Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the QTH-060-03-H-D-A-TR is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type, position count, and pitch (120 positions at 0.020" spacing)
• Row configuration (2 rows)
• Mounting technology (Surface Mount)
• Contact material and finish specifications (Gold, 30.0µin thickness)
• Physical dimensions (Height above board, mated stacking height)
• Electrical and mechanical features (Board Guide, Ground Bus)
• Compliance certifications (RoHS3, MSL 1)

The identified substitute part QTH-060-03-H-D-A differs only in packaging format (Tray versus Tape & Reel). All electrical, mechanical, and performance characteristics remain identical. This substitution is valid for applications where packaging preference or inventory availability drives component selection.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the QTH-060-03-H-D-A-TR and QTH-060-03-H-D-A maintain Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and supply chain logistics. The Tape & Reel format (QTH-060-03-H-D-A-TR) is optimized for automated assembly processes, while the Tray format (QTH-060-03-H-D-A) accommodates manual handling and alternative placement equipment. Both parts are suitable for applications requiring high-density surface mount connectivity with gold-plated contacts and integrated ground bus functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can QTH-060-03-H-D-A be used as a direct replacement for QTH-060-03-H-D-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 your assembly process accommodates the alternative packaging.

Q: What determines compatibility between these connector headers?

A: Compatibility is determined by position count (120), pitch (0.020"), row configuration (2), mounting type (Surface Mount), contact finish (Gold, 30.0µin), physical dimensions, and integrated features (Board Guide, Ground Bus). Both parts match all these criteria.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, ECCN EAR99 classification, and HTSUS code 8536.69.4040.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) format is standard for high-volume automated assembly. Tray format is suitable for lower-volume production, manual assembly, or alternative placement equipment. Verify your assembly equipment specifications before selecting packaging.

Q: Is the contact finish thickness identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts feature 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold contact finish thickness, ensuring equivalent electrical performance and contact reliability.
