Key Features
- 34-position dual-row layout at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch for high-density PCB signal routing
- Gold-plated mating contacts on phosphor bronze ensure low contact resistance and extended mating cycle reliability
- Tiger Eye cost-effective design provides a balance of performance and economy for volume PCB interconnect projects
- Dual-row configuration maximizes signal count per unit board length for space-constrained designs
Applications
The TFC-117-02-L-D-A-K serves high-density signal interconnect needs in embedded computing, industrial automation, and test and measurement systems. Its 34-position dual-row 0.050" pitch design allows a large number of signals to be routed through a compact connector footprint. This makes it a practical choice for mezzanine board stacking or daughter-card interfaces where space and cost are both constrained.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many pins does the TFC-117-02-L-D-A-K carry and at what pitch?
The TFC-117-02-L-D-A-K provides 34 positions arranged in 2 rows at a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. This dual-row layout enables a high signal density in a compact PCB footprint, making it ideal for mezzanine or daughter-card connections in embedded computing and industrial control systems.
How does the Tiger Eye cost-effective design affect performance compared to premium SAMTEC connectors?
The Tiger Eye series trades some premium features (such as heavier gold plating or higher rated mating cycles) for a lower unit cost, while still providing gold-plated mating contacts for reliable, low-resistance connections across hundreds of mating cycles. For 34-pin dual-row 1.27 mm pitch applications where extreme cycle life is not required, TFC-117-02-L-D-A-K delivers sufficient performance at a cost-optimized price point.
Can the TFC-117-02-L-D-A-K be used for mezzanine board stacking, and what connector types does it mate with?
Yes, the TFC-117-02-L-D-A-K is designed for board-to-board and mezzanine stacking applications. It mates with compatible SAMTEC socket strip or receptacle connectors at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch and 34-position dual-row configuration. This combination supports signal routing between stacked PCBs in embedded computing, instrumentation, and industrial control enclosures.
For a procurement team: what packaging format is available for TFC-117-02-L-D-A-K and how does it affect ordering?
The TFC-117-02-L-D-A-K is available in standard tube or tray packaging depending on volume and regional distribution. For high-volume automated assembly requiring tape-and-reel format with 34-pin dual-row 1.27 mm pitch connectors, buyers should confirm reel availability (TR suffix variants) with SAMTEC distributors. Standard packaging suits prototyping and low-to-mid volume production.
