Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the QTH-060-02-C-D-A-TR is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

• Number of positions: 120
• Pitch: 0.020" (0.50mm)
• Number of rows: 2
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Contact finish: Gold
• Contact finish thickness: 50.0µin (1.27µm)
• Height above board: 0.286" (7.26mm)
• Mated stacking height: 8mm
• Features: Board Guide, Ground Bus (Plane)
• Base product number: QTH-060
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

The identified substitute part differs only in packaging configuration (Tape & Reel versus Tray), which does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Both parts are manufactured by Samtec Inc. within the same Q Strip® QTH series and maintain identical connector specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the QTH-060-02-C-D-A-TR and QTH-060-02-C-D-A are active production components manufactured by Samtec Inc. and maintain full ROHS3 compliance. The parts are electrically and mechanically identical, with differences limited to packaging format. Selection between these parts should be based on assembly process requirements and inventory availability. The Tape & Reel (TR) packaging of the main part is suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly operations, while the Tray packaging of the substitute part accommodates manual or alternative assembly workflows. Both parts carry MSL 1 rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage and handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can QTH-060-02-C-D-A be used as a direct replacement for QTH-060-02-C-D-A-TR?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format: Tape & Reel versus Tray. This distinction does not affect connector performance, electrical characteristics, or mechanical fit on the PCB.

Q: What is the significance of the "-TR" suffix in the part number?

A: The "-TR" suffix designates Tape & Reel packaging, which is optimized for automated assembly processes. The substitute part without this suffix uses Tray packaging, suitable for alternative assembly methods.

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

A: No. Both parts carry identical certifications: ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, and EAR99 export classification. They are functionally equivalent from a regulatory standpoint.

Q: What are the critical parameters that must match for substitution?

A: Position count (120), pitch (0.020"/0.50mm), row configuration (2), mounting type (Surface Mount), contact finish (Gold at 50.0µin thickness), and mechanical dimensions (0.286" height above board, 8mm mated stacking height) must remain constant for substitution eligibility.

Q: Which part should be selected based on assembly requirements?

A: Selection depends on manufacturing process. Tape & Reel packaging (QTH-060-02-C-D-A-TR) is standard for high-volume automated assembly. Tray packaging (QTH-060-02-C-D-A) is used when manual handling or non-standard assembly equipment is employed.

Q: Is inventory availability a factor in part selection?

A: Inventory levels may influence sourcing decisions. The substitute part (QTH-060-02-C-D-A) currently has higher availability (1182 Pcs) compared to the main part (850 Pcs), but both are in active stock.
