. They differ only in packaging format.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is designed for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Tray packaging is used for manual assembly or alternative handling methods. The connector itself is functionally identical.

Q: Can I substitute QFS-026-04.25-L-D-A-RT1 for QFS-026-04.25-L-D-A-RT1-TR in production?

A: Substitution is possible from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. However, packaging format compatibility with your assembly process must be confirmed. Automated assembly lines typically require Tape & Reel format.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both QFS-026-04.25-L-D-A-RT1-TR and QFS-026-04.25-L-D-A-RT1 are ROHS3 compliant.

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

A: Both parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.

Q: Do these parts have any export restrictions?

A: Both parts are classified as EAR99, which is the most permissive export classification category.
