FTMH-102-02-F-DV Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FTMH-102-02-F-DV is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for surface mount board-to-board applications. This 4-position connector with 1.00mm pitch is an active product with full inventory availability. Alternative parts may be required due to packaging format differences, lead time considerations, or specific application constraints such as operating temperature ranges or current rating requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FTMH-102-02-F-DV is determined by strict alignment with the following core parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pins, 4 positions in 2 rows
• Pitch Specification: 0.039" (1.00mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Surface mount with solder termination
• Style & Fastening: Board-to-board configuration with push-pull fastening
• Material Compliance: Liquid Crystal Polymer insulation, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, ROHS3 compliance

The substitute part BC050-04A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB from GCT meets all core substitution criteria. Differences exist in packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Bulk), contact material composition, and operating temperature range, which must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the FTMH-102-02-F-DV and BC050-04A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB are active products with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification, meeting regulatory requirements for equivalent rectangular connector headers.

Selection between these parts must account for the following parameter differences:

• Operating Temperature Range: The FTMH-102-02-F-DV supports -55°C to 125°C, while the BC050-04A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB operates within -40°C to 105°C. Applications requiring extended low-temperature operation below -40°C or sustained operation above 105°C require the Samtec part.

• Current Rating: The FTMH-102-02-F-DV is rated for 2.8A per contact, compared to 1A per contact for the GCT substitute. High-current applications exceeding 1A per contact require the Samtec part.

• Packaging Format: The FTMH-102-02-F-DV is supplied in Bulk packaging, while the BC050-04A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB is supplied in Tape & Reel format. Packaging selection depends on assembly process requirements and volume considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BC050-04A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB be used as a direct replacement for FTMH-102-02-F-DV?

A: The BC050-04A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB is mechanically and electrically compatible for applications operating within -40°C to 105°C and requiring maximum 1A per contact. Applications exceeding these parameters require the FTMH-102-02-F-DV.

Q: What are the critical substitution parameters for this connector family?

A: Pitch (1.00mm), position count (4), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (surface mount), and fastening mechanism (push-pull) are non-negotiable. Deviations in any of these parameters result in incompatibility.

Q: How do packaging differences affect component selection?

A: Bulk packaging is suitable for manual assembly or low-volume production, while Tape & Reel packaging is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are there voltage rating considerations for this connector?

A: The FTMH-102-02-F-DV does not specify a voltage rating in the provided parameters. The BC050-04A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB is rated for 250VAC/DC. Applications with specific voltage requirements should reference manufacturer datasheets.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 material flammability ratings, meeting standard regulatory requirements for electronic component applications.
