FTS-116-02-F-DV Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FTS-116-02-F-DV is a surface mount rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for board-to-board or cable applications. This 32-position, 2-row connector operates across the industrial temperature range of -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 and full RoHS3 compliance with UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary when addressing supply chain constraints, inventory availability, or application-specific requirements while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FTS-116-02-F-DV is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: 32 positions, 2 rows, 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch and row spacing
• Contact Specifications: Male pin type, 0.075" (1.90mm) mating contact length, gold-plated mating surface, phosphor bronze material
• Mounting and Termination: Surface mount with solder termination
• Environmental and Compliance Requirements: Operating temperature range -55°C to 125°C, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, RoHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating
• Electrical Performance: 3.4A per contact current rating

The FTSH-116-02-F-DV qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical alignment across all critical parameters. The primary distinction between these parts is the insulation height specification, which does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility in standard board-to-board applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both FTS-116-02-F-DV and FTSH-116-02-F-DV maintain Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 certification. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific board layout requirements, as the insulation height difference (0.034" versus 0.099") may affect PCB stackup and clearance considerations in space-constrained designs. Both parts carry MSL 1 rating, eliminating moisture sensitivity concerns for standard storage and handling conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FTSH-116-02-F-DV be used as a direct replacement for FTS-116-02-F-DV?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, contact configurations, pitch, row spacing, current rating, and operating temperature range. The insulation height difference does not affect electrical compatibility in standard board-to-board applications.

Q: What is the significance of the insulation height difference between these parts?

A: Insulation height affects the overall profile of the connector assembly. The FTS-116-02-F-DV has an insulation height of 0.034" (0.86mm), while the FTSH-116-02-F-DV measures 0.099" (2.51mm). This difference may impact PCB layout, mating clearances, and vertical spacing in densely populated assemblies.

Q: Are both parts suitable for industrial temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across -55°C to 125°C, meeting industrial temperature requirements. Both maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS3 compliance across this temperature range.

Q: What is the current handling capacity per contact?

A: Both parts are rated at 3.4A per contact, supporting equivalent power distribution in multi-position applications.

Q: Do these parts require special handling or storage considerations?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity limitations. Standard component storage and handling practices apply.

Q: Are these parts available in different packaging options?

A: Both parts are supplied in Tube packaging as specified. Packaging format remains consistent between the two part numbers.
