Key Features
- 6-position dual-row connector at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch for compact, low-pin-count flex-cable to PCB signal interconnect in space-constrained designs
- FM (flex-cable mating) termination enables direct connection to flexible ribbon cables, ideal for bridging separated boards in wearable, medical, or portable electronic devices
- Keying feature (K suffix) mechanically prevents incorrect insertion of the 6-pin dual-row flex interface, reducing assembly errors in miniaturized PCB assemblies
Applications
The SAMTEC TFC-103-02-FM-D-A-K is suited for compact portable electronics, medical wearable devices, and miniaturized instrumentation where a 6-pin dual-row 0.050 inch pitch flex-cable connector provides a low-pin-count reliable signal interface. Its keying option makes it appropriate for automated assembly environments where mis-mating of the 6-pin interface must be prevented.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 6-position TFC-103-02-FM-D-A-K compare to higher-count Tiger Eye connectors for low-signal-count applications?
The TFC-103-02-FM-D-A-K provides exactly 6 pins in a dual-row 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch format, which is significantly more compact than 20- or 34-position Tiger Eye connectors while maintaining the same reliable Tiger Eye contact system and keying protection, making it preferable for designs with 6 or fewer signals such as SPI or I2C buses plus power lines.
What flex cable specifications are compatible with the TFC-103-02-FM-D-A-K FM interface?
The FM (flex-cable mating) interface on the TFC-103-02-FM-D-A-K is designed to accept flat flexible cables (FFC) or flex-circuit (FPC) assemblies at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch with 6 conductors, providing a low-profile, low-insertion-force connection suited for flexible or rigid-flex PCB assemblies in portable and wearable electronics.
In what product categories is a keyed 6-position 0.050 inch pitch connector like the TFC-103-02-FM-D-A-K most valuable?
Keyed 6-position 0.050 inch pitch connectors like the TFC-103-02-FM-D-A-K are especially valuable in medical monitoring devices, handheld instruments, and IoT sensor modules where a small 6-pin flex interface must be repeatedly mated and de-mated reliably without mis-orientation risk, and where PCB real estate is limited to a 3-per-row dual-row footprint.
