What are the key features of TFC-103-02-L-D-A-K-TR?
- 6-position dual-row layout at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch suits low-pin-count board interfaces in space-constrained designs
- Tin (Sn) over nickel (Ni) barrier termination finish resists tin whisker formation and improves solderability in reflow processes
- Tape-and-reel (-TR) packaging enables automated pick-and-place assembly for high-volume PCB production lines
- Tiger Eye cost-effective design reduces connector cost for commercial applications where high-reliability ratings are not required
What is TFC-103-02-L-D-A-K-TR used for?
The TFC-103-02-L-D-A-K-TR is suited for low-pin-count board-to-board or board-to-cable signal interface applications in consumer electronics, IoT sensor nodes, and compact industrial modules where only 6 contacts are needed at 0.050" pitch. Tape-and-reel packaging allows the connector to be fed through automated pick-and-place equipment, supporting high-volume assembly without operator handling. Its tin-over-nickel contact termination ensures reliable solder joint formation during standard reflow processes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the TFC-103-02-L-D-A-K-TR use a nickel barrier under the tin termination finish?
The nickel (Ni) barrier layer between the base contact metal and the tin (Sn) termination surface prevents copper diffusion into the tin, which can degrade solderability over time. This finish also reduces tin whisker formation risk compared to pure tin plating, making the TFC-103-02-L-D-A-K-TR suitable for commercial applications with JESD-609 code e3 compatibility and lead-free reflow processes at up to approximately 260°C.
What is the advantage of selecting the tape-and-reel version (-TR) of the TFC-103-02-L-D-A-K for production?
The tape-and-reel packaging feeds the 6-position connector into automated pick-and-place machines at a consistent orientation, eliminating manual placement errors on the 1.27 mm pitch SMT land pattern. For assembly lines producing thousands of boards per shift, tape-and-reel packaging for components like the TFC-103-02-L-D-A-K-TR significantly reduces cycle time and misplacement defects compared to tube or tray packaging.
For which low-pin-count PCB interface applications is the TFC-103-02-L-D-A-K-TR most commonly used?
The TFC-103-02-L-D-A-K-TR with its 6 contact positions at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch is commonly used for small daughter-module connectors on IoT sensor nodes, serial communication interfaces carrying 6-wire signals such as SPI plus chip selects, and low-channel analog output boards in industrial systems. Its compact dual-row format fits 6 contacts in a footprint of approximately 3 positions per row, ideal for densely populated PCBs.
How does the TFC-103-02-L-D-A-K-TR position itself versus a higher-reliability 6-position SAMTEC connector at the same pitch?
Compared to a high-reliability SAMTEC SFM-series 6-position connector, the TFC-103-02-L-D-A-K-TR offers a lower unit cost by using a Tiger Eye commercial-grade contact design rated for fewer mating cycles. For consumer IoT or commercial industrial products with moderate operational lifespans of 3 to 7 years, the TFC series provides sufficient performance at a meaningfully reduced BOM cost per unit, making it the preferred choice when thousands of connectors are purchased annually.
