Key Features
- 8-position dual-row Tiger Eye terminal strip with 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, ideal for compact signal interfaces requiring minimal board real estate
- Cost-effective Tiger Eye contact design reducing per-pin connector cost for low-to-medium mating cycle applications
- Surface-mount compatible design enabling automated PCB assembly with standard pick-and-place and reflow soldering equipment
Applications
The TFC-104-02-FM-D-A-K is used for compact 8-signal board-to-board interfaces in consumer electronics, IoT sensor modules, and small embedded control boards operating at 0.050" pitch. Its low pin count and small dual-row footprint make it a practical solution for applications where only a limited number of signals need to be routed between boards. The cost-effective Tiger Eye contact design also suits prototyping and low-volume production runs where budget constraints are a primary concern.

Frequently Asked Questions
For which space-constrained designs is the 8-position TFC-104-02-FM-D-A-K best suited?
The TFC-104-02-FM-D-A-K, with its 8 positions at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch in a dual-row format, is ideal for IoT sensor nodes, compact embedded controller boards, and small consumer electronic modules where only 8 signals are needed and PCB area is limited. The small dual-row footprint minimizes board space while maintaining reliable connectivity.
How does the Tiger Eye contact design in TFC-104-02-FM-D-A-K reduce total system cost?
Tiger Eye contacts offer a cost-optimized geometry that provides reliable mating for moderate duty cycles at a lower per-unit price than premium flash-gold or heavy-gold connectors. For 8-position applications in commercial electronics or IoT devices at 0.050" pitch, this translates to measurable savings on connector procurement, especially in production volumes of hundreds or thousands of units.
Can the TFC-104-02-FM-D-A-K replace a standard 8-pin 0.050" pitch connector in an existing design?
Yes, the TFC-104-02-FM-D-A-K is designed to the standard 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch used by many dual-row terminal strip families. In an existing 8-position layout, it can serve as a direct footprint-compatible alternative, provided the contact height and termination style (surface-mount) match the original design requirements. Engineers should verify the body depth of 0.050" pitch SMT connectors to ensure clearance constraints are met.
