Key Features
- 22-position dual-row friction-mate terminal strip on 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch for high-density low-profile board interconnects
- Tiger Eye contact design delivers consistent normal force and reliable electrical connection without additional latching hardware
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables high-volume automated SMT pick-and-place placement with zero manual handling
- Cost-effective TFC series offers an economical alternative to high-cost precision board-to-board connectors in space-limited PCB designs
Applications
The TFC-111-02-FM-D-A-K-TR is used in compact embedded system boards, data acquisition modules, and consumer electronics where a low-profile 1.27 mm pitch dual-row terminal strip is needed for board-to-board or wire-to-board connections. Its friction-mate Tiger Eye contacts provide quick interconnection without tools in prototyping and production rework scenarios. The tape-and-reel format supports seamless integration into high-volume automated SMT assembly lines.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pitch and position count does the TFC-111-02-FM-D-A-K-TR use, and how compact is its footprint?
The TFC-111-02-FM-D-A-K-TR is a 22-position dual-row terminal strip with a 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) contact pitch. This tight pitch allows designers to route 22 signal positions in two rows within a very small PCB footprint, making it well-suited for compact embedded or handheld device PCB layouts.
How does the Tiger Eye contact technology in the TFC-111-02-FM-D-A-K-TR improve connection reliability?
SAMTEC's Tiger Eye contact geometry uses a formed beam design that applies consistent normal force against the mating pin, ensuring low contact resistance over multiple insertions. This design tolerates minor pin misalignment while maintaining reliable signal integrity at operating voltages up to the connector's rated level, making it more forgiving than standard square-post friction-fit terminals.
Is the TFC-111-02-FM-D-A-K-TR available in tape-and-reel packaging for high-volume SMT assembly?
Yes, the -TR suffix designates tape-and-reel packaging with components oriented for automated pick-and-place equipment. This allows manufacturers to process the TFC-111-02-FM-D-A-K-TR on standard SMT lines at high throughput, reducing per-unit handling time compared to tray or bulk packaging for production volumes exceeding 1,000 units per run.
When would a designer choose the TFC-111-02-FM-D-A-K-TR over a higher-cost precision board-to-board connector?
The TFC series is the cost-effective choice when the design does not require high cycle counts (above 50 insertions) or extreme environmental sealing. For single-board computing accessories, lab instruments, and consumer electronics with 1.27 mm pitch constraints requiring 22 positions, it delivers equivalent electrical performance to premium connectors at a lower unit cost, especially at order quantities of 100 pieces or more.
