Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the TFC-102-02-FM-D-A have, and what is its contact pitch?
The TFC-102-02-FM-D-A has 4 positions arranged in a dual-row (D) configuration at a 1.27 mm (0.050") pitch. With 2 contacts per row, it provides a compact footprint for routing 4 signals or power connections in space-constrained PCB layouts.
What assembly method does the TFC-102-02-FM-D-A use, and how does it simplify PCB manufacturing?
The TFC-102-02-FM-D-A uses flat-mount (FM) surface mount termination, allowing it to be placed and soldered using standard SMT reflow equipment. This eliminates the need for through-hole drilling, streamlines PCB manufacturing, and reduces assembly cost in high-volume production runs.
In which low-cost embedded applications is the TFC-102-02-FM-D-A a preferred terminal strip choice?
This Tiger Eye terminal strip is commonly selected for consumer electronics, IoT sensor nodes, and compact embedded modules where cost per connection and board space at 1.27 mm pitch are key constraints. Its 4-position dual-row design supports I2C, SPI, UART, or power connections with reliable contact retention across typical operating temperatures of -55°C to +125°C.
