QTH-060-01-F-D-DP-A-TR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The QTH-060-01-F-D-DP-A-TR is a 120-position differential pair array connector manufactured by Samtec Inc. as part of the Q Strip® QTH series. This surface mount male connector features gold-plated contacts and is designed for high-density interconnect applications requiring differential signaling. The part maintains Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified when packaging or inventory requirements necessitate alternative sourcing while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the QTH-060-01-F-D-DP-A-TR is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type and gender (Differential Pair Array, Male)
• Position count (120 positions)
• Contact pitch (0.020" / 0.50mm)
• Row configuration (2 rows)
• Surface mount mounting type
• Contact finish specification (Gold, 3.00µin thickness)
• Mechanical dimensions (5mm mated stacking height, 0.160" height above board)
• Board guide and ground bus plane features
• Compliance certifications (RoHS3, MSL 1)

The identified substitute differs only in packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Tray), which does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. All other specifications remain identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the QTH-060-01-F-D-DP-A-TR and QTH-060-01-F-D-DP-A maintain Active product status with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging and supply requirements:

The QTH-060-01-F-D-DP-A-TR is supplied in Tape & Reel format, suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly operations. The QTH-060-01-F-D-DP-A is supplied in Tray format, suitable for manual assembly or alternative handling processes. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, confirming suitability for standard manufacturing and storage environments. The substitute part offers higher current inventory availability (1507 units versus 839 units), which may influence procurement decisions based on lead time and volume requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Tray versus Tape & Reel). Substitution is valid provided assembly processes accommodate the alternative packaging format.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference between these parts?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is optimized for automated surface mount assembly with pick-and-place equipment. Tray packaging is used for manual assembly, kit assembly, or alternative handling methods. The connector itself is unchanged.

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

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, and Active product status. All regulatory and environmental certifications are equivalent.

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitution eligibility for this connector?

A: Substitution is valid only when the following parameters remain identical: 120-position count, 0.020" pitch, 2-row configuration, differential pair array male type, surface mount mounting, gold contact finish at 3.00µin thickness, 5mm mated stacking height, board guide and ground bus features, and RoHS3 compliance.

Q: Does packaging format affect connector performance or reliability?

A: No. Packaging format affects only handling, storage, and assembly logistics. Electrical performance, mechanical fit, and reliability characteristics are identical between Tape & Reel and Tray formats.
