Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the QTE-020-02-F-D-A-K are determined by matching the following critical parameters:

• Number of positions: 40
• Pitch: 0.031" (0.80mm)
• Number of rows: 2
• Connector type: Header, Outer Shroud Contacts
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Contact finish: Gold
• Contact finish thickness: 3.00µin (0.076µm)
• Height above board: 0.286" (7.26mm)
• Mated stacking height: 8mm
• Series: Q Strip® QTE
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

Variations in packaging format (Tray versus Tape & Reel) do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility and are therefore acceptable substitution criteria.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both QTE-020-02-F-D-A-K and QTE-020-02-F-D-A-K-TR are Active status components with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by manufacturing and assembly process requirements:

• QTE-020-02-F-D-A-K (Tray packaging) is suitable for manual assembly operations and lower-volume production runs.
• QTE-020-02-F-D-A-K-TR (Tape & Reel packaging) is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly and high-volume manufacturing environments.

Both parts maintain full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring compatibility with standard PCB assembly processes and storage conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can QTE-020-02-F-D-A-K-TR be used as a direct replacement for QTE-020-02-F-D-A-K?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format. QTE-020-02-F-D-A-K-TR uses Tape & Reel packaging while QTE-020-02-F-D-A-K uses Tray packaging. Selection depends on assembly process requirements.

Q: What determines compatibility between these connector headers?

A: Compatibility is determined by matching position count (40), pitch (0.031"/0.80mm), row configuration (2 rows), connector type (Header with Outer Shroud Contacts), mounting method (Surface Mount), contact finish (Gold at 3.00µin thickness), and board height specifications (0.286" above board, 8mm mated stacking height).

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS3 compliance status, REACH unaffected designation, and MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). Regulatory and environmental compliance is equivalent.

Q: Which packaging format should be selected for automated assembly?

A: QTE-020-02-F-D-A-K-TR (Tape & Reel) is designed for automated pick-and-place equipment and is the standard choice for high-volume production. QTE-020-02-F-D-A-K (Tray) is suitable for manual or semi-automated assembly processes.
