Frequently Asked Questions
What contact finish and material does TFC-105-02-F-D-K-TR use, and why does it matter for reliability?
The TFC-105-02-F-D-K-TR uses phosphor bronze contacts with gold (3 µin minimum) mating finish and tin-over-nickel barrier on the termination side. Gold mating ensures low contact resistance below 20 mΩ and resists oxidation, while the nickel barrier prevents tin whisker migration during solder reflow at 260°C peak.
How compact is the TFC-105-02-F-D-K-TR body, and which space-constrained PCB layouts benefit from its 10-position dual-row design?
The connector body measures 0.375" × 0.225" × 0.226", making it one of the smallest 10-pin dual-row SMT connectors at 0.050" pitch. IoT sensor modules, handheld medical devices, and wearable PCBs with board areas under 20 cm² benefit from this footprint, as it occupies less than 0.085 in² of PCB surface.
For a portable industrial sensor design, how many mating cycles does the Tiger Eye contact geometry support?
SAMTEC Tiger Eye contacts are rated for a minimum of 30 mating cycles at full rated current of 0.5 A per pin, sufficient for field-maintenance scenarios where modules are swapped quarterly. The low-insertion-force design keeps mating force under 0.3 N per pin, reducing connector fatigue across the rated cycle life.
When does the TFC-105-02-F-D-K-TR offer a cost advantage over a standard TFM-series connector in a 10-pin application?
The TFC (cost-effective) series uses a simplified housing molded from high-temperature LCP rated to 260°C, which reduces material cost by approximately 15-20% versus the full TFM series while maintaining 0.050" pitch and 10-position dual-row compatibility, making it attractive for production runs exceeding 10,000 units per year.
