Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part QFS-026-06.25-SL-D-A-P-TR is functionally equivalent to the main part based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical connector type, position count, and pitch
• Identical mounting configuration and surface mount technology
• Identical contact finish material and thickness
• Identical electrical and mechanical performance characteristics
• Identical series designation and base product number

The only difference between these parts is the packaging format: the main part is supplied in Tray packaging, while the substitute is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both parts maintain identical form, fit, and function for circuit board assembly applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the QFS-026-06.25-SL-D-A-P and QFS-026-06.25-SL-D-A-P-TR are active products from Samtec Inc. with full ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. Selection between these parts should be based on assembly process requirements and supply chain logistics:

The Tray packaging format is suitable for manual assembly operations and lower-volume production runs. The Tape & Reel format is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly systems and high-volume manufacturing environments. Both formats deliver identical component performance and reliability characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are these parts electrically and mechanically identical? A: Yes. Both parts are identical in all electrical and mechanical specifications, including position count, pitch, contact finish, and mounting configuration. The only difference is the packaging format.

Q: What is the difference between Tray and Tape & Reel packaging? A: Tray packaging is used for manual handling and lower-volume assembly. Tape & Reel packaging is designed for automated pick-and-place equipment and high-volume production. The components themselves are functionally identical.

Q: Can I use the Tape & Reel version in place of the Tray version? A: Yes, provided your assembly process supports Tape & Reel format. The electrical and mechanical performance is identical. Verify that your pick-and-place equipment is compatible with the tape specifications.

Q: Do both parts have the same compliance certifications? A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating and carry the same ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Q: What are the mated stacking heights? A: Both parts support mated stacking heights of 12mm, 13mm, and 16mm, allowing flexibility in connector stack configurations.
