Key Features
- 26-position dual-row configuration at 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch for cost-effective high-density terminal strip interconnects
- Tiger Eye bifurcated contact design ensures 2 contact points per pin for vibration-resistant reliable mating across 200+ cycles
- FM surface mount configuration enables automated SMT placement in high-volume PCB assembly lines
- Cost-effective TFC series provides Tiger Eye contact reliability at reduced component cost versus full TFM series connectors
Applications
TFC-113-02-FM-D is used for high-density board-to-board and module-to-board signal connections in cost-sensitive industrial controls, consumer electronics sub-assemblies, and embedded systems requiring reliable 26-position 1.27 mm pitch interconnects. Its Tiger Eye contact technology and SMD footprint also make it appropriate for prototype mezzanine cards, FPGA daughter boards, and data acquisition modules where dual-row fine-pitch connectivity must balance cost and reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many signal positions does TFC-113-02-FM-D provide and at what contact pitch?
TFC-113-02-FM-D provides 26 positions in a dual-row layout at 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch, with 13 contacts per row. The dual-row configuration achieves approximately 10 contacts per centimeter per row, enabling high-density signal routing in compact FPGA mezzanine and data acquisition module PCB footprints.
How does the Tiger Eye contact technology in TFC-113-02-FM-D differ from single-beam contacts?
Tiger Eye contacts use a bifurcated spring with 2 independent contact beams per pin. Each beam independently wipes the mating pin, maintaining electrical continuity below 20 mΩ contact resistance even if one beam deflects due to vibration or misalignment, while single-beam contacts lose continuity under similar conditions after 100 to 200 mating cycles.
For cost-sensitive embedded systems, when is TFC-113-02-FM-D preferred over the premium TFM series connector?
TFC-113-02-FM-D is preferred when the application requires fewer than 200 mating cycles and gold-plated contacts are not needed. The TFC series achieves 30% to 40% lower cost per unit versus TFM series by using tin-plated or standard finish contacts, while still providing Tiger Eye reliability for SMT board-to-board connections at 1.27 mm pitch.
What PCB assembly process is TFC-113-02-FM-D designed for and how does the FM configuration support production?
TFC-113-02-FM-D is designed for automated SMT reflow assembly via its FM (surface mount) termination style. The SMD pad pattern is compatible with standard pick-and-place machines handling components up to 35 mm in length, enabling high-throughput production at placement rates above 5,000 components per hour on modern assembly lines.
