Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the QTH-030-03-C-D-A-TR is determined by equivalence in the following critical parameters:

• Connector type and contact configuration (Header, Outer Shroud Contacts)
• Electrical position count (60 positions)
• Contact pitch (0.020" / 0.50mm)
• Row configuration (2 rows)
• Surface mount mounting technology
• Gold contact finish with specified thickness
• Physical dimensions and stacking heights
• Compliance certifications (RoHS3, MSL Level 1)

The identified substitute part QTH-030-03-C-D-A differs only in packaging format (Tray versus Tape & Reel), while maintaining complete electrical and mechanical compatibility. All other specifications remain identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the QTH-030-03-C-D-A-TR and QTH-030-03-C-D-A are active production parts with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging and supply chain requirements rather than functional performance.

The QTH-030-03-C-D-A-TR in Tape & Reel packaging is suitable for automated assembly processes requiring continuous reel feeding. The QTH-030-03-C-D-A in Tray packaging accommodates manual assembly workflows or applications where reel-based handling is not required.

Both parts maintain full RoHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating, confirming suitability for standard manufacturing and storage conditions without moisture bake-out requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can QTH-030-03-C-D-A be used as a direct replacement for QTH-030-03-C-D-A-TR?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format: Tape & Reel versus Tray. Substitution is valid for any application where the connector specifications are met, provided assembly equipment can accommodate the alternative packaging.

Q: What determines compatibility between these connector parts?

A: Compatibility is determined by position count (60), pitch (0.020" / 0.50mm), row configuration (2), mounting type (Surface Mount), contact finish (Gold, 50.0µin thickness), and physical dimensions (0.404" height above board, 11mm mated stacking height). All these parameters are identical between the main part and substitute.

Q: Does packaging format affect connector performance?

A: No. Packaging format (Tape & Reel or Tray) affects only handling, storage, and assembly logistics. Electrical and mechanical performance of the connector itself is unchanged.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both QTH-030-03-C-D-A-TR and QTH-030-03-C-D-A carry full RoHS3 compliance certification.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both parts are rated MSL Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Standard storage and handling procedures apply without special moisture control requirements.
