FTM-110-02-F-DV Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FTM-110-02-F-DV is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for surface mount applications. This 20-position, 1.00mm pitch connector operates across a wide temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and is classified as an active product with ROHS3 compliance. Alternative components may be required due to inventory constraints, application-specific performance requirements, or supply chain considerations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FTM-110-02-F-DV is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Pitch and Position Count: Mating pitch of 0.039" (1.00mm) and 20 total positions across 2 rows with matching row spacing
• Mounting and Termination: Surface mount configuration with solder termination
• Connector Style: Board to board, unshrouded header with male pin contacts
• Contact Material and Finish: Gold-plated mating surface on phosphor bronze or copper alloy base material
• Insulation Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) construction
• Environmental Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating

The substitute part BC050-20A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB from GCT meets these core substitution criteria. Variations in operating temperature range, current rating per contact, and contact finish thickness represent design trade-offs within the rectangular connector category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the FTM-110-02-F-DV and BC050-20A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB are active products with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 ratings, confirming their suitability for production applications.

The FTM-110-02-F-DV offers a wider operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and higher current capacity (2.8A per contact), making it suitable for extended temperature environments and higher-current applications.

The BC050-20A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB operates within a narrower temperature range (-40°C to 105°C) with a lower current rating (1A per contact) but includes a specified voltage rating of 250VAC/DC. This part is available in Tape & Reel packaging, which may be preferred for high-volume manufacturing workflows.

Selection between these parts should be based on specific application requirements regarding temperature extremes, current demands, and packaging preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BC050-20A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB be used as a direct replacement for FTM-110-02-F-DV?

A: Both connectors share identical pitch (1.00mm), position count (20), row configuration (2 rows), and mounting type (surface mount). However, the BC050 has a lower current rating (1A vs. 2.8A per contact) and narrower operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C vs. -55°C to 125°C). Substitution is valid only if application requirements fall within the BC050 specifications.

Q: What are the key differences in contact specifications?

A: The FTM-110-02-F-DV uses phosphor bronze contacts with 3.00µin gold plating and 0.075" mating length. The BC050-20A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB uses copper alloy contacts with flash gold plating and 0.079" mating length. Both have gold-plated mating surfaces and LCP insulation.

Q: How do packaging formats differ?

A: The FTM-110-02-F-DV is supplied in Tube packaging, while the BC050-20A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Tape & Reel packaging is typically used for automated assembly processes, while Tube packaging is common for manual or lower-volume applications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both the FTM-110-02-F-DV and BC050-20A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish thickness difference?

A: The FTM-110-02-F-DV specifies 3.00µin (0.076µm) gold plating thickness, while the BC050-20A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB uses flash plating. Specified thickness provides defined wear characteristics and contact reliability over the product lifetime. Flash plating is a minimal coating applied for corrosion protection.
