FTSH-117-01-F-D-K Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FTSH-117-01-F-D-K is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole board-to-board or cable applications. This 34-position, dual-row connector operates at 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch and features shrouded design with push-pull fastening. The part is Active status and ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for industrial and commercial applications requiring reliable interconnection in temperature ranges from -55°C to 125°C.

Alternative equivalent parts may be required due to inventory availability, packaging format preferences, or specific application constraints such as operating temperature ranges or current rating requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FTSH-117-01-F-D-K is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Position and Row Configuration: 34 positions in 2 rows at 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch and row spacing
• Mounting and Termination: Through-hole solder termination
• Fastening Mechanism: Push-pull fastening type
• Shrouding Design: Shrouded connector with keying features
• Contact Configuration: Male pin, square contact shape
• Insulation Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliant, UL94 V-0 flammability rating

The substitute part BD120-34-A-0305-0229-L-B meets these core substitution criteria. Variations in operating temperature range, current rating per contact, contact finish specifications, and packaging format represent secondary differences that do not prevent functional equivalence in applications where the substitute part's specifications are acceptable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the FTSH-117-01-F-D-K and BD120-34-A-0305-0229-L-B are Active status products with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these parts should be based on the following provided specifications:

Operating Temperature Requirements: The FTSH-117-01-F-D-K operates across -55°C to 125°C, while the BD120-34-A-0305-0229-L-B operates across -40°C to 105°C. Applications requiring operation below -40°C or above 105°C necessitate the FTSH-117-01-F-D-K.

Current Rating per Contact: The FTSH-117-01-F-D-K is rated for 3.4A per contact, while the BD120-34-A-0305-0229-L-B is rated for 1A per contact. Applications requiring current delivery exceeding 1A per contact require the FTSH-117-01-F-D-K.

Packaging Format: The FTSH-117-01-F-D-K is supplied in Tube packaging, while the BD120-34-A-0305-0229-L-B is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. Packaging selection depends on assembly process requirements and inventory management practices.

Contact Material: The FTSH-117-01-F-D-K uses Phosphor Bronze contacts, while the BD120-34-A-0305-0229-L-B uses Brass contacts. Both materials are suitable for the specified applications with gold mating surface finish.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BD120-34-A-0305-0229-L-B replace FTSH-117-01-F-D-K in all applications?

A: No. The BD120-34-A-0305-0229-L-B has a reduced operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C versus -55°C to 125°C) and lower current rating (1A per contact versus 3.4A per contact). Substitution is valid only when application requirements fall within these reduced specifications.

Q: What are the critical matching parameters for this connector family?

A: The critical parameters are: 34 positions in 2 rows, 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch and row spacing, through-hole solder termination, push-pull fastening, shrouded design with male pin contacts, square contact shape, and LCP insulation material.

Q: Does packaging format affect connector performance?

A: No. Tube and Cut Tape (CT) packaging formats do not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Packaging selection is based on assembly process compatibility and supply chain requirements.

Q: Are there mechanical compatibility concerns between these parts?

A: Both parts share identical contact dimensions (0.120" mating length, 0.090" post length, 0.309" overall length) and insulation height specifications (0.099" and 0.098" respectively), ensuring mechanical compatibility in standard board-to-board applications.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

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