What are the key features of TFC-108-02-FM-D-A-K-TR?
- 16-position dual-row (8x2) layout on 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch for compact high-density through-hole interconnects
- Tape-and-reel packaging (TR suffix) enables automated pick-and-place assembly for high-volume production efficiency
- Tiger Eye contact geometry provides low insertion force across all 16 positions for reliable manual and automated mating
What is TFC-108-02-FM-D-A-K-TR used for?
The TFC-108-02-FM-D-A-K-TR is designed for high-volume automated production of embedded systems, IoT modules, and industrial sensor boards requiring 16 contacts at 0.050" pitch. The tape-and-reel packaging ensures compatibility with standard pick-and-place feeders, minimizing handling time and placement errors. Its cost-effective Tiger Eye contacts reduce overall connector BOM cost while delivering the signal integrity needed for compact multi-channel control and data acquisition applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the TR suffix indicate about the TFC-108-02-FM-D-A-K-TR and why does it matter for production?
The TR suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging, meaning the TFC-108-02-FM-D-A-K-TR is supplied on a reel compatible with automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. This packaging allows high-speed placement at rates of 1,000 or more parts per hour, reducing labor cost and placement error on boards with 16-position 0.050" connectors in high-volume runs.
For a 16-channel sensor interface board, how does the TFC-108-02-FM-D-A-K-TR's 0.050" pitch influence routing?
The 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch of the TFC-108-02-FM-D-A-K-TR places all 16 contacts within an 8-pin span of roughly 8.9 mm per row, leaving adjacent board zones free for signal conditioning components or MCU I/O headers. This compact pitch is roughly half the footprint of a 0.100" pitch 16-pin connector, benefiting tight sensor interface PCB layouts.
Is the TFC-108-02-FM-D-A-K-TR a suitable drop-in replacement for a standard 16-pin 0.050" terminal strip in an existing design?
The TFC-108-02-FM-D-A-K-TR is electrically and mechanically compatible with other Samtec TFC-series 16-position 0.050" dual-row terminal strips sharing the same footprint. The primary distinction is the TR (tape-and-reel) packaging, which suits high-volume automated assembly but can also be hand-placed; 8x2 contact layout and 1.27 mm pitch remain unchanged relative to tube-packed equivalents.
