FTS-150-01-F-D Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FTS-150-01-F-D is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole board-to-board or cable applications. This 100-position, 2-row connector operates across the industrial temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and is ROHS3 compliant. The part is currently active in production with 887 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when design requirements necessitate alternative mechanical configurations, enhanced insulation heights, or specific manufacturing features while maintaining electrical and mating compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FTS-150-01-F-D is determined by strict equivalence in the following critical parameters:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Number of Positions: 100
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Insulation Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Current Rating: 3.4A per Contact
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The identified substitutes maintain these core electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in overall contact length, insulation height, and manufacturing features (such as pick-and-place capability) do not affect mating compatibility or electrical performance within the specified operating envelope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—FTS-150-01-F-D, FTSH-150-01-F-D-FE, and FTS-150-01-F-D-P—are active products manufactured by Samtec Inc. and maintain ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification.

The FTS-150-01-F-D and FTS-150-01-F-D-P are electrically and mechanically identical, with the latter offering pick-and-place manufacturing capability. Selection between these two depends on assembly process requirements.

The FTSH-150-01-F-D-FE belongs to the FTSH series and features increased overall contact length (0.309" versus 0.244") and insulation height (0.099" versus 0.034"). This variant is suitable for applications requiring extended post length or greater insulation standoff. Mating compatibility with standard FTS series receptacles is maintained through identical pitch and contact geometry.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FTSH-150-01-F-D-FE be used as a direct replacement for FTS-150-01-F-D?

A: Yes, within the constraints of mechanical board layout. Both parts maintain identical mating pitch (0.050"), contact count (100), and row configuration (2 rows). The FTSH variant has a longer overall contact length and greater insulation height, which may require PCB design adjustment for clearance and solder joint formation.

Q: What is the difference between FTS-150-01-F-D and FTS-150-01-F-D-P?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. The FTS-150-01-F-D-P includes pick-and-place features for automated assembly processes. Selection depends on manufacturing capability and assembly method.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. FTS-150-01-F-D, FTSH-150-01-F-D-FE, and FTS-150-01-F-D-P all meet ROHS3 compliance requirements.

Q: What is the current rating per contact?

A: All three parts are rated for 3.4A per contact across the operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Q: Can these connectors be cut to smaller configurations?

A: Yes. All three parts are designated as cuttable headers, allowing field modification to smaller position counts while maintaining electrical integrity of remaining contacts.

Q: What contact finish is used for mating surfaces?

A: All three parts use gold-plated mating contacts (3.00µin thickness) over phosphor bronze base material, with tin-plated solder posts for PCB termination.
