• Connector Type & Series: Header with outer shroud contacts from Q Strip® QTS series
• Electrical Configuration: 100 positions, 2 rows, 0.025" (0.64mm) pitch
• Contact Properties: Gold finish at 3.00µin thickness
• Mechanical Specifications: Surface mount mounting type, 0.160" height above board, 5mm mated stacking height
• Features: Board guide and ground bus plane functionality
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliant, MSL 1 rating
• Manufacturer: Samtec Inc.

The identified substitute part differs only in packaging format, maintaining complete electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the QTS-050-01-F-D-A-TR and QTS-050-01-F-D-A are active products manufactured by Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The sole distinction is packaging format: Tape & Reel versus Tray.

Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Assembly Process Requirements: Tape & Reel packaging (QTS-050-01-F-D-A-TR) is optimized for automated pick-and-place equipment. Tray packaging (QTS-050-01-F-D-A) is suitable for manual handling or alternative assembly workflows.
• Inventory Management: Both parts maintain active stock status with comparable availability.
• Compliance Equivalence: Both parts meet ROHS3 compliance and carry MSL 1 rating, ensuring equivalent environmental and regulatory performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are QTS-050-01-F-D-A-TR and QTS-050-01-F-D-A electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts are 100-position headers with identical pitch (0.025"), contact finish (gold at 3.00µin), and electrical configuration. They are direct functional equivalents.

Q: What is the only difference between these two parts?

A: Packaging format. QTS-050-01-F-D-A-TR ships in Tape & Reel format, while QTS-050-01-F-D-A ships in Tray format. The connector itself is identical.

Q: Can I use QTS-050-01-F-D-A in place of QTS-050-01-F-D-A-TR in my assembly?

A: Yes, provided your assembly process can accommodate Tray packaging. The connector performance and board-level compatibility are identical.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both QTS-050-01-F-D-A-TR and QTS-050-01-F-D-A are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating.

Q: Which packaging format should I specify for high-volume automated assembly?

A: Tape & Reel format (QTS-050-01-F-D-A-TR) is standard for automated pick-and-place operations. Tray format (QTS-050-01-F-D-A) is used when manual handling or alternative feeding systems are employed.
