Key Features
- 28-position dual-row terminal strip at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch with Tiger Eye contact design for positive wiping engagement and reliable low contact resistance
- 15 µin gold-plated phosphor bronze mating contacts over nickel barrier on tin-plated terminations, balancing cost-effectiveness with reliable electrical performance
- Peg board-mounting option and tape-and-reel (TR) packaging facilitate accurate automated SMT placement and robust mechanical retention before soldering
Applications
The TFC-114-02-L-D-A-K-TR is ideal for cost-sensitive board-to-board and board-to-module interconnect designs in consumer electronics, industrial sensor modules, and embedded computing where 28-pin dual-row connectivity at 0.050" pitch is needed without the cost premium of high-cycle-life connectors. Its Tiger Eye contacts provide reliable signal continuity in moderate-cycle mating applications such as system assembly and field maintenance access panels. Tape-and-reel packaging ensures this connector integrates seamlessly into automated SMT production lines handling hundreds of boards per shift.

Frequently Asked Questions
What gold plating thickness do the TFC-114-02-L-D-A-K-TR mating contacts have, and why does it matter?
The TFC-114-02-L-D-A-K-TR mating contacts are plated with 15 µin (microinches) of gold over a nickel barrier on phosphor bronze, which provides reliable corrosion resistance and stable contact resistance across moderate mating cycle counts of approximately 50 to 100 insertions. This gold thickness is a cost-effective choice for designs where the 28-pin connector is mated during assembly or infrequent servicing rather than daily hot-swapping.
How does the Tiger Eye contact design of TFC-114-02-L-D-A-K-TR improve connection reliability compared to a standard post contact?
Tiger Eye contacts create a wiping action as the mating socket slides over the 28 dual-row pins at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, mechanically clearing oxide films and particulate contamination that can elevate contact resistance above acceptable limits. This self-wiping engagement typically maintains contact resistance below 20 milliohms even in moderately dusty or humid industrial environments where standard straight-post contacts might degrade over time.
For which cost-constrained applications is TFC-114-02-L-D-A-K-TR a better fit than premium high-cycle SAMTEC alternatives?
When a design requires 28-pin dual-row connectivity at 0.050" pitch but the mating cycle count stays below 100 and the connector budget is limited, the TFC series offers Tiger Eye reliability at a significantly lower per-unit cost than SAMTEC's high-reliability TFM series with 30 µin or 50 µin gold plating. Typical applications include sensor interface boards, low-cost IoT gateway modules, and industrial HMI daughtercards where connectors are installed once during manufacturing and only accessed again during occasional maintenance.
