Product details

The Samtec FFSD-08-01-N is a 16-position IDC receptacle from the Tiger Eye™ FFSD series, designed for mass-termination to 30 AWG ribbon cable. Watch pin-one every press: the key aligns with the ribbon's marked conductor, so there's no second-guessing the orientation once the IDC is set.

Termination and Wire Gauge

This receptacle terminates via IDC — insulation displacement contacts that pierce the ribbon cable insulation in one press operation. The specified wire gauge is 30 AWG.

The closest functional sibling is the FFSD-06-01-N, which is identical in every respect — same 0.050" pitch, same dual-row IDC termination, same gold plating, same black housing with polarizing key — except it carries 12 positions instead of 16. If your BOM calls for 16 conductors, the FFSD-08-01-N is the one; if you only need 12, the FFSD-06-01-N saves a few cents and a bit of board space.

The ROHS3 status meets the latest EU restriction levels for hazardous substances.

Frequently asked questions

Is FFSD-08-01-N RoHS compliant?

Yes, the FFSD-08-01-N is ROHS3 compliant, meeting the latest EU directive for restriction of hazardous substances.

What is the difference between FFSD-08-01-N and FFSD-08-01-S?

The difference is in the plating option indicated by the suffix. The 'N' suffix on FFSD-08-01-N specifies gold contact finish at 10.0µin thickness. The 'S' suffix typically indicates a different plating option (often tin or selective gold) — consult the Samtec FFSD series datasheet for the exact plating specification of the -S variant. Both share the same 16-position, 0.050" pitch IDC receptacle body.
