Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The YFS-20-03-H-05-SB-K-TR qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is determined by the following critical parameters that remain constant across both parts:

• Connector Type: Array, Female Sockets
• Number of Positions: 100
• Pitch: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Number of Rows: 5
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Contact Finish: Gold at 30.0µin (0.76µm)
• Height Above Board: 0.134" (3.40mm)
• Mated Stacking Heights: 5mm, 7mm, 9mm, 12mm, 19mm, 25mm
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The only difference between the main part and its substitute is the packaging configuration: Tray versus Tape & Reel. Both parts share the same base product number (YFS-20) and are manufactured by Samtec Inc. under the same series designation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the YFS-20-03-H-05-SB-K and YFS-20-03-H-05-SB-K-TR are active products manufactured by Samtec Inc. and maintain full ROHS3 compliance and REACH compliance status. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement and assembly requirements:

The Tray packaging (YFS-20-03-H-05-SB-K) is suitable for manual handling, kit assembly, and lower-volume production workflows. Current inventory shows 92,700 pieces in stock.

The Tape & Reel packaging (YFS-20-03-H-05-SB-K-TR) is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment and high-volume manufacturing. Current inventory shows 843 pieces in stock.

Both configurations deliver identical electrical performance, mechanical fit, and environmental compliance. The choice between them depends solely on assembly process requirements and supply chain logistics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the YFS-20-03-H-05-SB-K and YFS-20-03-H-05-SB-K-TR electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical electrical specifications, including 100 positions, 0.050" pitch, gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness, and all mated stacking height options (5mm through 25mm).

Q: What is the difference between Tray and Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Tray packaging presents components in a flat tray format suitable for manual assembly and kit distribution. Tape & Reel packaging winds components on continuous tape with carrier film, optimized for automated pick-and-place machinery and high-volume production lines.

Q: Can I use Tape & Reel parts in manual assembly processes?

A: Yes. The component itself is identical; only the packaging format differs. However, Tape & Reel packaging is designed for automated equipment and may require additional handling steps if used in manual assembly workflows.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both YFS-20-03-H-05-SB-K and YFS-20-03-H-05-SB-K-TR are ROHS3 compliant and REACH affected.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level for these connectors?

A: Both parts carry an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating they have no moisture sensitivity restrictions and do not require special storage or handling conditions.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB?

A: Yes. The mechanical footprint, electrical performance, and all functional parameters are identical. The only difference is the supply format.
