What are the key features of TFC-114-02-FM-D?

  • 28-position dual-row layout on 1.27 mm pitch delivers 2× the signal density of standard 2.54 mm headers in the same board-edge length
  • Tiger Eye contact design provides superior spring force and contact reliability for repeated mating cycles
  • Flat-mount (FM) surface-mount termination enables low-profile board-to-board stacking in space-constrained designs
  • Cost-effective TFC series construction reduces BOM cost compared to high-performance alternatives without sacrificing signal integrity at low frequencies

What is TFC-114-02-FM-D used for?

The TFC-114-02-FM-D is designed for high-density board-to-board and board-to-cable interconnection in FPGA development boards, embedded computing modules, and high-channel-count signal acquisition systems where 28 signals must be routed through a 1.27 mm pitch connector. Its dual-row configuration and flat-mount SMT termination suit stacked PCB designs in industrial PLCs, data acquisition cards, and communication interface modules. The Tiger Eye contact geometry ensures reliable mating with SAMTEC TFM or compatible 1.27 mm pitch female socket strips across repeated connect-disconnect cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What contact count and pitch does TFC-114-02-FM-D provide for high-density interconnects?

TFC-114-02-FM-D provides 28 contacts arranged in a dual-row (2×14) configuration on a 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch; this places all 28 signals within a board-edge span of approximately 17.8 mm (14 positions × 1.27 mm), compared to 35.6 mm required by an equivalent 2.54 mm pitch connector — a 50% reduction in connector length.

What is the rated current and voltage per contact for TFC-114-02-FM-D?

SAMTEC TFC-series contacts are typically rated at 1 A per contact and up to 100 V AC/DC; for the 28-position TFC-114-02-FM-D, this means a total connector current budget of up to 28 A if all contacts carry equal current, though thermal derating on adjacent pins in a dense PCB layout typically limits practical per-connector current to 50% to 70% of the theoretical maximum.

Which mating connector pairs with TFC-114-02-FM-D on the opposite board?

TFC-114-02-FM-D mates with SAMTEC's TFM series dual-row socket strips on the same 1.27 mm pitch; the TFM-114-XX-FM-D or equivalent TFM socket ensures proper Tiger Eye contact engagement, providing a mated stack height that can range from 5 mm to 15 mm depending on the chosen mating variant and PCB-to-PCB spacing requirement.

How does TFC-114-02-FM-D's flat-mount SMT termination affect soldering and rework?

The flat-mount (FM) termination style presents contact tails flush with the connector body base, producing a solderable footprint compatible with standard SMT reflow profiles peaking at 260°C; rework is straightforward with hot-air soldering equipment, and the low-profile land pattern reduces shadowing of adjacent components during reflow, making TFC-114-02-FM-D suitable for densely populated mixed-technology boards.
