Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The QTE-020-01-L-D-A-TR and QTE-020-01-L-D-A are functionally equivalent based on the following critical parameters:

• 40-position connector header configuration
• 0.031" (0.80mm) pitch spacing
• 2-row arrangement
• Surface mount technology
• Gold contact finish at 10.0µin thickness
• Identical mechanical dimensions and stacking heights
• Outer shroud contact design with board guide and ground bus features

The substitution relationship is determined solely by packaging format. The QTE-020-01-L-D-A-TR is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging, while the QTE-020-01-L-D-A is supplied in Tray packaging. Both maintain identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both QTE-020-01-L-D-A-TR and QTE-020-01-L-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 electrical or mechanical performance. The Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® format (QTE-020-01-L-D-A-TR) is suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly operations, while the Tray format (QTE-020-01-L-D-A) accommodates manual handling and bulk storage applications. Both parts carry identical REACH unaffected status and EAR99 export classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are QTE-020-01-L-D-A-TR and QTE-020-01-L-D-A electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical, with 40 positions, 0.031" pitch, gold contacts, and identical dimensional specifications. Substitution is valid for all electrical and mechanical applications.

Q: What is the only difference between these two part numbers?

A: The packaging format. QTE-020-01-L-D-A-TR uses Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® packaging, while QTE-020-01-L-D-A uses Tray packaging. All other specifications are identical.

Q: Can I use QTE-020-01-L-D-A in place of QTE-020-01-L-D-A-TR in automated assembly?

A: Tray packaging may require different feeder compatibility compared to Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® format. Verify feeder specifications with your assembly equipment manufacturer before substitution.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both QTE-020-01-L-D-A-TR and QTE-020-01-L-D-A are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export purposes.

Q: What is the MSL rating for these connectors?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity limitations for storage or handling.
