Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The QSE-028-01-L-D-DP-A-TR and QSE-028-01-L-D-DP-A are functionally equivalent based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical connector type, position count, and pitch
• Identical mounting type and surface mount configuration
• Identical contact finish and finish thickness
• Identical electrical and mechanical features (board guide, ground bus)
• Identical compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1)
• Same base product number (QSE-028)

The sole difference between these parts is packaging format: the main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while the substitute is supplied in Tray format. This distinction affects only logistics and assembly line integration, not component performance or compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both QSE-028-01-L-D-DP-A-TR and QSE-028-01-L-D-DP-A are active production parts with full ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Selection between these parts depends on assembly process requirements:

• QSE-028-01-L-D-DP-A-TR is appropriate for automated pick-and-place assembly using tape-fed component feeders.
• QSE-028-01-L-D-DP-A is appropriate for manual assembly or systems using tray-based component handling.

Both parts meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications and are suitable for differential pair array applications requiring 56-position surface mount connectors with 0.031" pitch.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are QSE-028-01-L-D-DP-A-TR and QSE-028-01-L-D-DP-A electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical connector type, position count, pitch, contact finish, and electrical features. They are functionally equivalent for all circuit applications.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous carrier tape suitable for automated pick-and-place machines. Tray packaging supplies components in static-protective trays suitable for manual assembly or alternative handling systems. The component itself is unchanged.

Q: Can I substitute QSE-028-01-L-D-DP-A for QSE-028-01-L-D-DP-A-TR in my design?

A: Yes, provided your assembly process can accommodate tray-based component handling. The electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both QSE-028-01-L-D-DP-A-TR and QSE-028-01-L-D-DP-A are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
