What are the key features of TFC-117-02-FM-D-A?
- 34-position dual-row terminal strip on 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch offering high signal density in a minimal PCB footprint for space-constrained designs
- Tiger Eye contact technology delivers consistent normal force for reliable low-resistance mating across thousands of insertion-extraction cycles
- Cost-effective female (FM) socket design balances performance and economy for medium-to-high volume production in embedded and industrial applications
What is TFC-117-02-FM-D-A used for?
The TFC-117-02-FM-D-A serves as a reliable wire-to-board termination solution in embedded computing modules, data acquisition systems, and industrial automation controllers requiring 34 signals on a 0.050 inch pitch. Its dual-row female configuration mates with standard 0.050 inch pitch pin headers, enabling modular daughtercard or cable harness connections in compact enclosures. The cost-effective Tiger Eye design makes it suitable for production designs where both high signal density and budget efficiency are priorities.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pitch and configuration does the TFC-117-02-FM-D-A use, and how does it compare to 0.100 inch pitch alternatives?
The TFC-117-02-FM-D-A uses a 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch dual-row female configuration with 34 positions (17 per row). Compared to a 0.100 inch pitch connector with the same 34-pin count, this connector occupies roughly half the row length, saving approximately 0.85 inch of PCB space in compact embedded and instrumentation designs.
How does Tiger Eye contact technology in TFC-117-02-FM-D-A enhance long-term connector reliability?
Tiger Eye contacts use a dual-beam design that maintains consistent normal force even after repeated mating cycles, keeping contact resistance stable and typically below 20 mΩ throughout the connector's service life. This is especially important in service environments where cable assemblies are disconnected and reconnected during maintenance of 34-signal wiring harnesses in embedded or industrial systems.
What cable or pin header types are compatible with the TFC-117-02-FM-D-A terminal strip?
The TFC-117-02-FM-D-A female dual-row socket mates with standard 0.050 inch pitch male pin headers and discrete wire assemblies with 34 conductors arranged in dual-row format. Compatible mating connectors include SAMTEC TFC series male headers and standard 0.050 inch pitch square post headers, enabling flexible cable-to-board and board-to-board interconnect configurations.
When is the TFC-117-02-FM-D-A preferred over a higher-cost gold-contact alternative?
The TFC-117-02-FM-D-A cost-effective design is preferred when the application requires fewer than 500 mating cycles and operates at signal levels below 1 A per contact in benign environments at temperatures up to 85°C. For designs not requiring the extended cycle life or corrosion resistance of gold contacts, this connector offers the same 34-pin 0.050 inch pitch form factor at a lower unit cost.
