What are the key features of TFC-118-02-FM-D-A-K?
- 36-position dual-row layout on 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch for compact mid-density signal interconnect
- Flush-mount (FM) contact style minimizes mated stack height for height-constrained board assemblies
- Tiger Eye dual-beam contacts provide 2 contact points per pin for reliable low-insertion-force mating
What is TFC-118-02-FM-D-A-K used for?
The TFC-118-02-FM-D-A-K is ideal for mid-density board-to-board and flex-cable signal routing in embedded computing modules, industrial sensor hubs, and portable test instruments where 36 positions must be accommodated in a tight 1.27 mm pitch footprint. The flush-mount contact style keeps the mated connector profile low, supporting slim product enclosures with board clearances under 5 mm.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many signal positions does the TFC-118-02-FM-D-A-K provide, and at what pitch are they arranged?
The TFC-118-02-FM-D-A-K provides 36 positions arranged in 2 rows at a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, delivering 18 signals per row in a compact dual-row footprint. This mid-density configuration handles SPI, I2C, GPIO, and power rails simultaneously without requiring multiple smaller connectors on the PCB.
In which low-profile assembly scenarios does the FM flush-mount contact of TFC-118-02-FM-D-A-K outperform standard-height contact variants?
Flush-mount contacts reduce the mated connector height by several tenths of a millimeter compared to raised-contact versions, which is critical when the mated pair must fit within a board-to-board gap of 3 mm to 5 mm. The TFC-118-02-FM-D-A-K FM contacts are preferred in slim wearable electronics and stacked-module designs where every 0.5 mm of vertical clearance matters.
How does the 36-position TFC-118-02-FM-D-A-K compare to the 18-position TFC-109 series when routing parallel bus interfaces?
The 36-position TFC-118-02-FM-D-A-K doubles the pin count of the 18-position TFC-109 while maintaining the same 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, enabling a full 32-bit parallel bus plus 4 control lines in a single connector. Designs requiring only 8-bit or 16-bit buses can use the 18-position variant and save approximately 12.7 mm of board length.
