Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the QTH-030-01-F-D-K is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Header with outer shroud contacts
• Electrical Specifications: 60 positions, 0.020" (0.50mm) pitch, 2-row arrangement
• Physical Dimensions: 0.160" (4.06mm) height above board, 5mm mated stacking height
• Material & Finish: Gold contact finish at 3.00µin (0.076µm) thickness
• Mounting Technology: Surface mount assembly
• Compliance & Ratings: ROHS3 compliant, MSL 1 rating

The identified substitute part QTH-030-01-F-D-K-TR maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The difference is limited to packaging format: the main part is supplied in Tray packaging, while the substitute is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. Both parts share the same base product number (QTH-030) and series designation (Q Strip® QTH).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both QTH-030-01-F-D-K and QTH-030-01-F-D-K-TR are Active products with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and manufacturing process compatibility:

• Tray Packaging (QTH-030-01-F-D-K): Suitable for manual assembly, kit preparation, or applications where bulk component organization is preferred.
• Cut Tape Packaging (QTH-030-01-F-D-K-TR): Optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly systems and high-volume production workflows.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with standard surface mount assembly processes and storage conditions. The choice between packaging formats does not affect electrical performance, mechanical fit, or environmental compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can QTH-030-01-F-D-K-TR be used as a direct replacement for QTH-030-01-F-D-K?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Cut Tape versus Tray). The component itself, its performance characteristics, and compliance ratings are equivalent.

Q: Does packaging format affect PCB assembly compatibility?

A: No. Packaging format affects only the supply and handling method. Once the component is placed on the PCB, the electrical and mechanical performance is identical regardless of original packaging.

Q: Are there any height or footprint differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts have identical height above board (0.160" / 4.06mm) and mated stacking height (5mm). PCB footprints and assembly clearances are the same.

Q: Which packaging format is better for automated assembly?

A: Cut Tape (CT) packaging is optimized for automated pick-and-place equipment. Tray packaging is more suitable for manual assembly or component kit applications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both QTH-030-01-F-D-K and QTH-030-01-F-D-K-TR are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating. Environmental and regulatory compliance is identical.
