FTS-104-01-L-DV-P Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FTS-104-01-L-DV-P is a surface mount rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for board-to-board or cable applications. This 8-position connector operates across -55°C to 125°C and features a 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch with gold-plated mating contacts rated at 3.4A per contact. The part maintains active product status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are identified when mounting type, pitch, position count, contact configuration, and electrical ratings remain equivalent, allowing direct functional replacement in circuit designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FTS-104-01-L-DV-P is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Number of Positions: 8
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Current Rating: 3.4A per Contact
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Insulation Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze

The FTS-104-03-L-D qualifies as a substitute part because it maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary difference is mounting type: the substitute uses through-hole termination instead of surface mount, which represents a valid alternative for applications where board layout permits vertical mounting orientation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the FTS-104-01-L-DV-P and FTS-104-03-L-D maintain active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical performance specifications. Selection between these parts depends on board assembly methodology and available PCB real estate.

The FTS-104-01-L-DV-P surface mount variant is appropriate for high-density surface mount assembly processes and applications requiring minimal board thickness. The FTS-104-03-L-D through-hole variant accommodates manual assembly workflows and applications where vertical connector orientation is preferred or required by mechanical constraints.

Both parts carry unlimited moisture sensitivity (MSL 1), eliminating special handling requirements during storage and assembly. The identical current rating of 3.4A per contact and operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C ensure equivalent electrical performance in all specified operating conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FTS-104-03-L-D replace FTS-104-01-L-DV-P in a surface mount assembly?

A: No. The FTS-104-03-L-D is a through-hole component and cannot be used in surface mount PCB layouts designed for the FTS-104-01-L-DV-P. Board redesign would be required to accommodate the vertical mounting orientation and post length of the through-hole variant.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both parts carry identical current ratings of 3.4A per contact, operate across -55°C to 125°C, use phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating, and maintain the same pitch and position configuration.

Q: What is the primary difference between these connector variants?

A: The primary difference is mounting type. The FTS-104-01-L-DV-P uses surface mount termination for SMD assembly, while the FTS-104-03-L-D uses through-hole termination for vertical board mounting. Contact length specifications also differ to accommodate each mounting method.

Q: Do both parts require special moisture handling?

A: No. Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage, handling, or assembly.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the FTS-104-01-L-DV-P and FTS-104-03-L-D are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.
