Key Features
- 18 positions in dual rows at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch enables high-density surface mount board-to-board interconnect in compact PCB footprints
- Tiger Eye dual-beam gold-plated contacts deliver low-insertion-force mating and long-cycle reliability for repeated mating applications
- Cost-effective terminal strip design from SAMTEC balances performance and procurement economy for high-volume SMT production
Applications
The TFC-109-02-F-D-A is suited for mezzanine and daughter-card interconnect in embedded computing, networking, and telecommunications equipment where an 18-pin, 0.050 inch pitch connection is needed in a small footprint. Its dual-row layout efficiently routes signal and power lines between PCB stacks in space-constrained enclosures. Engineers also deploy it on development boards and test fixtures requiring a reliable, standard-pitch SMT terminal interface.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions and what pitch does the TFC-109-02-F-D-A provide for board-to-board SMT interconnect?
The TFC-109-02-F-D-A provides 18 positions arranged in 2 dual rows at a 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch, delivering a compact high-density surface mount terminal strip for board-to-board and mezzanine interconnect in networking, embedded computing, and telecommunications PCB designs.
What contact technology ensures reliable mating performance in the TFC-109-02-F-D-A over repeated cycles?
The TFC-109-02-F-D-A uses SAMTEC Tiger Eye dual-beam gold-plated contacts designed for low-insertion-force mating and reliable electrical performance over many mating cycles, making it suitable for daughter-card and test-fixture applications requiring repeated plug-and-unplug at 0.050 inch pitch.
Is the TFC-109-02-F-D-A a good fit for space-constrained mezzanine stacking compared to 0.100 inch pitch alternatives?
Yes. The TFC-109-02-F-D-A's 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch reduces the connector footprint by approximately 50% compared to standard 0.100 inch pitch strips, making it the preferred choice when 18 signal or power lines must fit in a tight PCB area for mezzanine or embedded daughter-card stacking applications.
