Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the QMS-052-02-SL-D-RA-MG-K is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The following criteria establish substitutability:

• Identical position count (104 positions)
• Identical pitch specification (0.025" / 0.64mm)
• Identical row configuration (2 rows)
• Identical connector type (Header, Outer Shroud Contacts)
• Identical mounting type (Surface Mount, Right Angle; Through Hole)
• Identical contact finish and thickness (Gold, 10.0µin)
• Identical height above board (0.320" / 8.12mm)
• Identical series designation (Power Q2™ QMS)
• Identical compliance certifications (RoHS3, MSL 1)

Packaging configuration (Tray versus Cut Tape) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility and represents the only allowable variation among substitute parts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both QMS-052-02-SL-D-RA-MG-K and QMS-052-02-SL-D-RA-MG-K-TR maintain Active product status with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined solely by packaging and supply chain requirements. The Tray packaging (QMS-052-02-SL-D-RA-MG-K) is suitable for manual assembly and lower-volume applications. The Cut Tape packaging (QMS-052-02-SL-D-RA-MG-K-TR) is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly processes and higher-volume production environments. Both variants satisfy RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 requirements without restriction.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are QMS-052-02-SL-D-RA-MG-K and QMS-052-02-SL-D-RA-MG-K-TR electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. They feature the same 104-position configuration, 0.025" pitch, gold contact finish, and mounting specifications. The difference is packaging only.

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

A: Tray packaging is used for manual component handling and lower-volume assembly. Cut Tape packaging is designed for automated pick-and-place equipment and high-volume production. The connector itself is identical in both formats.

Q: Can I substitute QMS-052-02-SL-D-RA-MG-K-TR for QMS-052-02-SL-D-RA-MG-K in my design?

A: Yes, provided your assembly process supports Cut Tape packaging. The electrical and mechanical performance is identical. Verify that your pick-and-place equipment is compatible with the Cut Tape format.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both QMS-052-02-SL-D-RA-MG-K and QMS-052-02-SL-D-RA-MG-K-TR are RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating.

Q: What does MSL 1 mean for this connector?

A: MSL 1 indicates unlimited moisture sensitivity level, meaning the component has no moisture absorption restrictions and requires no special storage or handling conditions prior to assembly.
