Key Features
- 28-position dual-row 0.050" pitch Tiger Eye terminal strip enabling ultra-high-density signal interconnect on compact PCBs
- 3 µin gold over phosphor bronze mating contacts offering cost-effective corrosion resistance with reliable low insertion force
- Tin-over-nickel barrier termination contacts providing robust solder adhesion and RoHS-compatible assembly processing
Applications
TFC-114-02-F-D-A is engineered for high-density signal routing in computing modules, telecom line cards, and test and measurement equipment where 0.050-inch pitch saves board space compared to 0.100-inch alternatives. Its dual-row 28-position layout allows 28 connections in a 0.825 x 0.225 inch footprint, reducing connector area by roughly 50% versus standard pitch. The Tiger Eye cost-effective design makes it suitable for price-sensitive volume production while maintaining reliable signal integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pitch and contact count does TFC-114-02-F-D-A provide, and how does 0.050-inch pitch compare to standard options?
TFC-114-02-F-D-A provides 28 positions across 2 rows on a 0.050-inch (1.27 mm) pitch. Compared to the standard 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch, the 0.050-inch pitch reduces the connector length by approximately 50%, fitting the same 28 signals into a 0.825-inch body length instead of roughly 1.65 inches, which is critical for high-density PCB layouts in compact embedded or computing modules.
What contact material and mating finish does TFC-114-02-F-D-A use, and why does it matter for cost-sensitive designs?
The contacts are made from phosphor bronze with 3 microinches of gold on the mating surface and tin-over-nickel on the termination side. Phosphor bronze provides good spring force for reliable contact retention, while 3 µin gold is sufficient for moderate mating cycle counts (typically up to several hundred cycles) at a lower plating cost than the 15-30 µin gold used in high-reliability military connectors, making TFC-114-02-F-D-A well-suited for commercial cost-sensitive designs.
Can TFC-114-02-F-D-A be used as a board-to-board or wire-to-board connector, and what is its body size?
TFC-114-02-F-D-A is specified as a board connector (terminal strip) primarily designed for wire-to-board or board-to-board signal connections using the Tiger Eye mating system. The body measures 0.825 inch in length, 0.225 inch in breadth, and 0.226 inch in depth, making it one of the more compact 28-position connector options at the 0.050-inch pitch standard used in space-constrained telecom and computing applications.
