Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the QTH-060-02-H-D-A-K 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: 30.0µin (0.76µm)
• Height Above Board: 0.286" (7.26mm)
• Mated Stacking Height: 8mm
• Series: Q Strip® QTH
• Base Product Number: QTH-060

The identified substitute differs only in packaging configuration (Tray versus Tape & Reel), which does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Both parts maintain identical connector specifications, contact characteristics, and board-level integration requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the QTH-060-02-H-D-A-K and QTH-060-02-H-D-A-K-TR maintain Active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement and assembly requirements:

The Tray packaging (QTH-060-02-H-D-A-K) is suitable for manual assembly, kit preparation, and lower-volume production workflows. The Tape & Reel packaging (QTH-060-02-H-D-A-K-TR) is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly and high-volume manufacturing operations. Both configurations deliver identical electrical performance, mechanical fit, and environmental compliance for board-level integration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Tray). The connector specifications, contact characteristics, board-level dimensions, and performance parameters are identical.

Q: What is the significance of the "-TR" suffix in QTH-060-02-H-D-A-K-TR?

A: The "-TR" suffix designates Tape & Reel packaging, which is standard for automated assembly processes. The base connector specifications remain unchanged.

Q: Are there any compatibility differences between Tray and Tape & Reel versions?

A: No. Both versions use identical connector headers with the same 120-position configuration, 0.020" pitch, 2-row layout, and gold contact finish. Packaging differences do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

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

A: Tape & Reel packaging (QTH-060-02-H-D-A-K-TR) is recommended for high-volume automated assembly. Tray packaging (QTH-060-02-H-D-A-K) is suitable for manual assembly and lower-volume applications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both QTH-060-02-H-D-A-K and QTH-060-02-H-D-A-K-TR are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity) and maintain Active product status.
