Key Features
- 32-position dual-row configuration at 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch for high-density board-to-board signal routing
- Tiger Eye contact design with 15µin gold mating finish on phosphor bronze for low contact resistance and long mating cycles
- Cost-effective terminal strip format compatible with standard 0.050" pitch mating connectors across multiple PCB stacking heights
Applications
The TFC-116-02-L-D-A is well suited for high-density board-to-board interconnects in computing modules, FPGA daughter cards, and RF signal routing assemblies where 0.050" pitch connectors minimize footprint. Its 32-position dual-row layout supports 32 single-ended or 16 differential signal channels, making it a versatile choice for data acquisition, memory interface boards, and backplane systems. The gold-plated contacts ensure reliable low-resistance connections through thousands of mating cycles in test fixtures and modular electronic assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 0.050" pitch of the TFC-116-02-L-D-A compare to standard 0.100" pitch connectors for density-sensitive designs?
The TFC-116-02-L-D-A uses a 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch, which is half that of a standard 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch connector. This allows 32 positions to occupy roughly the same board footprint as a 16-position 0.100" strip, doubling signal density per unit length and enabling compact FPGA daughter card, computing module, and backplane designs where PCB real estate is limited.
What contact finish does the TFC-116-02-L-D-A use and how does it affect long-term reliability?
The TFC-116-02-L-D-A features 15µin (microinch) gold plating on phosphor bronze mating contacts and matte tin on the termination side. The 15µin gold finish provides low and stable contact resistance across thousands of mating cycles, prevents oxidation corrosion, and meets MIL-spec contact reliability requirements for demanding computing and industrial interconnect applications.
Which SAMTEC mating connector series is compatible with the TFC-116-02-L-D-A for board stacking applications?
The TFC-116-02-L-D-A mates with SAMTEC's TFM and TFW series female connectors at 0.050" pitch, supporting board stacking heights from approximately 4mm to over 20mm depending on the selected mating part. This modular flexibility allows engineers to configure stack heights for different enclosure depths while maintaining 32-pin, dual-row signal integrity across FPGA evaluation kits, processor modules, and RF signal boards.
