Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The QTH-030-09-L-D-A-TR has one identified substitute: QTH-030-09-L-D-A. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain identical:

• Number of positions: 60
• Pitch: 0.020" (0.50mm)
• Number of rows: 2
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Connector type: Header, Outer Shroud Contacts
• Contact finish: Gold
• Contact finish thickness: 10.0µin (0.25µm)
• Height above board: 0.522" (13.25mm)
• Mated stacking heights: 14mm
• Series: Q Strip® QTH
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part differs only in packaging format: the main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while the substitute is supplied in Tray format. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, making them functionally interchangeable for circuit design purposes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the QTH-030-09-L-D-A-TR and QTH-030-09-L-D-A are active production components with identical ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity ratings. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging and supply chain requirements rather than electrical or mechanical performance, as all functional parameters are equivalent.

The Tape & Reel format (QTH-030-09-L-D-A-TR) is optimized for automated assembly processes with high-volume production runs. The Tray format (QTH-030-09-L-D-A) provides flexibility for lower-volume applications or manual assembly workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are QTH-030-09-L-D-A-TR and QTH-030-09-L-D-A electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical electrical specifications including 60 positions, 0.020" pitch, gold contact finish at 10.0µin thickness, and all other functional parameters.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The only difference is packaging format. QTH-030-09-L-D-A-TR is supplied in Tape & Reel format for automated pick-and-place assembly. QTH-030-09-L-D-A is supplied in Tray format for manual handling or alternative assembly methods.

Q: Can I use QTH-030-09-L-D-A in place of QTH-030-09-L-D-A-TR on my PCB?

A: Yes. The components are mechanically and electrically interchangeable. The choice between them depends on your assembly process and supply chain logistics, not on circuit design compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both QTH-030-09-L-D-A-TR and QTH-030-09-L-D-A are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity).

Q: Which packaging format should I specify for my design?

A: Specify based on your manufacturing process. Use Tape & Reel (TR) for high-volume automated assembly. Use Tray format for lower volumes or manual assembly workflows. Both deliver identical component performance.
