Key Features
- 16-position dual-row male connector at 0.050" pitch in a 0.525 inch body with PEG mounting for precise PCB alignment
- Gold (3 µin) mating contact finish over phosphor bronze ensures reliable low-resistance electrical contact across mating cycles
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables high-volume automated pick-and-place assembly for production-scale SMT manufacturing
Applications
The TFC-108-02-F-D-A-K-TR is suited for high-volume automated assembly of compact board-to-board interconnects in consumer electronics, industrial sensors, and embedded computing modules requiring 16 signal connections. The tape-and-reel packaging integrates directly into SMT pick-and-place machines for efficient production throughput. Gold mating contacts at 3 µin over phosphor bronze ensure consistent contact resistance and mating reliability in the finished assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does TFC-108-02-F-D-A-K-TR use different finishes on the mating and termination contacts?
The TFC-108-02-F-D-A-K-TR uses gold (3 µin) plating on the mating contact surfaces to minimize contact resistance and provide corrosion resistance at the socket interface over repeated mating cycles. The termination contacts use tin (Sn) over a nickel (Ni) barrier, which is optimized for solderability during reflow assembly. This dual-finish approach balances mating reliability with cost-effective PCB soldering performance across all 16 positions.
What production advantages does the TR (tape-and-reel) packaging of TFC-108-02-F-D-A-K-TR provide?
Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging allows the TFC-108-02-F-D-A-K-TR to be fed directly into automated SMT pick-and-place machines without manual handling. This is critical for high-volume production runs where placing 16-position connectors at 0.050" pitch manually would introduce placement errors and slow throughput. The TR format also reduces handling damage compared to bulk-packed connectors during shipping and storage.
For a 16-signal embedded module design, how does the 0.525 inch body length of TFC-108-02-F-D-A-K-TR help with space constraints?
The TFC-108-02-F-D-A-K-TR body length is 0.525 inch (13.3 mm) for 16 positions at 0.050" pitch, making it one of the more compact dual-row connectors available for this pin count. Combined with a body breadth of 0.225 inch and PEG mounting for precise board registration, it fits within tight keep-out zones on dense embedded module PCBs where larger connectors would encroach on nearby components or routing channels.
