Frequently Asked Questions
What is the pin count and row arrangement of the SAMTEC TFC-116-02-LM-D-A-K?
The TFC-116-02-LM-D-A-K provides 32 contact positions in 2 rows at 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch, with 16 contacts per row. This dual-row right-angle arrangement fits a 32-bit parallel bus or equivalent multi-channel interface into a compact PCB edge footprint spanning approximately 20mm in length.
For a 32-bit microcontroller data bus interface, how does the TFC-116-02-LM-D-A-K compare to a 0.100" pitch alternative?
The TFC-116-02-LM-D-A-K at 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch carries 32 signals in roughly half the PCB footprint length of a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch connector with the same count. For a 32-bit bus, this means a footprint of about 20mm versus 40mm, freeing significant PCB area for other circuitry in embedded microcontroller designs.
In which field-serviceable or modular systems is the TFC-116-02-LM-D-A-K commonly used?
The TFC-116-02-LM-D-A-K is used in modular field instruments, handheld data loggers, and industrial sensor nodes where 32-conductor flat flexible cables must be disconnected for module replacement or calibration. Its Tiger Eye contacts maintain reliable low resistance after multiple insertion cycles, making it dependable for field maintenance procedures in remote or harsh environments.
What flat cable types and suppliers are compatible with the TFC-116-02-LM-D-A-K?
The TFC-116-02-LM-D-A-K mates with 1.27mm pitch 32-conductor flat flexible cables (FFC) and flat printed cables (FPC), which are stocked by distributors such as Digi-Key and Mouser from manufacturers including Molex, Amphenol, and TE Connectivity. Standard 32-conductor 1.27mm pitch FFC assemblies are available in various lengths, simplifying cable selection for prototype and production designs.
