Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 16-position layout of TFC-108-02-FM-D-A-K fit into compact embedded system PCB designs?
With 16 positions arranged in a dual-row layout at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, TFC-108-02-FM-D-A-K provides 16 signal contacts in a board footprint approximately 0.5 inch long. This compact form factor allows integration into small embedded system boards, sensor modules, or daughter cards where limited PCB area is available for inter-board signal routing.
What mating connector types are compatible with TFC-108-02-FM-D-A-K female sockets?
TFC-108-02-FM-D-A-K female socket contacts at 0.050" pitch are designed to mate with SAMTEC male square-pin header connectors from compatible TFC and SFM series with matching 16-position dual-row layouts. The 1.27 mm pitch is a standard SAMTEC Tiger Claw and Tiger Eye series dimension, ensuring cross-compatibility within the same product family for 16-pin board stacking connections.
For a prototype sensor module needing 16 inter-board signals, when should TFC-108-02-FM-D-A-K be chosen over a ribbon cable connector?
TFC-108-02-FM-D-A-K is preferred over a ribbon cable connector when the design requires a direct board-to-board stacking interface without flexible cable routing. Its 16-position 0.050" pitch footprint is more rigid and space-efficient than a ribbon approach, and the female socket contacts provide a low-profile mating point suitable for stacked PCB modules where overall assembly height and signal integrity at moderate speeds matter more than cable flexibility.
