Frequently Asked Questions
What pitch and position count does the TFC-117-02-FM-D offer for board stacking?
The TFC-117-02-FM-D provides 34 positions arranged in a dual-row layout on a 0.050-inch (1.27mm) pitch. This combination allows 17 contacts per row, supporting dense signal routing between stacked PCBs while keeping the overall connector footprint compact for space-constrained embedded designs.
How durable is the gold flash contact finish on TFC-117-02-FM-D mating interfaces?
The gold flash (3 micro-inch minimum) mating finish on phosphor bronze contacts provides consistent low contact resistance, typically under 20 milliohms, through repeated insertions. This finish is suitable for moderate mating cycles in board stacking applications, offering corrosion resistance that preserves signal integrity in industrial environments.
For which PCB assembly configurations is TFC-117-02-FM-D most appropriate?
TFC-117-02-FM-D fits board-to-board mezzanine stacking configurations where 34 signals need to pass between a base board and a daughter card at 0.050-inch pitch. Typical uses include FPGA daughter cards, memory expansion modules, and multi-layer embedded modules where a total stack height under 10mm is required.
Does TFC-117-02-FM-D comply with RoHS and lead-free assembly requirements?
Yes, TFC-117-02-FM-D carries JESD-609 Code e3, indicating lead-free construction compliant with RoHS directive restrictions on hazardous substances. The tin-over-nickel termination finish is compatible with standard SAC305 lead-free solder paste and reflow processes used in modern electronics manufacturing.
