Frequently Asked Questions
What physical dimensions and contact count does TFC-116-02-F-D-A provide for board stacking designs?
The TFC-116-02-F-D-A provides 32 positions in a dual-row configuration (16 contacts per row) with a 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch. Its body measures 0.925 inches long, 0.225 inches wide, and 0.226 inches deep, offering a compact footprint for high-density board stacking in embedded computing and FPGA systems.
How does the Tiger Eye contact mechanism in TFC-116-02-F-D-A benefit board stacking reliability?
The Tiger Eye dual-beam contact in TFC-116-02-F-D-A grips mating square pins from 2 opposing sides, maintaining consistent contact force across all 32 positions. This reduces the risk of intermittent connections in stacked board assemblies subject to vibration or thermal expansion, compared to single-beam socket contacts used in lower-cost alternatives.
What role does the peg board mounting feature of TFC-116-02-F-D-A play in PCB assembly?
The peg mounting option on TFC-116-02-F-D-A provides mechanical registration pegs that align the connector body with precision-drilled PCB holes. This ensures accurate 0.050 inch pitch contact alignment during solder reflow, preventing the connector from shifting across 32 pins on densely populated stacking boards during high-temperature assembly processing.
When is TFC-116-02-F-D-A preferred over 0.100 inch pitch board stacking connectors in FPGA systems?
TFC-116-02-F-D-A is preferred when routing 32 signals in a stacked board configuration where PCB space is limited. The 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch reduces the required board area by approximately 50% compared to 0.100 inch pitch alternatives, enabling smaller form-factor FPGA daughtercard and COM module designs without sacrificing signal count.
