Frequently Asked Questions
What contact finish does TFC-109-02-L-D use, and how does it affect solderability?
The TFC-109-02-L-D uses matte tin (Sn) termination finish on its 18 male contacts, which provides excellent solderability for standard lead-free reflow soldering at peak temperatures up to 260°C, making it compatible with RoHS-compliant SMT assembly processes.
How does TFC-109-02-L-D compare to higher-pitch board stacking connectors for dense designs?
At 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch with 18 positions in dual-row configuration, TFC-109-02-L-D occupies roughly half the board footprint of equivalent 2.54 mm pitch connectors, enabling approximately 9 mm total connector width versus 18 mm, which is critical in compact embedded modules and stacked PCB assemblies.
Which stacked board configurations benefit from TFC-109-02-L-D in industrial control designs?
The 18-position, 1.27 mm pitch dual-row layout is well suited for processor-to-peripheral daughter-card stacking, FPGA mezzanine connections, and sensor interface boards in industrial PLCs and embedded computing platforms where 18 signal channels must be reliably bridged across 2 stacked PCB layers.
