Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

• Connector type: Differential pair array, male configuration
• Position count: 120 positions
• Pitch specification: 0.020" (0.50mm)
• Row configuration: 2 rows
• Mounting technology: Surface mount
• Contact material and finish: Gold plating at 10.0µin thickness
• Mechanical envelope: 5mm mated stacking height, 0.160" height above board
• Functional features: Board guide and ground bus plane

The identified substitute part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The only permitted variation is packaging format, which does not affect connector functionality or board-level compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the QTH-060-01-L-D-DP-A-TR and QTH-060-01-L-D-DP-A are active production parts manufactured by Samtec Inc. and meet ROHS3 compliance requirements. The parts are electrically and mechanically identical, with substitution differentiated only by packaging format.

Selection between these parts should be based on procurement requirements and assembly process specifications. The tape and reel packaging (TR suffix) is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly operations. The tray packaging is suitable for manual handling or alternative assembly workflows. Both packaging formats contain the same connector component with identical performance characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can QTH-060-01-L-D-DP-A (tray) be used as a direct replacement for QTH-060-01-L-D-DP-A-TR (tape & reel)?

A: Yes. The connectors are electrically and mechanically identical. The difference is packaging format only. Tray packaging is compatible with any assembly process that can accommodate the alternative format.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between the two part numbers?

A: No. Both parts have identical electrical specifications, including contact finish, pitch, position count, and differential pair array configuration.

Q: What is the significance of the -TR suffix?

A: The -TR suffix designates tape and reel packaging, which is standard for automated surface mount assembly. The absence of this suffix indicates tray packaging.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both QTH-060-01-L-D-DP-A-TR and QTH-060-01-L-D-DP-A are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level).

Q: Which part should be selected for high-volume production?

A: Selection depends on assembly equipment capability. Tape and reel (TR) is standard for automated lines. Tray packaging may require manual handling or alternative feeder systems.
