FTS-130-02-F-DV Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FTS-130-02-F-DV is a surface mount rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., featuring 60 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch. This cuttable header connector is designed for board-to-board or cable applications with solder termination and push-pull fastening. The part is currently active in production with full inventory availability, making it suitable for new designs and production applications requiring reliable interconnection solutions.

Substitute parts are identified to provide design flexibility when the primary part is unavailable or when alternative mechanical configurations better suit specific application requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FTS-130-02-F-DV is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header, cuttable design with male pin contacts
• Electrical Specifications: 60 positions, 2 rows, 0.050" (1.27mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Surface mount with solder termination and push-pull fastening
• Contact Performance: 0.075" (1.90mm) mating contact length, gold-plated mating surface, phosphor bronze material
• Environmental Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating
• Operating Conditions: -55°C to 125°C temperature range, 3.4A per contact current capacity

The FTSH-130-02-F-DV qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary difference is the insulation height specification, which represents a mechanical variation within the same functional family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the FTS-130-02-F-DV and FTSH-130-02-F-DV are active production parts from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical specifications, compliance certifications, and environmental ratings. Selection between these parts should be based on the mechanical requirement for insulation height:

• FTS-130-02-F-DV: 0.034" (0.86mm) insulation height. Select this variant when board-to-board spacing or PCB layout constraints require a lower profile connector.

• FTSH-130-02-F-DV: 0.099" (2.51mm) insulation height. Select this variant when additional insulation height is required for mechanical clearance or when mating with connectors designed for the FTSH series profile.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification. Current availability and lead time should be evaluated based on procurement requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are FTS-130-02-F-DV and FTSH-130-02-F-DV electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts feature identical electrical specifications including 60 positions, 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch, 3.4A per contact current rating, and gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts. The difference is mechanical, not electrical.

Q: What is the significance of the insulation height difference?

A: Insulation height affects the overall profile of the connector assembly on the PCB. The FTS variant at 0.034" (0.86mm) provides a lower profile, while the FTSH variant at 0.099" (2.51mm) provides greater insulation clearance. Selection depends on PCB layout requirements and mating connector specifications.

Q: Can these connectors be used in the same PCB footprint?

A: The contact pitch, row spacing, and solder pad locations are identical. However, the different insulation heights may affect component placement clearance and mating connector alignment. PCB layout review is necessary to confirm mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range and feature UL94 V-0 flammability-rated LCP insulation material, suitable for industrial and automotive applications.

Q: What is the MSL rating and why does it matter?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These connectors can be stored indefinitely without special humidity control and do not require baking before soldering.

Q: Are these parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both FTS-130-02-F-DV and FTSH-130-02-F-DV are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental regulations for electronic components.
