Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The FTS-109-02-F-DV qualifies as a direct substitute for the FTSH-109-02-F-DV based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Both are header connectors with male pins, cuttable design
• Electrical Specifications: Identical pitch (0.050"/1.27mm), row spacing (0.050"/1.27mm), position count (18), and row count (2)
• Mounting & Termination: Both are surface mount with solder termination
• Current & Temperature Rating: Both rated at 3.4A per contact with -55°C ~ 125°C operating range
• Material & Compliance: Both use phosphor bronze contacts with gold mating finish, LCP insulation, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and ROHS3 compliance
• Fastening Type: Both feature push-pull fastening

The primary difference is the insulation height (FTSH: 0.099"/2.51mm vs. FTS: 0.034"/0.86mm), which represents a mechanical variation within the same connector family. Both parts share the same base product number series (FTSH-109 and FTS-109) and are manufactured by Samtec Inc.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the FTSH-109-02-F-DV and FTS-109-02-F-DV are active production parts from Samtec Inc. with full ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

1. Insulation Height Requirement: The FTSH variant has an insulation height of 0.099" (2.51mm), while the FTS variant is 0.034" (0.86mm). PCB layout and mating connector clearance must accommodate the selected height.

2. Inventory Availability: FTSH-109-02-F-DV has 634 units in stock; FTS-109-02-F-DV has 905 units in stock.

3. Compliance Status: Both parts meet ROHS3 requirements and carry identical regulatory classifications (EAR99, HTSUS 8536.69.4040).

4. Thermal & Electrical Performance: Both parts are rated identically for current (3.4A per contact) and temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), ensuring equivalent performance in thermal and electrical stress conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FTS-109-02-F-DV be used as a direct replacement for FTSH-109-02-F-DV?

A: Yes, provided that the reduced insulation height of the FTS variant (0.034" vs. 0.099") is compatible with your PCB layout and mating connector clearance requirements. All electrical and mechanical specifications are equivalent.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The insulation height differs between the two variants. The FTSH-109-02-F-DV has a taller insulation body (0.099"), while the FTS-109-02-F-DV has a lower profile (0.034"). This affects the overall connector height and board-to-board spacing.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both FTSH-109-02-F-DV and FTS-109-02-F-DV are ROHS3 compliant with identical material flammability ratings (UL94 V-0).

Q: Do these connectors have the same current rating?

A: Yes, both parts are rated at 3.4A per contact with identical operating temperature ranges of -55°C ~ 125°C.

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

A: Both parts have a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1, indicating unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements.

Q: Are the contact materials and finishes identical?

A: Yes, both parts use phosphor bronze contacts with gold mating finish (3.00µin thickness) and tin post finish.

Q: Can these connectors be cut to reduce the number of positions?

A: Yes, both parts are specified as cuttable headers, allowing position reduction for custom applications.
