Key Features
- 16-position dual-row configuration at 0.050-inch (1.27 mm) pitch providing compact signal routing with minimal PCB footprint
- Tiger Eye contact design ensuring consistent electrical contact integrity and low insertion force across all 16 pins
- Low-profile through-hole or SMT compatible design allowing flexible board integration in compact electronic assemblies
Applications
The TFC-108-02-L-D-A-K is suited for low pin-count board-to-board and wire-to-board interconnects in compact electronics requiring only 16 signal or mixed signal-power connections at 0.050-inch pitch. Its small form factor makes it ideal for accessory header connections on microcontroller boards, sensor module interfaces, and secondary expansion ports on embedded systems. The cost-effective Tiger Eye design supports reliable performance in both commercial and light industrial PCB applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the contact count and row layout of the TFC-108-02-L-D-A-K?
The TFC-108-02-L-D-A-K has 16 total positions in a dual-row arrangement with 8 contacts per row, at a 0.050-inch (1.27 mm) pitch. This compact 8x2 layout is well-suited for secondary interface headers and expansion connectors where a small pin count is required.
How does the 16-pin TFC-108 compare to larger TFC variants for low-I/O microcontroller interfaces?
For microcontrollers with 8 to 12 GPIO lines, the 16-pin TFC-108 provides enough contacts for all I/O signals plus 4 dedicated ground or power pins, whereas a 26-pin or larger TFC would introduce unused pins and excess connector length. The TFC-108 thus minimizes PCB footprint and component cost in low-I/O embedded designs.
Can the TFC-108-02-L-D-A-K support mixed power and signal connections, and what current per pin is typical?
Yes, the TFC-108-02-L-D-A-K can carry both signal and low-current power on its 16 contacts, with a typical current rating of approximately 1 A per contact at the 0.050-inch pitch. Designers commonly dedicate 2 to 4 pins for 3.3 V or 5 V supply and ground, with the remaining contacts used for digital signal lines.
