What are the key features of TFC-102-02-FM-D?
- Tiger Eye dual-beam contact design delivers wipe-action mating for low insertion force and self-cleaning contact engagement at 0.050 inch pitch
- 4-position dual-row (8 contacts total) compact layout at 1.27 mm pitch minimizes PCB footprint for space-constrained board-to-board interfaces
- Male contact gender enables direct mating with standard 0.050 inch pitch female headers and flat cable connectors used across a wide range of embedded computing platforms
What is TFC-102-02-FM-D used for?
The TFC-102-02-FM-D is deployed in compact embedded systems, prototype development boards, and test fixture interfaces requiring a small 8-contact board connector at 0.050 inch pitch. Its Tiger Eye contact technology supports reliable mating in applications where connectors are engaged and disengaged frequently, such as programming jigs and ICT test points. Engineers use it for low-pin-count signal headers connecting configuration switches, status LEDs, or diagnostic ports in industrial controllers and communication modules.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many total contacts does the dual-row 4-position TFC-102-02-FM-D provide?
The TFC-102-02-FM-D is a 4-position, 2-row (dual-row) connector, giving 8 total male contacts at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch. This 8-contact arrangement is sufficient for small signal interfaces such as SPI, I2C, or UART plus power and ground, all within a connector body measuring approximately 5 mm wide — ideal for compact prototype and production boards.
What makes Tiger Eye contacts better suited for repeated mating cycles than standard stamped-pin headers?
Tiger Eye contacts employ a dual-beam wipe design that produces a fresh contact surface with each insertion, maintaining contact resistance typically below 20 milliohms after 500 or more mating cycles. Standard single-beam stamped contacts at 0.050 inch pitch can develop fretting corrosion after 50 to 100 cycles, making Tiger Eye the preferred choice for test jigs, programming adapters, and field-replaceable modules in industrial equipment.
When is the TFC-102-02-FM-D preferred over a 2.54 mm pitch 8-position header for the same signal count?
At 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch, the 8-contact TFC-102-02-FM-D occupies roughly 5 mm of PCB width versus about 20 mm for an equivalent 8-position 2.54 mm pitch single-row header. Designers choose the TFC-102 when board area is constrained to under 10 mm x 10 mm around the connector site, such as on module formats like SO-DIMM derivatives or miniature wireless modules operating in the 2.4 GHz band where board space directly impacts antenna placement.
