Key Features
- 22-position dual-row terminal strip at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch for compact board-to-board connections with minimal PCB footprint
- Tiger Eye bifurcated contact design ensuring self-cleaning wiping action and consistent low-resistance mating across repeated cycles
- Cost-optimized construction ideal for volume production designs requiring reliable 22-pin 0.050" pitch interconnects at reduced BOM cost
Applications
The TFC-111-02-FM-D-A-K serves compact module and daughter card applications where 22 signal or power connections are needed at 0.050" pitch with a cost-effective connector solution. It is commonly found in embedded sensor modules, wireless communication add-on cards, and small industrial controller boards that require a reliable but budget-conscious interconnect. Designers in consumer electronics and IoT product lines benefit from its low per-unit cost without sacrificing the contact quality expected from SAMTEC.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the TFC-111-02-FM-D-A-K provide, and what is the contact pitch?
The TFC-111-02-FM-D-A-K is a dual-row terminal strip with 22 total positions at a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. This low pin count at fine pitch is well matched to small module and daughter card designs needing between 10 and 22 signals per connector, keeping the PCB footprint minimal while maintaining SAMTEC's signal integrity standards.
What are the key reliability features of Tiger Eye contacts in the TFC-111-02-FM-D-A-K?
Tiger Eye contacts use a bifurcated spring beam that creates a wiping motion when the connector is mated, mechanically cleaning the contact interface of oxide layers and particulates. This results in stable contact resistance typically below 20 milliohms across the 22 positions and remains reliable over hundreds of mating cycles, which is important for module systems that are inserted and removed during testing or field maintenance.
In which small-form-factor board applications does the 22-position TFC-111-02-FM-D-A-K fit best?
The 22-position TFC-111-02-FM-D-A-K is best suited for compact sensor modules, wireless radios, small FPGA daughter cards, and IoT gateway expansion boards where 22 dual-row 0.050" pitch connections suffice. Its small footprint and cost-effectiveness make it a natural fit for consumer electronics, smart home devices, and low-cost industrial monitoring units produced in volumes of thousands per month.
Can the TFC-111-02-FM-D-A-K be replaced with a higher-position SAMTEC terminal strip if future designs need more contacts?
Yes, SAMTEC's TFC cost-effective terminal strip family is available from as few as 4 positions up to over 100 positions in dual-row 0.050" pitch configurations. Upgrading from the 22-position TFC-111-02-FM-D-A-K to a higher count such as 54 positions (TFC-127) or 58 positions (TFC-129) requires only a PCB layout change, as the 0.050" pitch and dual-row geometry remain constant across the series.
