Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the QRF8-036-05.0-L-D-DP-A-TR is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type: Differential Pair Array, Female
• Number of positions: 72
• Pitch: 0.031" (0.80mm)
• Number of rows: 2
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Height above board: 0.197" (5.00mm)
• Contact finish: Gold at 10.0µin (0.25µm) thickness
• Features: Board Guide, Ground Bus (Plane)
• Mated stacking heights: 7mm, 10mm, 12mm
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

The only allowable variation between the main part and its substitute is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Tray), provided all electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the QRF8-036-05.0-L-D-DP-A-TR and QRF8-036-05.0-L-D-DP-A are active production parts from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and procurement logistics.

The QRF8-036-05.0-L-D-DP-A-TR in Tape & Reel packaging is suitable for automated assembly processes requiring continuous reel feed. The QRF8-036-05.0-L-D-DP-A in Tray packaging is suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume production runs.

Both parts meet ROHS3 compliance and carry MSL 1 rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Both are suitable for applications requiring differential pair array connectivity with the specified pitch, position count, and stacking height parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can QRF8-036-05.0-L-D-DP-A be used as a direct substitute for QRF8-036-05.0-L-D-DP-A-TR?

A: Yes. The parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format: Tape & Reel versus Tray. Substitution is valid provided your assembly process accommodates the tray packaging format.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging designation in the part number?

A: The "-TR" suffix indicates Tape & Reel packaging, optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly. The absence of this suffix indicates Tray packaging. Both formats contain identical connector components.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, ECCN EAR99 classification, and HTSUS code 8536.69.4040.

Q: What are the mated stacking height options?

A: Both parts support mated stacking heights of 7mm, 10mm, and 12mm, allowing flexibility in connector stack configuration for your application.

Q: Is the gold contact finish specification identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts feature gold contact finish at 10.0µin (0.25µm) thickness, ensuring equivalent electrical performance and reliability.
