Gold (10 µin) over nickel (50 µin) mating contact finish for reliable low-resistance electrical connections
Micro low-profile height minimizing stacked board clearance in compact module designs
Phosphor bronze contact material providing excellent spring compliance and long mating cycle life
Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enabling high-volume automated SMT pick-and-place assembly

What is FTS-102-03-L-DV-TR used for?

The FTS-102-03-L-DV-TR is used in compact PCB stacking and board-to-board signal routing for consumer electronics, wearables, and IoT modules where minimizing connector height is critical. The double-row SMT configuration allows 4 signal paths in a minimal PCB footprint, ideal for USB interface boards, sensor modules, and development kits requiring reliable mated connections. Tape-and-reel packaging supports high-throughput SMT assembly lines in production environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What contact finish does FTS-102-03-L-DV-TR use and how many mating cycles does it support reliably?

The FTS-102-03-L-DV-TR uses 10 microinches of gold over 50 microinches of nickel on the mating contacts, which is a standard finish for connectors rated to at least 100 mating cycles. The gold surface maintains low contact resistance (typically below 20 mΩ) even after repeated insertions, while the nickel barrier protects the phosphor-bronze base from diffusion and corrosion.

How does FTS-102-03-L-DV-TR's low-profile SMT design benefit compact module stacking compared to through-hole alternatives?

The micro low-profile SMT design of FTS-102-03-L-DV-TR reduces the total stacked board height compared to through-hole headers, which protrude several millimeters beyond the PCB surface. In applications like sensor modules, wireless MCU boards, and wearable devices where total stack height may be limited to under 5 mm, the SMT low-profile header provides the needed board-to-board connectivity within tighter mechanical envelopes.

When should a designer choose FTS-102-03-L-DV-TR over a single-row 2-position SMT header for a 4-signal interface?

The FTS-102-03-L-DV-TR double-row 2×2 layout places 4 signals in roughly half the linear PCB length of a single-row 1×4 header on the same pitch. If PCB edge space is limited or the interface requires differential signal pairing (2 pairs side by side), the double-row arrangement reduces crosstalk by keeping signal pairs physically adjacent across 4 positions while maintaining a smaller SMT footprint.
