Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the QTE-060-02-F-D-A-TR is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Manufacturer and series consistency (Samtec Inc., Q Strip® QTE)
• Identical position count and row configuration (120 positions, 2 rows)
• Matching pitch specification (0.031" / 0.80mm)
• Identical connector type and contact configuration (Header, Outer Shroud Contacts)
• Matching contact finish and thickness (Gold, 3.00µin)
• Identical mechanical dimensions (Height Above Board, Mated Stacking Height)
• Equivalent compliance certifications (RoHS3, MSL 1)

The primary variable among qualified substitutes is packaging format. The QTE-060-02-F-D-A-TR is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while alternative part numbers may be available in Tray packaging. This distinction affects supply chain logistics and handling but does not alter electrical or mechanical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the QTE-060-02-F-D-A-TR and QTE-060-02-F-D-A are Active products with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and supply chain considerations:

The QTE-060-02-F-D-A-TR in Tape & Reel format is optimized for automated assembly processes with high-volume production runs. The QTE-060-02-F-D-A in Tray packaging accommodates manual assembly workflows or lower-volume applications. Both parts maintain full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring equivalent performance in regulated and moisture-sensitive environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can QTE-060-02-F-D-A be used as a direct replacement for QTE-060-02-F-D-A-TR?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The difference is packaging format only. QTE-060-02-F-D-A-TR uses Tape & Reel packaging, while QTE-060-02-F-D-A uses Tray packaging. Selection depends on assembly process requirements and handling procedures.

Q: What parameters must remain identical for substitution?

A: Position count (120), pitch (0.031" / 0.80mm), row configuration (2 rows), connector type (Header, Outer Shroud Contacts), contact finish (Gold, 3.00µin), mechanical dimensions, and compliance certifications (RoHS3, MSL 1) must all match exactly.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS3 compliance status and MSL 1 rating. ECCN and HTSUS classifications are also equivalent.

Q: How does packaging format affect component performance?

A: Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. It impacts supply chain logistics, handling procedures, and assembly automation compatibility. Tape & Reel format is standard for automated pick-and-place systems, while Tray format accommodates manual assembly or alternative handling methods.

Q: What is the base product number?

A: The base product number for both parts is QTE-060. Suffix designations (such as -02-F-D-A and packaging indicators like -TR) specify configuration and packaging variations within this base platform.
