What are the key features of TFC-106-02-FM-D-A-K-TR?
- 12-position dual-row 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch provides compact low-position-count connectivity for small embedded modules
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging supports fully automated pick-and-place assembly, reducing per-unit handling cost in production
- Tiger Eye dual-beam contact system ensures secure mating and consistent contact normal force across repeated mating cycles
- Gold-plated contact finish provides low contact resistance and long-term corrosion immunity suitable for industrial applications
What is TFC-106-02-FM-D-A-K-TR used for?
The TFC-106-02-FM-D-A-K-TR is designed for compact 12-signal board-to-board and daughter-card interconnections in embedded IoT modules, sensor interface boards, and small industrial I/O sub-assemblies. The tape-and-reel packaging makes it particularly suitable for high-volume automated assembly lines where manual tube handling would slow production throughput. Its 0.050" pitch keeps the connector footprint minimal, enabling its use on small-form-factor PCBs where every millimeter of board space is accounted for.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does TFC-106-02-FM-D-A-K-TR's 12-position count make it suitable for compact sensor interface designs?
A 12-position dual-row connector on 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch occupies a body length of only 6 x 0.050" = 0.30" (7.6 mm), making it one of the most compact dual-row connectors available for 12-signal interfaces. This small footprint suits embedded sensor modules, IMU breakout boards, and compact I/O sub-assemblies where the total PCB area is often under 25 mm x 25 mm and every connector must minimize its space claim.
What production benefits does the TR (tape-and-reel) packaging of TFC-106-02-FM-D-A-K-TR provide over tube packaging?
Tape-and-reel packaging loads connectors onto standardized 8 mm or 12 mm carrier tape reels containing typically 1000 to 3000 pieces each, enabling direct feeding into pick-and-place machines at placement rates up to 10,000 components per hour. Tube packaging requires manual loading into feeders and frequent refills, adding labor cost for high-volume builds. The TR format is essential for contract manufacturers building TFC-106-02-FM-D-A-K-TR at volumes above a few hundred units per batch.
What signal frequency limit should engineers observe when using TFC-106-02-FM-D-A-K-TR for digital bus connections?
The TFC-series 0.050" pitch connector is optimized for low-to-medium-speed digital signals. For signal integrity up to approximately 200 MHz, the connector performs reliably without special impedance matching. Above 200 MHz and up to 500 MHz, designers should model the connector stub length — approximately 4 mm pin length — in simulation, as reflections from the 0.050" pitch uncontrolled-impedance contacts may degrade eye diagrams for high-speed parallel buses in the 12-channel interface.
Is TFC-106-02-FM-D-A-K-TR a suitable replacement for a 2x6 DIP socket in small embedded board designs?
The TFC-106-02-FM-D-A-K-TR provides 12 positions in a 2x6 dual-row arrangement on 0.050" pitch, whereas a standard 2x6 DIP socket uses 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. The 0.050" pitch reduces the connector footprint length by 50%, so TFC-106-02-FM-D-A-K-TR is the right choice when board area is constrained and the mating connector can also be changed to 0.050" pitch. For retrofit into an existing 0.100" DIP socket PCB, TFC-106-02-FM-D-A-K-TR is not a drop-in replacement.
