Key Features
- 34-position dual-row terminal strip at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch supplied in tape-and-reel (TR) format for automated high-volume SMT pick-and-place assembly
- Gold (3 µin) mating contact finish over nickel barrier ensuring low contact resistance and reliable signal integrity across 500+ mating cycles
- Tiger Eye dual-beam contact geometry providing consistent wiping action and contact resistance below 20 milliohms for high-reliability board interconnects
Applications
The TFC-117-02-F-D-A-K-TR is suited for high-volume automated PCB assembly applications in telecommunications, industrial automation, and embedded computing where tape-and-reel packaging enables efficient pick-and-place processing. Its 34-position dual-row 0.050" pitch footprint delivers high-density signal routing for plug-in daughter cards and mezzanine module connectors in space-constrained enclosures. The gold-over-nickel mating contact finish ensures long-term signal reliability in environments with vibration or thermal cycling common to industrial and defense electronics.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the TR suffix on TFC-117-02-F-D-A-K-TR matter for manufacturing engineers ordering for high-volume production?
The TR suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging, which feeds the 34-position dual-row connectors directly into automated pick-and-place equipment without manual loading. This enables continuous uninterrupted SMT assembly runs at speeds matching other reeled components on the line, reducing per-unit assembly time and handling errors in high-volume PCB production for telecommunications and industrial electronics.
What contact plating does the TFC-117-02-F-D-A-K-TR use on its mating interface versus its termination tails?
The TFC-117-02-F-D-A-K-TR uses gold plating (3 µin minimum) over a nickel barrier on the mating contact surfaces, providing low contact resistance below 20 milliohms and corrosion resistance over 500+ mating cycles. The termination tails use tin-over-nickel plating, which is optimized for solderability during reflow soldering at temperatures up to 260°C peak.
For a compact daughter card connector, how much PCB space does the TFC-117-02-F-D-A-K-TR body occupy?
The TFC-117-02-F-D-A-K-TR has a body length of 0.975 inch (approximately 24.8 mm), body breadth of 0.225 inch (5.7 mm), and body depth of 0.226 inch (5.7 mm). These dimensions provide a known footprint for 34-position dual-row 0.050" pitch connector placement on compact PCBs used in embedded computing modules and industrial plug-in cards.
How does the TFC-117-02-F-D-A-K-TR compare to the non-TR variant TFC-117-02-F-D-A-K for low-volume prototype builds?
The TFC-117-02-F-D-A-K-TR comes in tape-and-reel packaging optimized for automated SMT production lines handling thousands of units, while the non-TR TFC-117-02-F-D-A-K is typically offered in cut-tape or loose form better suited for prototype and low-volume assembly. Both share the same 34-position dual-row 0.050" pitch footprint, gold-over-nickel contact finish, and Tiger Eye contact geometry, so they are electrically and mechanically interchangeable on the PCB.
