Key Features
- 32-position dual-row terminal strip on 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch delivers 64 total contacts in a compact SMT footprint
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables high-speed automated pick-and-place assembly with minimal handling overhead
- Tiger Eye bifurcated contact design maintains low contact resistance across hundreds of mating cycles with standard 0.025 inch square posts
Applications
The TFC-116-02-FM-D-A-K-TR is suited for high-volume automated assembly of embedded processor boards, FPGA evaluation modules, and industrial I/O expansion cards requiring a 0.050 inch pitch 32-position dual-row terminal strip. The tape-and-reel packaging format integrates directly with SMT pick-and-place lines, reducing changeover time and waste compared to tube-packaged alternatives. Tiger Eye contacts ensure reliable mating with 0.025 inch square-pin headers across the full thermal and vibration range of industrial environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many total contacts does the TFC-116-02-FM-D-A-K-TR provide and at what pitch?
The TFC-116-02-FM-D-A-K-TR is a 32-position dual-row terminal strip on a 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch, providing 64 total contact positions. This high-density layout allows a large number of signal and power connections within a compact PCB area compared to single-row or wider-pitch alternatives commonly used in board-to-board mezzanine designs.
Why is the tape-and-reel suffix (TR) important for selecting the TFC-116-02-FM-D-A-K-TR in production builds?
The TR designation confirms the TFC-116-02-FM-D-A-K-TR ships on a standard tape-and-reel carrier compatible with automated SMT pick-and-place machines. For production volumes above a few hundred units, reel packaging reduces per-cycle handling time to under 1 second per component placement versus manual tube feeding, improving throughput and reducing the risk of placement errors or ESD damage from manual contact.
Can the TFC-116-02-FM-D-A-K-TR mate with standard square-pin headers, and what post size is required?
Yes, the Tiger Eye contacts in the TFC-116-02-FM-D-A-K-TR are designed to mate with 0.025 inch (0.635 mm) square posts, the most widely used header post size in 0.050 inch pitch connector families. This compatibility means the terminal strip can pair with a broad range of SAMTEC and third-party square-post headers without requiring a custom mating connector, simplifying sourcing across the 64-contact interface.
