FTSH-103-02-L-DH-C Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FTSH-103-02-L-DH-C is a surface mount rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for board-to-board or cable applications. This right-angle header features 6 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch spacing and is classified as an active product. The connector utilizes solder termination with push-pull fastening and operates across the industrial temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to ensure design flexibility, manage supply chain continuity, and accommodate packaging or inventory preferences while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FTSH-103-02-L-DH-C is determined by strict adherence to the following critical parameters:

• Connector Series: Must be FTSH series
• Number of Positions: Must be 6 positions
• Number of Rows: Must be 2 rows
• Pitch - Mating: Must be 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Row Spacing - Mating: Must be 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Contact Type: Must be Male Pin
• Mounting Type: Must be Surface Mount, Right Angle
• Termination: Must be Solder
• Fastening Type: Must be Push-Pull
• Contact Material: Must be Phosphor Bronze
• Insulation Material: Must be Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Operating Temperature Range: Must be -55°C ~ 125°C
• Current Rating: Must be 3.4A per Contact

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FTSH-103-01-L-DH is a direct functional equivalent to the FTSH-103-02-L-DH-C. Both parts are manufactured by Samtec Inc., maintain active product status, and comply with ROHS3 and UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format: the main part is supplied in Tube packaging, while the substitute is supplied in Bulk packaging. Additionally, the contact length at mating differs between the two parts (0.075" versus 0.120"), which may affect board-level clearance and mechanical fit in specific applications.

Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements, inventory management needs, and mechanical clearance constraints within the target application. Both parts satisfy identical electrical performance criteria and environmental compliance standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FTSH-103-01-L-DH be used as a direct replacement for FTSH-103-02-L-DH-C?

A: Yes, from an electrical and functional standpoint. Both parts share identical connector type, pitch, row configuration, contact material, termination method, and operating specifications. The primary consideration is the difference in contact length at mating (0.075" versus 0.120"), which may require evaluation for mechanical fit within your specific PCB design.

Q: What is the difference between Tube and Bulk packaging?

A: Tube packaging is used for smaller quantity shipments and provides individual component protection during handling and storage. Bulk packaging is used for larger quantities and offers cost efficiency for high-volume production. The connector itself is identical; only the packaging format differs.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both FTSH-103-02-L-DH-C and FTSH-103-01-L-DH are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing.

Q: Does the contact length difference affect electrical performance?

A: No. The difference in contact length at mating (0.075" versus 0.120") does not affect electrical performance, current rating, or voltage characteristics. This difference is a mechanical specification that may impact physical clearance and board layout considerations.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these parts?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling. Standard storage conditions are acceptable without special desiccant or humidity control requirements.
