Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the QTH-060-01-C-D-A-TR is determined by equivalence in the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: 120
• Pitch: 0.020" (0.50mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Connector Type: Header, Outer Shroud Contacts
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Contact Finish Thickness: 50.0µin (1.27µm)
• Height Above Board: 0.160" (4.06mm)
• Mated Stacking Heights: 5mm
• Features: Board Guide, Ground Bus (Plane)
• Base Product Number: QTH-060
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part QTH-060-01-C-D-A differs only in packaging format (Tray versus Tape & Reel). All electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both QTH-060-01-C-D-A-TR and QTH-060-01-C-D-A are Active status products manufactured by Samtec Inc. and meet ROHS3 compliance requirements. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging and supply chain requirements rather than electrical or mechanical performance. The QTH-060-01-C-D-A-TR is supplied in Tape & Reel format, suitable for automated assembly processes. The QTH-060-01-C-D-A is supplied in Tray format, suitable for manual assembly or alternative handling requirements. Both parts are MSL 1 rated, indicating no moisture sensitivity limitations during storage and handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can QTH-060-01-C-D-A be used as a direct replacement for QTH-060-01-C-D-A-TR?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format. QTH-060-01-C-D-A uses Tray packaging while QTH-060-01-C-D-A-TR uses Tape & Reel packaging. Component performance and board-level compatibility are identical.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is optimized for high-volume automated assembly lines with pick-and-place equipment. Tray packaging is used for lower-volume production, manual assembly, or alternative handling methods. The choice depends on manufacturing process requirements, not component specifications.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 ratings. Regulatory and environmental certifications are equivalent.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for storage?

A: MSL 1 indicates the component has no moisture sensitivity limitations. Storage conditions do not require special humidity control, and the part can be stored indefinitely without moisture bake-out procedures.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in the same PCB design?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including pitch, number of positions, mounting type, height above board, and contact finish. PCB footprints and mating interfaces are identical.
