FTS-115-01-LM-D Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FTS-115-01-LM-D is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole board-to-board or cable applications. This 30-position, 2-row connector operates at 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch with gold-plated mating contacts and tin-plated posts. The part is active in production and ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for industrial and commercial electronic assemblies. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with application requirements, enabling component sourcing flexibility and supply chain continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the FTS-115-01-LM-D are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Electrical Parameters:

• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (30)
• Number of rows (2)
• Mating pitch (0.050" / 1.27mm)
• Row spacing (0.050" / 1.27mm)
• Current rating (3.4A per contact)
• Contact material (Phosphor Bronze)
• Contact finish - mating (Gold, 10.0µin)
• Contact finish - post (Tin)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Connector type (Header, Cuttable)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Material flammability (UL94 V-0)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 compliance
• Active product status

Substitute parts may differ in overall contact length, insulation height, series designation, or specific features (such as Pick and Place capability) while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility within the specified parameter set.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four parts maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment for current manufacturing environments.

FTS-115-01-L-D-P is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the FTS-115-01-LM-D with identical contact lengths and insulation height. This part includes Pick and Place feature capability, which may provide manufacturing process advantages in automated assembly environments.

FTSH-115-01-L-D and FTSH-115-01-LM-D are functionally equivalent alternatives from the FTSH series. These parts feature increased overall contact length (0.309" vs. 0.244") and insulation height (0.099" vs. 0.034"), resulting in extended mating depth. The FTSH-115-01-LM-D maintains the same feature set as the primary part. Selection between FTS and FTSH series depends on PCB stack-up requirements and mating depth specifications.

All substitute parts maintain identical electrical parameters: 30 positions, 2 rows, 0.050" pitch, 3.4A per contact rating, gold-plated mating contacts, and phosphor bronze contact material.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FTS-115-01-L-D-P be used as a direct replacement for FTS-115-01-LM-D?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications including contact length, insulation height, pitch, and current rating. The FTS-115-01-L-D-P includes Pick and Place feature capability, which does not affect electrical compatibility.

Q: What is the primary difference between FTS and FTSH series connectors?

A: The FTS series has an overall contact length of 0.244" (6.20mm) and insulation height of 0.034" (0.86mm). The FTSH series has an overall contact length of 0.309" (7.86mm) and insulation height of 0.099" (2.51mm). Selection depends on PCB stack-up and mating depth requirements. All other electrical parameters remain identical.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All four parts listed are ROHS3 compliant and maintain active product status.

Q: What is the current rating per contact?

A: All parts are rated for 3.4A per contact with phosphor bronze contact material and gold-plated mating surfaces.

Q: Can these connectors be used in the -55°C to 125°C temperature range?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain the same operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Q: What is the mating pitch for all these connectors?

A: All parts operate at 0.050" (1.27mm) mating pitch with 0.050" (1.27mm) row spacing, supporting 30-position, 2-row configurations.
