Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the QTS-025-01-F-D-A-TR is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain identical:

• Number of Positions: 50
• Pitch: 0.025" (0.64mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Contact Finish Thickness: 3.00µin (0.076µm)
• Height Above Board: 0.160" (4.06mm)
• Mated Stacking Height: 5mm
• Features: Board Guide, Ground Bus (Plane)
• Series: Q Strip® QTS

The identified substitute part differs only in packaging configuration (Tray versus Tape & Reel), which does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. All other specifications remain constant across the substitution group.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both QTS-025-01-F-D-A-TR and QTS-025-01-F-D-A are Active products from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and supply chain considerations. The Tape & Reel (TR) packaging of QTS-025-01-F-D-A-TR is optimized for automated assembly processes, while the Tray packaging of QTS-025-01-F-D-A accommodates manual handling and smaller order quantities. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory compatibility across applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can QTS-025-01-F-D-A be used as a direct replacement for QTS-025-01-F-D-A-TR?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format. QTS-025-01-F-D-A uses Tray packaging while QTS-025-01-F-D-A-TR uses Tape & Reel packaging. Component performance and board-level compatibility remain unchanged.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference between TR and non-TR versions?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is designed for high-volume automated pick-and-place assembly. Tray packaging is suitable for manual assembly, lower-volume production, or applications where component handling flexibility is required. The connector itself functions identically regardless of packaging format.

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

A: No. Both QTS-025-01-F-D-A-TR and QTS-025-01-F-D-A maintain identical RoHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 ratings.

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

A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters remain constant: 50 positions, 0.025" pitch, 2 rows, surface mount configuration, gold contact finish at 3.00µin thickness, 0.160" height above board, 5mm mated stacking height, and board guide with ground bus features.
