Key Features
- 34-position dual-row female terminal strip on 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch enables dense 34-circuit board-to-board interconnects
- Tiger Eye cost-effective design provides SAMTEC-grade contact reliability at a lower per-unit price point
- Tape-and-reel (-TR) SMT packaging supports high-volume automated pick-and-place assembly processes
Applications
The TFC-117-02-FM-D-A-K-TR is used in embedded computing modules, FPGA mezzanine cards, and compact wireless communication boards where 34-circuit fine-pitch female connectors must mate reliably with corresponding male headers. Its 0.050" pitch receptacle reduces the connector footprint by half compared to .100" alternatives, enabling more routing channels and denser component placement on space-limited PCBs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pitch and contact gender does the TFC-117-02-FM-D-A-K-TR use, and how many circuits does it accommodate?
The TFC-117-02-FM-D-A-K-TR provides 34 positions of female (receptacle) contacts arranged in a dual-row configuration on a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. This fine pitch delivers 34 signal or power circuits in a connector footprint approximately half the length of a comparable .100" pitch part, which is critical for compact module interfaces in embedded and communications hardware.
How does the tape-and-reel packaging of the TFC-117-02-FM-D-A-K-TR reduce assembly cost at production scale?
Tape-and-reel packaging, indicated by the -TR suffix, allows the TFC-117-02-FM-D-A-K-TR to be loaded directly into SMT pick-and-place machines without manual handling. At production volumes of 500 or more boards, this eliminates per-placement operator time, reduces placement errors, and lowers cost per assembled unit compared to bulk or tray-packaged connectors requiring hand placement.
When is the TFC-117-02-FM-D-A-K-TR a better fit than a standard 34-pin .100" pitch receptacle?
The TFC-117-02-FM-D-A-K-TR is preferred over a .100" pitch receptacle when PCB space is limited and a 34-circuit interface must fit within a body length of under 1 inch, compared with approximately 1.7 inches for the .100" equivalent. Applications such as SoM carrier boards, mini PCIe-style modules, and wearable sensor nodes frequently require this space saving to achieve product form factor targets.
