Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FTMH-103-02-F-DV is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pins
• Position Count & Row Configuration: 6 positions arranged in 2 rows
• Pitch Specification: 0.039" (1.00mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Mounting Technology: Surface mount solder termination
• Fastening Mechanism: Push-pull engagement
• Insulation Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Compliance Standards: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and ROHS3 compliance

The substitute part BC050-06A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB from GCT meets these core electrical and mechanical requirements, enabling direct functional equivalence in board-to-board connector applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the FTMH-103-02-F-DV and BC050-06A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Supply Availability: The BC050-06A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB currently has higher inventory (1941 units) compared to the FTMH-103-02-F-DV (794 units).
• Packaging Format: The FTMH-103-02-F-DV is supplied in bulk packaging, while the BC050-06A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB is supplied in tape and reel format, which may affect procurement and assembly processes.
• Operating Temperature Range: The FTMH-103-02-F-DV supports -55°C to 125°C, while the BC050-06A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB supports -40°C to 105°C. Applications requiring extended low-temperature operation below -40°C require the Samtec part.
• Current Rating: The FTMH-103-02-F-DV is rated at 2.8A per contact, while the BC050-06A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB is rated at 1A per contact. High-current applications require the Samtec part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BC050-06A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB be used as a direct replacement for FTMH-103-02-F-DV?

A: The BC050-06A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB meets the core electrical and mechanical specifications for board-to-board connectivity. However, applications requiring current levels above 1A per contact or operating temperatures below -40°C must use the FTMH-103-02-F-DV.

Q: What are the packaging differences between these parts?

A: The FTMH-103-02-F-DV is supplied in bulk packaging, while the BC050-06A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB is supplied in tape and reel format. Tape and reel packaging is optimized for automated assembly processes, while bulk packaging is suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume applications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both the FTMH-103-02-F-DV and BC050-06A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both parts have a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1, indicating unlimited shelf life without special moisture control requirements.

Q: How do the contact finishes compare?

A: Both parts feature gold-plated mating contacts. The FTMH-103-02-F-DV has a contact finish thickness of 3.00µin (0.076µm) on mating surfaces with tin plating on posts. The BC050-06A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB has flash gold plating on both mating and post surfaces.
