FTMH-104-02-F-DV Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FTMH-104-02-F-DV is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for surface mount board-to-board applications. This 8-position connector operates at 1.00mm pitch and is actively produced. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory constraints, lead time considerations, or specific application requirements while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The BC050-08A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB qualifies as an equivalent substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Both are male pin headers with 8 positions arranged in 2 rows
• Pitch Specification: Both maintain 0.039" (1.00mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Both are surface mount connectors with solder termination and push-pull fastening
• Insulation Material: Both use Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation
• Flammability Compliance: Both meet UL94 V-0 material flammability rating
• RoHS Compliance: Both are ROHS3 compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity: Both are MSL 1 (Unlimited)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both connectors are actively produced and ROHS3 compliant with identical moisture sensitivity ratings. The FTMH-104-02-F-DV supports a higher current rating of 2.8A per contact and operates across a wider temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). The BC050-08A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB is rated for 1A per contact with an operating range of -40°C to 105°C and includes a specified voltage rating of 250VAC/DC.

Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements for current capacity and operating temperature range. Both parts meet the same flammability and compliance standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BC050-08A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB replace FTMH-104-02-F-DV in all applications?

A: Both connectors share identical pitch (1.00mm), position count (8), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (surface mount), and termination method (solder). Substitution is mechanically and electrically compatible for applications within the BC050's current rating (1A per contact) and temperature range (-40°C to 105°C).

Q: What are the key differences between these connectors?

A: The primary differences are current rating (FTMH: 2.8A vs. BC050: 1A per contact), operating temperature range (FTMH: -55°C to 125°C vs. BC050: -40°C to 105°C), contact material (FTMH: Phosphor Bronze vs. BC050: Copper Alloy), and packaging (FTMH: Bulk vs. BC050: Tape & Reel).

Q: Are there packaging differences?

A: Yes. The FTMH-104-02-F-DV is supplied in Bulk packaging, while the BC050-08A-K0-0200-0160-0480-LB is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. This affects handling and assembly processes but does not impact connector functionality.

Q: Do both connectors meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both connectors are ROHS3 compliant, UL94 V-0 rated, and have MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity levels. Both are actively produced.
