FTM-104-02-F-DV Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FTM-104-02-F-DV is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for surface mount board-to-board applications. This 8-position, 1.00mm pitch connector features male pins with gold-plated mating contacts and is actively produced. Equivalent parts may be required due to supply chain considerations, packaging preferences, or specific application requirements while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the FTM-104-02-F-DV is based on the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.039" (1.00mm)
• Number of Positions: 8
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.039" (1.00mm)
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Termination: Solder
• Insulation Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Style: Board to Board
• Shrouding: Unshrouded

The BC050-08A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB from GCT meets these core electrical and mechanical requirements, enabling direct functional substitution in applications requiring 8-position, 1.00mm pitch surface mount headers.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the FTM-104-02-F-DV and BC050-08A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB are active products with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Packaging format: FTM-104-02-F-DV is supplied in Bulk; BC050-08A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR)
• Current rating: FTM-104-02-F-DV supports 2.8A per contact; BC050-08A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB supports 1A per contact
• Operating temperature range: FTM-104-02-F-DV operates -55°C to 125°C; BC050-08A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB operates -40°C to 105°C
• Voltage rating: BC050-08A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB is rated 250VAC/DC
• Contact length - mating: FTM-104-02-F-DV is 0.075" (1.90mm); BC050-08A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB is 0.079" (2.00mm)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BC050-08A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB directly replace FTM-104-02-F-DV in all applications?

A: Both connectors share identical pitch (1.00mm), position count (8), row configuration (2 rows), and mounting type (surface mount). Direct mechanical and electrical compatibility is established for board-to-board applications. However, verify application-specific requirements for current rating, operating temperature range, and contact length before substitution.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are packaging format (Bulk vs. Tape & Reel), current rating per contact (2.8A vs. 1A), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C vs. -40°C to 105°C), and mating contact length (1.90mm vs. 2.00mm). Both parts maintain identical pitch, position count, and insulation material specifications.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: The FTM-104-02-F-DV supports operation to 125°C, while the BC050-08A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB supports operation to 105°C. Application requirements below 105°C are compatible with both parts; applications requiring operation above 105°C require the FTM-104-02-F-DV.

Q: Which part should be selected for high-current applications?

A: The FTM-104-02-F-DV supports 2.8A per contact, compared to 1A per contact for the BC050-08A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB. Applications requiring current above 1A per contact require the FTM-104-02-F-DV.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory compliance standards?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes. Both carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings.
