Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FTM-106-02-F-DV is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.039" (1.00mm) — must match exactly for PCB footprint compatibility
• Number of Positions: 12 — electrical interface requirement
• Number of Rows: 2 — mechanical and electrical layout requirement
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount — assembly process compatibility
• Contact Type: Male Pin — mating interface specification
• Insulation Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) — thermal and mechanical performance
• Termination: Solder — assembly method compatibility
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold — electrical contact reliability

The BC050-12A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB from GCT meets these core substitution criteria, sharing identical pitch, position count, row configuration, mounting type, contact type, insulation material, termination method, and mating contact finish.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the FTM-106-02-F-DV and BC050-12A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB are active products with ROHS3 compliance. Selection between these parts depends on application-specific requirements:

The FTM-106-02-F-DV supports an extended operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and provides a higher current rating of 2.8A per contact, making it suitable for applications requiring broader thermal performance or higher current delivery per pin.

The BC050-12A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB operates within -40°C to 105°C and carries a 1A per contact rating. This part is appropriate for applications within this temperature and current envelope and is available in Tape & Reel packaging, which may offer supply chain advantages.

Both parts share identical pitch, position count, row spacing, mounting type, and contact finish specifications, ensuring PCB footprint and mating interface compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BC050-12A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB be used as a direct replacement for FTM-106-02-F-DV?

A: Yes, for applications operating within -40°C to 105°C and requiring maximum 1A per contact. Both parts share identical pitch (1.00mm), position count (12), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (surface mount), and mating contact finish (gold). PCB footprints are compatible.
