Frequently Asked Questions
What is the total pin count and pitch of the TFC-118-02-F-D-A-K terminal strip?
The TFC-118-02-F-D-A-K provides 36 total positions in a dual-row arrangement with a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. This compact 1.27 mm pitch dual-row configuration supports high-density signal routing in embedded computing and industrial electronics applications where board space is at a premium.
For a high-cycle application in test equipment, how reliable is the TFC-118-02-F-D-A-K contact interface?
The TFC-118-02-F-D-A-K features Tiger Eye dual-beam contacts rated for 500 or more mating cycles, maintaining contact resistance below 20 milliohms throughout their service life. This makes them suitable for test fixtures and instrumentation where connectors are mated and unmated frequently without sacrificing signal integrity.
Can the TFC-118-02-F-D-A-K be assembled using standard SMT reflow soldering equipment?
Yes, the TFC-118-02-F-D-A-K is designed for surface mount assembly and is compatible with standard reflow soldering at peak temperatures up to 260°C. The SMT format supports automated pick-and-place equipment, enabling efficient high-volume production for telecommunications, industrial control, and medical device PCB assemblies.
How does the 36-position TFC-118-02-F-D-A-K compare to similar SAMTEC TFC connectors with higher pin counts?
The TFC-118-02-F-D-A-K with 36 positions occupies a smaller PCB footprint compared to 72-position TFC-136 or 84-position variants, while sharing the same 0.050" pitch and Tiger Eye contact design. Engineers choose the 36-position version for applications needing fewer than 40 signal channels, reducing connector cost and board area in compact embedded systems.
