What are the key features of TFC-108-02-L-D-A?
- Gold-over-nickel (Au/Ni) mating contact finish ensures low contact resistance of 15 milliohms and long mating cycle life
- Dual-row 16-position layout at 0.050 inch pitch provides dense signal routing in a 0.925 x 0.225 inch footprint
- Phosphor bronze contact material delivers superior spring force retention for reliable electrical contact in vibration environments
What is TFC-108-02-L-D-A used for?
TFC-108-02-L-D-A is used in mezzanine card and daughter-board applications within embedded systems and FPGA evaluation platforms where 16 signals must be connected in a compact 0.050 inch pitch footprint. Test and measurement instruments use it as a board-to-board connector for modular signal acquisition cards that require low-resistance connections under 15 milliohms. Its gold contact finish makes it appropriate for low-voltage logic interfaces in military, aerospace, and industrial rack-mount systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What contact finish does TFC-108-02-L-D-A use, and what advantage does it provide over tin-finished alternatives?
TFC-108-02-L-D-A uses gold-over-nickel (Au on Ni) contact finish on the mating surfaces, providing a contact resistance below 15 milliohms and excellent corrosion resistance. Gold finish is preferred over tin in high-cycle or high-reliability applications because it prevents oxide buildup that tin contacts develop after approximately 50 mate-unmate cycles, maintaining stable low resistance over the connector's lifetime.
How many positions does TFC-108-02-L-D-A have, and how does its pitch affect PCB layout density?
TFC-108-02-L-D-A is a 16-position dual-row connector at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch, fitting 8 contacts per row in a body length of 0.925 inches. At 1.27 mm pitch it requires approximately half the PCB area of equivalent 0.1 inch pitch connectors, enabling denser routing on mezzanine boards where multiple connectors are placed side by side.
What connector body material and contact material does TFC-108-02-L-D-A use, and why does that matter for signal integrity?
TFC-108-02-L-D-A uses phosphor bronze contacts, which have a tensile strength of approximately 700 MPa and maintain consistent spring force over thousands of mate-unmate cycles. The phosphor bronze base with nickel barrier and gold mating finish keeps contact resistance stable at under 15 milliohms, preventing signal degradation in high-speed logic interfaces operating at 3.3 V or 1.8 V logic levels.
Which procurement format is TFC-108-02-L-D-A available in, and how does this affect ordering for prototype versus production quantities?
TFC-108-02-L-D-A is available in standard tray packaging suitable for both prototype hand-assembly and small-batch SMT production. For high-volume production requiring tape-and-reel (TR) format, designers would select the TR variant of the TFC series. Minimum order quantities are typically 1 piece for prototyping, with price breaks at 100 and 1000 units common for the 16-position SMT connector format.
