Key Features
- 6 positions in a dual-row 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch layout for minimal footprint low-density interconnects
- Male (plug) contact gender with Tiger Eye design for reliable, low-insertion-force mating in board-to-board applications
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging optimized for automated SMT pick-and-place assembly in high-volume production
Applications
The TFC-103-02-F-D-A-K-TR is suited for low-pin-count board-to-board signal connections in small embedded modules, IoT sensor nodes, and compact consumer electronics that require only 6 signal lines on a 0.050" pitch. Its tape-and-reel packaging makes it a practical choice for high-volume automated assembly lines where consistent connector placement across thousands of units is essential.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many signal positions does the TFC-103-02-F-D-A-K-TR offer and in what row configuration?
The TFC-103-02-F-D-A-K-TR provides 6 total positions arranged in 2 rows on a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. This small dual-row layout is ideal for low-pin-count interconnects where only a handful of digital, power, or control signals need to be passed between boards in a compact PCB footprint.
What does the tape-and-reel designation mean for high-volume manufacturing of the TFC-103-02-F-D-A-K-TR?
The TR suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging compatible with standard SMT pick-and-place equipment, allowing automated assembly at throughputs exceeding thousands of units per hour. This eliminates manual placement variability on the 0.050" pitch footprint, ensuring each of the 6 contacts is correctly positioned during soldering for consistent joint quality.
In what compact electronics designs is the TFC-103-02-F-D-A-K-TR most commonly used?
This 6-position, 0.050" pitch connector is typically used in IoT sensor nodes, wearable electronics, small industrial sensors, and compact evaluation boards where board space is very limited and only 6 signal lines are needed. Its low profile and minimal footprint make it suitable for ultra-compact module-to-baseboard and board-to-board stacking designs.
How does a 6-position Tiger Eye strip compare to using a standard 0.1" pitch connector for the same signal count?
Compared to a standard 0.1" (2.54 mm) pitch connector carrying 6 signals, the TFC-103-02-F-D-A-K-TR occupies roughly one-quarter the board area on a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, enabling significantly denser PCB layouts. The Tiger Eye contact design also offers lower insertion force than many standard 0.1" connectors, reducing mechanical stress when mating 6-position assemblies in confined spaces.
