Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the FTM-106-02-L-DV with the BC050-12A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB is based on alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: Both parts are 12-position, 2-row header connectors with 1.00mm pitch mating and row spacing
• Contact Type & Material: Both feature male pin contacts with gold-plated mating surfaces and copper-based conductor materials
• Mounting & Termination: Both are surface mount connectors with solder termination and push-pull fastening
• Insulation Material: Both utilize Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation in black
• Compliance: Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating
• Style: Both are unshrouded, board-to-board connectors

Differences in operating temperature range, current rating, and contact length represent design variations within the rectangular connector category and do not preclude functional substitution when application requirements align with the substitute part specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between the FTM-106-02-L-DV and BC050-12A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB should be based on the following criteria:

FTM-106-02-L-DV is suitable when:

• Operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C is required
• Current per contact requirement exceeds 1A, up to 2.8A
• Tube packaging is preferred for assembly processes

BC050-12A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB is suitable when:

• Operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C meets application requirements
• Current per contact requirement does not exceed 1A
• Tape & Reel packaging is required for automated assembly
• Voltage rating of 250VAC/DC is specified
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating is required

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with standard manufacturing and storage protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BC050-12A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB replace FTM-106-02-L-DV in all applications?

A: Substitution is valid only when the application operating temperature does not exceed 105°C and current per contact does not exceed 1A. The FTM-106-02-L-DV supports higher temperature and current specifications.

Q: What is the impact of the different contact length specifications?

A: The FTM-106-02-L-DV has a mating contact length of 0.075" (1.90mm), while the BC050-12A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB has 0.079" (2.00mm). This 0.004" difference may affect mating force and connector stack height in board-to-board applications. PCB layout and mechanical clearance must be verified.

Q: Are the packaging differences significant?

A: The FTM-106-02-L-DV is supplied in Tube packaging, while the BC050-12A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB is supplied in Tape & Reel format. Tape & Reel is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly, while Tube packaging is suitable for manual or semi-automated processes.

Q: Do both parts have the same pitch and row spacing?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature 0.039" (1.00mm) pitch for mating and 0.039" (1.00mm) row spacing, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility at the interface level.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both the FTM-106-02-L-DV and BC050-12A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB are ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). The BC050 series additionally carries UL94 V-0 flammability rating.
