QTE-020-01-H-D-A-TR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The QTE-020-01-H-D-A-TR is a 40-position rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc. as part of the Q Strip® QTE series. This surface mount component features outer shroud contacts with gold plating and is designed for applications requiring dual-row header connectivity with board guide and ground bus functionality. The part is currently in active product status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified based on identical electrical and mechanical specifications with variations in packaging configuration only.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the QTE-020-01-H-D-A-TR is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Number of positions: 40
• Number of rows: 2
• Pitch: 0.031" (0.80mm)
• Connector type: Header, Outer Shroud Contacts
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Contact finish: Gold at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
• Height above board: 0.168" (4.27mm)
• Mated stacking height: 5mm
• Features: Board Guide, Ground Bus (Plane)
• Series: Q Strip® QTE
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

Packaging configuration (Tape & Reel versus Tray) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility and therefore does not preclude substitution. The identified substitute part maintains identical specifications across all functional and dimensional parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the QTE-020-01-H-D-A-TR and QTE-020-01-H-D-A maintain active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging and supply chain requirements rather than functional or mechanical considerations. The Tape & Reel packaging of the main part number supports automated assembly processes, while the Tray packaging of the substitute part accommodates alternative handling and storage protocols. Both configurations deliver identical electrical and mechanical performance in the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can QTE-020-01-H-D-A be used as a direct replacement for QTE-020-01-H-D-A-TR?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format: Tape & Reel versus Tray. This distinction does not affect component performance or compatibility in the application.

Q: What parameters must remain constant for substitution eligibility?

A: The following parameters must be identical: 40 positions, 2 rows, 0.031" (0.80mm) pitch, Header with Outer Shroud Contacts, Surface Mount configuration, Gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness, 0.168" height above board, 5mm mated stacking height, Board Guide and Ground Bus features, and ROHS3 compliance with MSL 1 rating.

Q: Does packaging format affect board assembly compatibility?

A: Packaging format affects supply chain handling, storage, and automated pick-and-place processes but does not alter the component's electrical or mechanical interface with the PCB or mating connector.

Q: Are both parts currently available?

A: Both parts maintain active product status. Inventory availability should be confirmed through the supplier, as stock levels vary independently based on packaging configuration.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry ECCN EAR99 classification with HTSUS code 8536.69.4040. MSL rating of 1 indicates unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions.
