Applications
The TFC-111-02-F-D-A-K is ideal for medium-density signal interconnection in embedded computing, industrial I/O, and test equipment applications. The 22-position dual-row configuration on a 0.050" pitch allows designers to route 22 signals through a compact connector footprint on space-constrained PCBs. It is commonly used in daughter-card and piggyback board designs where reliable, repeatable mating is required.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the TFC-111-02-F-D-A-K provide and what pitch does it use?
The TFC-111-02-F-D-A-K offers 22 positions arranged in 2 rows on a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. This medium-count dual-row format delivers 22 signal connections in a compact footprint, suitable for embedded control boards and instrumentation designs where space is limited but a single connector for 22 signals is preferred over multiple smaller connectors.
What makes the Tiger Eye contact design in TFC-111-02-F-D-A-K well-suited for repeated mating cycles?
The Tiger Eye contact geometry uses a dual-beam cantilevered design that provides controlled normal force and secure retention during mating, typically sustaining over 500 mating cycles without significant degradation. Gold plating on the 22 contacts keeps contact resistance low — typically below 20 mΩ — ensuring reliable signal integrity in test fixtures and field-replaceable daughter cards.
In which embedded system designs should an engineer choose TFC-111-02-F-D-A-K over a 0.100" pitch 22-position strip?
When PCB board area is limited and routing 22 signals at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch would consume too much real estate, the TFC-111-02-F-D-A-K at 0.050" pitch roughly halves the connector length. This advantage is most notable in compact SBCs, handheld instruments, and embedded modules operating from 3.3 V or 5 V rails where reducing connector size frees space for other critical components.
Is TFC-111-02-F-D-A-K suitable for use in industrial temperature environments?
SAMTEC TFC-series connectors are designed to operate across an extended temperature range of -55°C to +125°C, making TFC-111-02-F-D-A-K appropriate for industrial control panels, factory automation I/O modules, and outdoor instrumentation. The gold-plated contacts and robust housing material maintain dimensional stability and low contact resistance across this full 180°C operating temperature span.
