FTS-118-02-F-DV-P-TR

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The FTS-118-02-F-DV-P-TR is a Samtec surface mount rectangular connector header featuring 36 positions arranged in two rows with a 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch. It utilizes gold-plated phosphor bronze male pins housed in black liquid crystal polymer (LCP). The component operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C and carries UL recognition under document E1111594. Designed for board-to-board or cable applications, it supports a rated current of 3.4 A per contact and withstands up to 270 VAC. The unit is supplied in tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Flexible positioning capabilities allowing up to 100 I/O configurations
• Cost-effective gold plating option on terminal contacts
• Available with optional end shrouds and guide posts for alignment

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Cable-to-board connections
• High-density electronic assemblies requiring low profile headers
• Automated surface mount manufacturing processes

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official Samtec catalog to ensure correct termination style and packaging configuration. Confirm that the selected variant matches the required mechanical height and shroud options for your PCB layout. Cross-reference the UL file number E1111594 for compliance requirements. Ensure compatibility with standard SMT reflow profiles given the LCP insulation material properties.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1.27 mm pitch surface mount header is required for high-density applications. Consider the micro low profile form factor if vertical space constraints are critical. Evaluate the need for optional guide posts or end shrouds based on assembly precision requirements. Verify that the 3.4 A current rating and 270 VAC voltage rating meet the circuit specifications.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the FTS series, which offers flexible stacking solutions with .050 inch spacing. The series provides both single and double row configurations with various termination styles including surface mount and through-hole options. The FTS line is designed for applications requiring reliable interconnects with customizable positioning and low profile characteristics.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

FTMH-118-02-F-DV-TR: Features a tighter 1.00 mm pitch instead of 1.27 mm. FTSH-118-01-L-DV-P-TR: Uses a 1.27 mm pitch but differs in contact length and insulation height specifications.
