What are the key features of TFC-104-02-FM-D-A-K-TR?
- 8-position dual-row Tiger Eye SMT terminal strip at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch in tape-and-reel (TR) format for automated pick-and-place assembly in high-volume PCB production
- Tiger Eye bifurcated contact geometry provides reliable high-normal-force mating at 0.050" pitch, maintaining consistent electrical contact over repeated daughtercard insertion and removal cycles
- Compact 8-position footprint makes the TFC-104-02-FM-D-A-K-TR an economical choice for narrow-bus interfaces such as SPI, UART, and low-channel sensor breakouts on space-constrained PCBs
What is TFC-104-02-FM-D-A-K-TR used for?
The TFC-104-02-FM-D-A-K-TR is ideal for compact embedded modules, sensor breakout boards, and IoT edge devices that need a small 8-position, 0.050" pitch SMT connector for SPI, UART, or GPIO signal routing to a host PCB. Its tape-and-reel format supports seamless integration into automated pick-and-place SMT assembly lines, reducing placement cost per unit in high-volume production. Industrial control sub-modules and wireless communication daughtercards also use this terminal strip for its reliable Tiger Eye contact in a minimal PCB footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of serial bus interfaces can the 8-position TFC-104-02-FM-D-A-K-TR support at 0.050" pitch?
The TFC-104-02-FM-D-A-K-TR provides 8 positions at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch in a dual-row SMT layout, sufficient for SPI (4 signals + chip select + power + ground), UART (TX, RX, power, ground, plus optional flow control), I2C (SCL, SDA, power, ground), and similar low-channel serial interfaces on embedded processor or microcontroller daughtercards and sensor breakout boards.
How does the tape-and-reel packaging of the TFC-104-02-FM-D-A-K-TR reduce assembly cost in high-volume SMT production?
The TR (tape-and-reel) suffix on TFC-104-02-FM-D-A-K-TR indicates that connectors are fed on a continuous reel compatible with standard SMT pick-and-place machines, eliminating manual component orientation and reducing placement cycle time. For high-volume IoT module, industrial sensor, and embedded controller PCB lines, this format can lower assembly labor cost significantly compared to tube or tray packaging of 8-position, 0.050" pitch dual-row terminal strips.
When is the 8-position TFC-104-02-FM-D-A-K-TR preferred over a larger position count terminal strip?
The TFC-104-02-FM-D-A-K-TR is the preferred choice when the interface only requires 8 or fewer signal lines, such as a 4-wire SPI bus with power and ground on a compact IoT sensor or wireless module. Using only 8 positions at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch minimizes the PCB footprint to under 7 mm wide in the dual-row layout, freeing board area for other components compared to higher position count SAMTEC TFC variants.
