QSE-020-01-F-D-A-GP Equivalent & Substitute Parts
Part Overview
The QSE-020-01-F-D-A-GP is a 40-position rectangular connector receptacle manufactured by Samtec Inc. as part of the Q Strip® QSE series. This surface mount connector features center strip contacts with gold plating and is designed for applications requiring reliable interconnection with mated stacking height flexibility. The part is currently in active production status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating.
Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary when the primary part number becomes unavailable, when inventory constraints require alternative sourcing, or when design flexibility permits selection from compatible alternatives within the same electrical and mechanical parameter set.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
Substitution eligibility for the QSE-020-01-F-D-A-GP is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:
- Connector type and contact configuration (Receptacle, Center Strip Contacts)
- Electrical specifications (40 positions, 0.031" pitch, 2 rows)
- Physical mounting characteristics (Surface Mount)
- Contact material and finish (Gold, 3.00µin thickness)
- Mechanical dimensions (Height Above Board: 0.128")
- Regulatory compliance (ROHS3, MSL 1)
- Series designation (Q Strip® QSE)
Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as parametric equivalents and may be substituted without modification to PCB layout, mating interface, or electrical performance characteristics.
