Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The QTS-075-01-L-D-A-K and its identified substitute differ only in packaging configuration. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Number of positions: 150
• Pitch: 0.025" (0.64mm)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Contact finish and thickness: Gold, 10.0µin
• Height specifications: 0.160" above board, 5mm mated stacking height
• Compliance certifications: ROHS3, MSL 1, REACH Unaffected

The substitution is valid based on packaging type alone, allowing selection between Tray and Tape & Reel configurations for procurement and assembly requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both QTS-075-01-L-D-A-K and QTS-075-01-L-D-A-K-TR are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring a 150-position surface mount connector header with 0.025" pitch and gold contacts. Selection between these parts should be based on assembly process requirements and inventory management:

• QTS-075-01-L-D-A-K (Tray packaging) is appropriate for manual assembly operations and lower-volume production runs.
• QTS-075-01-L-D-A-K-TR (Tape & Reel packaging) is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly processes and high-volume manufacturing.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory compatibility across applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can QTS-075-01-L-D-A-K-TR be used as a direct replacement for QTS-075-01-L-D-A-K?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The difference is packaging format: Tray versus Tape & Reel. Selection depends on assembly equipment and process requirements, not component performance.

Q: What is the significance of the "-TR" suffix in QTS-075-01-L-D-A-K-TR?

A: The "-TR" designation indicates Tape & Reel packaging, which is standard for automated assembly lines. The base part QTS-075-01-L-D-A-K uses Tray packaging for manual or semi-automated processes.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these substitute parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical electrical specifications: 150 positions, 0.025" pitch, gold contact finish at 10.0µin thickness, and 5mm mated stacking height.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both QTS-075-01-L-D-A-K and QTS-075-01-L-D-A-K-TR are ROHS3 compliant, carry MSL 1 rating, and are REACH unaffected.

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

A: QTS-075-01-L-D-A-K-TR (Tape & Reel) is designed for automated pick-and-place assembly and is the standard choice for high-volume manufacturing operations.
