Key Features
- 22-position dual-row 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch Tiger Eye terminal strip enabling very high density signal connections in space-constrained SMD PCB layouts
- Tiger Eye contact design providing superior normal force and reliable low-insertion-force mating for consistent electrical contact across hundreds of mating cycles
- Cost-effective design philosophy reducing per-pin connector cost while maintaining SAMTEC quality and compatibility with standard 0.050" pitch cable assemblies
Applications
TFC-111-02-FM-D-A is suited for fine-pitch board-to-board signal routing in portable instruments, data acquisition systems, and high-density embedded computing modules where 22 signals must pass through a 0.050" pitch interface in minimal board area. Its Tiger Eye contact geometry ensures reliable mating even in environments with moderate vibration, making it appropriate for test equipment, medical devices, and compact industrial sensors. The SMD dual-row layout integrates cleanly into automated PCB assembly processes and pairs with standard SAMTEC TFC-series cable mates.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pitch and position count does TFC-111-02-FM-D-A offer, and how does that affect board density?
TFC-111-02-FM-D-A provides 22 positions on a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch in a dual-row arrangement. This fine pitch allows approximately twice the signal density of standard 0.100" pitch connectors in the same PCB footprint length, enabling compact multi-signal interfaces on space-constrained boards such as portable instruments and embedded modules.
What is the Tiger Eye contact technology in TFC-111-02-FM-D-A and how does it improve reliability?
The Tiger Eye contact in TFC-111-02-FM-D-A uses a dual-beam spring design that applies higher normal contact force than a single-beam alternative, ensuring stable electrical contact with contact resistance well below 50 mΩ even after repeated mating cycles. This design reduces intermittent connection failures in applications subject to moderate vibration or thermal cycling.
Which application segments commonly use TFC-111-02-FM-D-A fine-pitch terminal strips?
TFC-111-02-FM-D-A is frequently used in data acquisition boards, portable medical monitors, and high-density FPGA daughter cards where 22 digital or analog signals must cross a board interface within a PCB area of less than 15 mm × 3 mm. Its 0.050" pitch also appears in backplane-to-mezzanine connections in compact embedded computing platforms.
How does the cost-effective series positioning of TFC-111-02-FM-D-A compare to premium SAMTEC fine-pitch connectors?
TFC-111-02-FM-D-A belongs to SAMTEC's cost-optimized connector line, offering the Tiger Eye dual-beam contact at a lower per-pin price than high-speed differential-pair connectors such as the SEARAY or EDAC series. For designs requiring 22 single-ended signals at speeds below 1 GHz, TFC-111-02-FM-D-A delivers adequate signal integrity at a fraction of the cost of high-speed alternatives.
