Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the QTH-060-01-F-D-A-TR is determined by strict equivalence across 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: 3.00µin (0.076µm)
• Height Above Board: 0.160" (4.06mm)
• Mated Stacking Heights: 5mm
• Features: Board Guide, Ground Bus (Plane)
• Base Product Number: QTH-060
• Series: Q Strip® QTH

The identified substitute part differs only in packaging format (Tray versus Cut Tape) and inventory availability. All electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical, making this part a direct functional equivalent for applications where packaging preference or supply chain requirements necessitate an alternative sourcing option.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the QTH-060-01-F-D-A-TR and QTH-060-01-F-D-A are active production parts manufactured by Samtec Inc. with identical ROHS3 compliance and MSL ratings. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging and supply requirements:

The QTH-060-01-F-D-A-TR in cut tape packaging is suitable for applications requiring smaller order quantities or automated pick-and-place operations optimized for tape-fed component handling. The QTH-060-01-F-D-A in tray packaging is appropriate for higher-volume production runs or when tray-based material handling systems are employed in manufacturing operations. Both parts maintain full functional and mechanical equivalence for all circuit design and PCB assembly applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Tray versus Cut Tape). They are functionally interchangeable in all circuit applications.

Q: What does the "-TR" suffix indicate in the part number?

A: The "-TR" suffix designates cut tape packaging. The base part number QTH-060-01-F-D-A without this suffix indicates tray packaging.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical ROHS3 compliance, MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), and are manufactured to the same specifications by Samtec Inc.

Q: Which packaging option should I select for my application?

A: Selection depends on your manufacturing process. Cut tape (QTH-060-01-F-D-A-TR) is optimized for automated tape-fed assembly. Tray packaging (QTH-060-01-F-D-A) is suited for higher-volume production or manual handling workflows.

Q: Are the contact specifications identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts feature 120 gold-plated contacts with 3.00µin finish thickness, 0.020" (0.50mm) pitch, and identical mechanical dimensions including 0.160" (4.06mm) height above board.
