Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FTM-103-03-G-DV is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector series (FTM)
• Number of positions (6) and row configuration (2 rows)
• Pitch spacing (0.039" / 1.00mm mating pitch and row spacing)
• Mounting type (Surface Mount)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Current rating (2.8A per Contact)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• RoHS compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant)
• Product status (Active)

The FTM-103-03-F-DV qualifies as a substitute part because it maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in contact finish specifications (Gold vs. Gold with Tin post finish) do not affect functional compatibility within the allowed parameter set for this connector category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the FTM-103-03-G-DV and FTM-103-03-F-DV are active products with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. Selection between these parts is based on availability and inventory status. The FTM-103-03-F-DV currently has higher inventory availability (1314 units) compared to the FTM-103-03-G-DV (856 units). Both parts meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications for board-to-board surface mount applications within the specified operating temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FTM-103-03-F-DV be used as a direct replacement for FTM-103-03-G-DV?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical pitch spacing (1.00mm), position count (6 positions, 2 rows), mounting type (surface mount), current rating (2.8A per contact), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). Both are ROHS3 compliant and active products.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is in contact finish specifications. The FTM-103-03-G-DV features gold mating contact finish, while the FTM-103-03-F-DV specifies gold mating contact finish with tin post finish. Both maintain equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are there any package or footprint differences?

A: No. Both parts are surface mount connectors with identical physical dimensions, insulation height (0.038"), contact length (0.065"), and board-to-board spacing. PCB footprints are interchangeable.

Q: Do both parts have the same moisture sensitivity rating?

A: Yes. Both the FTM-103-03-G-DV and FTM-103-03-F-DV carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection is based on availability and supply chain requirements. Both parts are active and fully qualified for equivalent applications. Inventory availability should be the primary consideration for procurement decisions.
