Key Features
- 18-position dual-row Tiger Eye terminal strip with 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch for high-density interconnects
- Surface-mount tape-and-reel packaging enables high-speed automated PCB assembly
- Tiger Eye contact technology provides reliable mating with standard 0.050" pitch headers and low insertion force
Applications
TFC-109-02-FM-D-A-K-TR is well suited for high-density board-to-board and board-to-wire signal interconnections in compact embedded systems and industrial control modules. The 0.050" pitch dual-row layout supports routing of 18 signals in a minimal PCB footprint, making it ideal for data acquisition cards, communications backplanes, and test fixture interfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pitch and row configuration does TFC-109-02-FM-D-A-K-TR use, and how does that affect connector density?
TFC-109-02-FM-D-A-K-TR uses a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch dual-row layout to provide 18 positions in a footprint roughly half the size of a standard 0.100" pitch connector. This tight 1.27 mm pitch is ideal for high-density PCB designs where board space is limited, such as industrial control modules or compact embedded systems requiring 18 signal connections.
For automated PCB assembly lines, how is TFC-109-02-FM-D-A-K-TR packaged, and what pick-and-place accuracy does the -TR suffix indicate?
The -TR suffix designates tape-and-reel packaging, which is compatible with standard automated pick-and-place equipment. The reel format maintains 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch part orientation, enabling high-speed surface-mount assembly with typical placement accuracies of ±0.05 mm achievable on modern SMT lines, reducing manual handling and assembly errors.
When would TFC-109-02-FM-D-A-K-TR be preferred over a standard 0.100" pitch terminal strip for a 18-signal interface?
TFC-109-02-FM-D-A-K-TR is preferred when PCB real estate is constrained and 18 signals must route in a dual-row footprint at 1.27 mm pitch rather than 2.54 mm pitch. Compared to 0.100" alternatives, this connector saves approximately 50% of connector length, making it suitable for backplane daughtercard interfaces, test fixtures, and dense communications boards.
