Key Features
- 34-position dual-row terminal strip with 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch for mid-density board-to-board signal connections
- Low-profile LM contact style reduces above-board height, enabling tighter PCB-to-PCB stacking clearances
- Kinked (K) through-hole tail mechanically stabilizes 17-positions-per-row connector during PCB soldering
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging supports automated pick-and-place assembly in high-volume production environments
Applications
The TFC-117-02-LM-D-A-K-TR is designed for mid-density board-to-board signal interfaces in embedded system modules, industrial I/O boards, and medical instrumentation requiring 34 positions at 0.050" pitch. Its low-profile contact style minimizes board stack height, which is critical in compact multi-board assemblies. Tape-and-reel packaging enables cost-efficient automated assembly in high-volume manufacturing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What position count and pitch define the TFC-117-02-LM-D-A-K-TR signal interface?
The TFC-117-02-LM-D-A-K-TR is a 34-position dual-row terminal strip with 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, providing 17 positions per row. This mid-density configuration suits embedded system daughterboards and industrial I/O modules that need more than 20 but fewer than 50 signal positions in a compact 0.050" pitch footprint.
How does the low-profile LM contact style on the TFC-117-02-LM-D-A-K-TR benefit stacked board designs?
The LM (low-profile mating) contact on the TFC-117-02-LM-D-A-K-TR reduces the connector height above the PCB surface compared to standard mating height variants. In stacked-board assemblies using this 34-position connector at 0.050" pitch, the reduced stack height allows tighter board-to-board clearance, enabling more compact end-product enclosures.
Why is tape-and-reel (TR) packaging preferred for the TFC-117-02-LM-D-A-K-TR in production?
Tape-and-reel packaging for the TFC-117-02-LM-D-A-K-TR enables pick-and-place machines to accurately place the 34-position connector at 0.050" pitch without manual handling. This reduces placement cycle time, eliminates human positioning error, and is essential for high-volume PCB assembly lines targeting low defect rates for this fine-pitch dual-row connector.
In which application areas is the TFC-117-02-LM-D-A-K-TR a better choice than comparable 50-position connectors?
The TFC-117-02-LM-D-A-K-TR is preferred in embedded modules, medical sensor boards, and industrial I/O cards where the interface requires only 34 signal positions rather than 50, avoiding unnecessary PCB area, cost, and routing complexity. Fewer positions at 0.050" pitch also reduces signal stub length on mid-density interface buses and simplifies PCB trace planning.
