FTS-130-04-L-DV Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FTS-130-04-L-DV is a surface mount rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for board-to-board or cable applications. This 60-position, dual-row connector operates across -55°C to 125°C and features 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch mating contacts with gold-plated male pins. The part is currently active in production with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Substitute parts are identified to provide design flexibility, inventory alternatives, or when the primary part becomes unavailable.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The FTSH-130-04-L-DV qualifies as a direct substitute for the FTS-130-04-L-DV based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Both are header connectors with cuttable design, male pin contacts, and identical 60-position, dual-row arrangement
• Pitch & Spacing: Mating pitch of 0.050" (1.27mm) and row spacing of 0.050" (1.27mm) are identical
• Electrical Performance: Current rating of 3.4A per contact and contact finish (gold-plated) are equivalent
• Environmental Compliance: Both maintain -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating
• Mounting & Termination: Surface mount solder termination with push-pull fastening type are consistent

The primary difference is the insulation height: FTS-130-04-L-DV has 0.034" (0.86mm) while FTSH-130-04-L-DV has 0.099" (2.51mm). This difference does not affect electrical substitution but may impact mechanical fit in space-constrained applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the FTS-130-04-L-DV and FTSH-130-04-L-DV are active production parts from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and thermal specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on mechanical fit requirements:

• FTS-130-04-L-DV (0.034" insulation height): Select for applications with strict height constraints or compact PCB layouts where minimal connector profile is required.
• FTSH-130-04-L-DV (0.099" insulation height): Select for applications where increased insulation height provides additional mechanical stability or when board-to-board spacing accommodates the taller profile.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity, ensuring equivalent environmental and regulatory performance. Current inventory levels support both options for immediate procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FTSH-130-04-L-DV be used as a direct replacement for FTS-130-04-L-DV?

A: Yes, from an electrical and thermal standpoint. Both connectors share identical pitch (0.050"), contact configuration (60-position, dual-row), current rating (3.4A per contact), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and compliance certifications. The insulation height difference (0.034" vs. 0.099") must be evaluated for mechanical fit in your specific application.

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

A: Insulation height affects the overall connector profile and mechanical clearance on the PCB. The FTS-130-04-L-DV with 0.034" height is lower-profile, while the FTSH-130-04-L-DV with 0.099" height provides greater insulation material thickness. This difference does not impact electrical performance but may affect board layout and component spacing.

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

A: Yes. Both the FTS-130-04-L-DV and FTSH-130-04-L-DV operate across -55°C to 125°C, making them suitable for industrial and automotive applications within this temperature range.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS and flammability requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating, meeting regulatory requirements for consumer electronics and industrial applications.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling. Standard PCB assembly processes are applicable without special precautions.
