FTS-115-02-F-D Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FTS-115-02-F-D is an active rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole board-to-board or cable applications. This 30-position, 2-row connector operates across -55°C to 125°C and features gold-plated mating contacts with tin-plated posts. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling component interchangeability in applications where the primary part is unavailable or inventory constraints exist.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FTS-115-02-F-D is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header, cuttable design with male pin contacts
• Position & Row Configuration: 30 positions arranged in 2 rows
• Pitch Specifications: 0.050" (1.27mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Electrical Performance: 3.4A per contact current rating
• Thermal Range: -55°C to 125°C operating temperature
• Contact Materials & Finishes: Phosphor bronze with gold mating finish and tin post finish
• Insulation & Compliance: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, ROHS3 compliance

The FTSH-115-02-F-D qualifies as a substitute based on matching all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Dimensional variations in overall contact length and insulation height do not affect functional interchangeability in standard through-hole applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the FTS-115-02-F-D and FTSH-115-02-F-D maintain active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these parts is based on PCB design requirements and available board space. The FTS-115-02-F-D features a lower overall contact length (0.199") and minimal insulation height (0.034"), suitable for compact board designs with space constraints. The FTSH-115-02-F-D provides increased overall contact length (0.265") and greater insulation height (0.099"), offering enhanced mechanical stability and clearance in applications with less stringent spatial limitations. Both parts deliver identical electrical performance, thermal range, and contact specifications, ensuring functional equivalence in standard through-hole interconnect applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FTSH-115-02-F-D be used as a direct replacement for FTS-115-02-F-D?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, contact configurations, pitch, row spacing, current rating, and operating temperature range. The primary difference is physical profile: FTSH-115-02-F-D has greater overall contact length and insulation height. Compatibility depends on available PCB clearance and mounting space.

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters match: connector type (header, cuttable), contact type (male pin), position count (30), row configuration (2 rows), mating pitch (0.050"), row spacing (0.050"), mounting type (through hole), termination (solder), current rating (3.4A per contact), operating temperature (-55°C to 125°C), contact materials (phosphor bronze), contact finishes (gold mating, tin post), and insulation material (LCP).

Q: Are there dimensional considerations for PCB layout?

A: Yes. The FTS-115-02-F-D has an overall contact length of 0.199" and insulation height of 0.034". The FTSH-115-02-F-D has an overall contact length of 0.265" and insulation height of 0.099". Verify PCB footprint compatibility and clearance requirements before substitution.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both FTS-115-02-F-D and FTSH-115-02-F-D are ROHS3 compliant, carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and maintain active product status with Samtec Inc.

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

A: The FTS and FTSH series are both cuttable header connectors from Samtec with identical electrical and contact specifications. The FTSH series features increased insulation height and overall contact length, providing different mechanical profiles for varying application requirements.
