Applications
The TFC-114-02-FM-D-A-K is designed for high-density board-to-board connections in embedded computing, telecommunications modules, and industrial control systems requiring 28-channel signal routing. Its dual-row 0.050" pitch layout compresses signal routing into a minimal PCB footprint, making it ideal for mezzanine card and daughter board connections. The female SMT configuration mates with corresponding male terminal strips for reliable modular interconnect in compact electronic assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the TFC-114-02-FM-D-A-K provide, and what pitch spacing does it use?
The TFC-114-02-FM-D-A-K provides 28 positions in a dual-row layout with a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. This fine-pitch arrangement routes 28 independent signals through a compact PCB footprint, making it an efficient choice for embedded modules, communication boards, and test fixtures where both pin count and board space are design constraints.
What is the Tiger Eye contact technology in TFC-114-02-FM-D-A-K, and how does it improve connector reliability?
Tiger Eye contacts are a SAMTEC-proprietary design that creates a wiping action during mating, displacing surface oxides and contaminants from the contact interface. This wiping mechanism maintains low and stable contact resistance across 28 positions even after repeated mating cycles, making TFC-114-02-FM-D-A-K more reliable than standard beam contacts in applications with frequent connector engagement or potential surface oxidation.
For a mezzanine card design needing 28 signal channels, how does TFC-114-02-FM-D-A-K compare to a single-row 0.100" pitch alternative?
A single-row 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch connector with 28 positions would span 70.6 mm in length, whereas TFC-114-02-FM-D-A-K's dual-row 0.050" pitch layout accommodates 28 positions in approximately 0.85 inch (21.6 mm). This represents roughly a 69% reduction in connector body length, which is a decisive advantage for mezzanine card and compact embedded module designs with tight PCB layout constraints.
