Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the QFS-026-06.25-SL-D-A-TR is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type and contact configuration (Receptacle, Center Strip Contacts)
• Electrical specifications (52 positions, 0.025" pitch, 2 rows)
• Physical dimensions (Height above board: 0.356", mated stacking heights: 12mm, 13mm, 16mm)
• Contact material and finish (Gold, 10.0µin thickness)
• Mounting technology (Surface Mount)
• Functional features (Board Guide, Ground Bus)
• Compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1)

The identified substitute part differs only in packaging format (Tray versus Tape & Reel), which does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. All other specifications remain identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the QFS-026-06.25-SL-D-A-TR and QFS-026-06.25-SL-D-A are active products manufactured by Samtec Inc. and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging and handling requirements:

The QFS-026-06.25-SL-D-A-TR in Tape & Reel packaging is suitable for automated assembly processes requiring continuous component feed. The QFS-026-06.25-SL-D-A in Tray packaging is suitable for manual assembly, lower-volume production, or applications where tape-based handling is not required.

Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 requirements, ensuring compatibility with standard manufacturing and storage protocols. Inventory availability should be evaluated based on production timeline and volume requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can QFS-026-06.25-SL-D-A be used as a direct replacement for QFS-026-06.25-SL-D-A-TR?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Tray versus Tape & Reel). Selection depends on assembly process requirements and handling infrastructure.

Q: Does packaging format affect connector performance or reliability?

A: No. Packaging format is a logistics and manufacturing consideration only. Electrical performance, mechanical fit, and reliability characteristics are identical between the two parts.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 ratings. No additional testing or qualification is required when switching between these parts.

Q: What is the significance of the "-TR" suffix in the part number?

A: The "-TR" suffix designates Tape & Reel packaging format. Removal of this suffix indicates Tray packaging. All other specifications remain unchanged.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in the same PCB assembly?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical footprints, mating heights, and contact configurations. No PCB redesign or assembly process modification is required.
