Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts are grouped strictly according to identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Acceptable substitutes match in manufacturer, part series, connector type, number of positions, pitch, number of rows, surface-mount compatibility, key mechanical features, contact finish and thickness, stacking height, above-board height, base product number, RoHS status, and MSL rating. Only packaging differs, which can be relevant depending on assembly methods.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both QTE-040-03-F-D-A-TR and QTE-040-03-F-D-A maintain active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 (unlimited) ratings. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging preference: tape & reel (TR) or tray, as required by the production environment. No differences exist in electrical or mechanical parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What qualifies QTE-040-03-F-D-A as a direct substitute for QTE-040-03-F-D-A-TR?
A1: All relevant electrical and mechanical parameters are identical. The only difference is packaging: QTE-040-03-F-D-A-TR is supplied in tape & reel, while QTE-040-03-F-D-A is supplied in tray.

Q2: Are there differences in RoHS compliance or moisture sensitivity?
A2: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (unlimited).

Q3: Does packaging affect electrical or mechanical compatibility?
A3: No. Packaging only affects shipping and assembly method suitability; all other parameters remain the same.

Q4: How should the correct substitute be selected?
A4: Selection is based strictly on required packaging format for the assembly process. All other provided parameters are equivalent.

Q5: Are additional tests required when substituting these parts?
A5: Provided that packaging format matches assembly requirements, no other differing parameters are present.

Q6: Can these parts be intermixed in inventory or assemblies?
A6: Yes, if the packaging format is compatible with the production environment, they may be used interchangeably.
