Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the FC1-10-02-T are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching within the FC1 series. The substitution criteria are:

• Identical number of positions (10)
• Identical pitch spacing (0.039" / 1.00mm)
• Identical mounting type (Surface Mount, Right Angle)
• Identical connector/contact type (Contacts, Top and Bottom)
• Identical termination method (Solder)
• Identical current rating (2A per Contact)
• Identical operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C)
• Identical contact material (Phosphor Bronze)
• Identical contact finish (Tin)
• Identical housing material (Liquid Crystal Polymer)
• Identical FFC thickness (0.30mm)
• Identical cable end type (Straight)
• Identical features (Solder Retention)
• Identical mating cycles (25)
• Identical RoHS compliance (ROHS3)
• Identical MSL rating (1)

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as parametric equivalents and direct substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both FC1-10-02-T and FC1-10-02-T-WT are active production parts from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on inventory availability and procurement lead times. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, meeting regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications. The FC1-10-02-T-WT variant currently maintains higher inventory levels (1620 Pcs) compared to FC1-10-02-T (1066 Pcs), which may influence procurement decisions for high-volume applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FC1-10-02-T-WT be used as a direct replacement for FC1-10-02-T?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including pitch, position count, current rating, operating temperature range, contact materials, and termination method. They are interchangeable in applications designed for the FC1-10-02-T.

Q: What determines if a part is a valid substitute for FC1-10-02-T?

A: Valid substitutes must match all critical parameters: 10 positions, 0.039" (1.00mm) pitch, surface mount right-angle mounting, solder termination, 2A per contact current rating, -55°C to 105°C operating temperature, phosphor bronze contacts with tin finish, LCP housing, 0.30mm FFC thickness, straight cable end type, solder retention feature, 25 mating cycles, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating.

Q: Are there any differences in packaging or handling between FC1-10-02-T and FC1-10-02-T-WT?

A: Both parts are supplied in tube packaging. Both carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, indicating no special moisture control requirements during storage or handling.

Q: What is the current rating per contact for this connector?

A: The FC1-10-02-T and its substitute FC1-10-02-T-WT are each rated for 2A per contact, supporting applications requiring moderate current distribution across multiple signal or power lines.

Q: Are these connectors RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both FC1-10-02-T and FC1-10-02-T-WT are ROHS3 compliant, meeting regulatory requirements for lead-free and restricted substance compliance in electronic assemblies.
