What are the key features of TFC-108-02-FM-D-A?
- 16 positions in a dual-row layout on 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch for mid-density board-edge signal breakout
- FM right-angle mounting provides board-edge cable access through enclosure panel cutouts
- A through-hole termination delivers strong mechanical retention against cable pull forces
- Tiger Eye bifurcated contact design ensures reliable, low-insertion-force mating across all 16 positions
- Cost-effective design delivers SAMTEC quality at reduced BOM cost for high-volume applications
What is TFC-108-02-FM-D-A used for?
The TFC-108-02-FM-D-A is ideal for sensor interface boards, microcontroller development kits, and small embedded modules where 16 positions at 0.050" pitch provide a compact right-angle cable connector accessible from the board edge. It suits IoT gateways and portable data loggers where board-edge access is needed through enclosure panel slots and through-hole termination resists the mechanical stress of repeated cable plug-unplug cycles. The cost-effective Tiger Eye contact also makes it economical for high-volume consumer electronics requiring reliable 16-pin connections.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the contact arrangement and pitch of TFC-108-02-FM-D-A, and how compact is its PCB footprint?
The TFC-108-02-FM-D-A has 16 positions in a 2-row by 8-column arrangement on a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. The 8-column dual-row layout spans approximately 10 mm along the board edge, making this connector roughly 50% shorter than an equivalent 16-pin connector at 0.100" pitch and well suited for compact microcontroller boards, sensor modules, and portable data loggers with limited PCB edge space.
How does the FM right-angle through-hole design of TFC-108-02-FM-D-A serve IoT gateway enclosure integration?
The FM right-angle orientation of TFC-108-02-FM-D-A routes the mating cable connector horizontally out from the board edge, allowing it to exit through a rectangular panel cutout in an IoT gateway enclosure without requiring vertical clearance above the PCB. The A through-hole termination anchors all 16 pins through the PCB laminate, providing solder joints on both sides of the board that withstand repeated cable insertions and the mechanical stress of field servicing without pad delamination.
For a cost-sensitive wearable sensor design, how does TFC-108-02-FM-D-A compare to using two separate 8-pin 0.050" connectors?
Using a single TFC-108-02-FM-D-A 16-position connector instead of two separate 8-pin connectors reduces the PCB footprint by eliminating one connector body and its associated placement and soldering operations. In a cost-sensitive wearable sensor with a PCB smaller than 30 mm x 30 mm, consolidating 16 signals into one Tiger Eye connector also reduces the risk of misrouting signals between two adjacent 8-pin headers, simplifies cable harness design to a single 16-pin assembly, and lowers total connector BOM cost through per-unit pricing of the larger single connector.
