FTS-118-02-L-DV-TR

Headers, Male Pins Overview

FTS-118-02-L-DV-TR is a board-to-board connector header manufactured by Samtec. It features a 1.27 mm (0.050 in) centerline pitch with 36 total contacts arranged in a double-row configuration. The component utilizes surface mount termination and includes an alignment pin option. Contact plating consists of 10 µin gold in the contact area and matte tin on the tail, based on the 'L' suffix specification.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Micro low profile design for space-constrained applications
• Surface mount termination with optional alignment pins
• Selective gold plating options for contact reliability

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• High-density electronic assemblies
• Telecommunications equipment

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific plating code 'L' corresponds to 10µin gold contact and matte tin tail requirements. Confirm the '-TR' suffix indicates tape and reel packaging availability. Ensure the part number matches the required 36-position count and double-row layout for PCB footprint compatibility.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring a 1.27mm pitch surface mount header. The 'L' plating option provides standard conductivity. Consider the '-A' or '-SA' suffixes if integrated alignment pins are necessary for precise mating. Verify insulation height and contact length specifications against mating connector constraints.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

The FTS series represents Samtec's micro low profile header strips. These components are designed for high-density interconnects with a .050 inch pitch. The series offers various termination styles and plating options to suit different manufacturing and environmental needs.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Consult official Samtec documentation for direct cross-reference parts. Generic substitutes may not match the specific 1.27mm pitch or low-profile dimensions.
