What are the key features of TFC-118-02-L-D-A-K-TR?
- 36-position dual-row SMT terminal strip at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch on tape and reel for automated assembly compatibility
- Tiger Eye contact technology enabling reliable wiping action and low insertion force across all 36 positions
- Peg board mounting option (K suffix) for mechanical stability and precise PCB registration during reflow soldering
- Cost-effective Tiger Eye series design for high-volume production with reliable signal integrity and long cycle life
What is TFC-118-02-L-D-A-K-TR used for?
The TFC-118-02-L-D-A-K-TR is designed for high-density board-to-board and mezzanine card interconnect in telecommunications equipment, data acquisition systems, and embedded computing modules. Its 36-position dual-row 0.050" pitch layout enables compact routing of parallel signal buses and mixed-signal channels in space-constrained PCB designs. The tape-and-reel packaging makes it directly compatible with automated SMT assembly lines, supporting efficient high-volume manufacturing in consumer electronics and industrial electronics production.

Frequently Asked Questions
What position count and pitch does the TFC-118-02-L-D-A-K-TR offer, and does it support automated SMT assembly?
The TFC-118-02-L-D-A-K-TR provides 36 positions at a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch in a dual-row SMT layout. The -TR suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging, which is fully compatible with automated pick-and-place SMT assembly machines, making this connector suitable for high-volume production lines where consistent placement accuracy across all 36 positions is required.
What role does the peg board mounting feature play in the TFC-118-02-L-D-A-K-TR during PCB soldering?
The peg board mounting option (K suffix) anchors the TFC-118-02-L-D-A-K-TR mechanically to the PCB through peg holes during the reflow soldering process, preventing connector movement or rotation before solder joints solidify. This is especially important for a 36-position fine-pitch connector at 0.050" pitch, where even slight misalignment during reflow can result in solder bridges or misregistered pads across multiple contacts.
For a 32-bit parallel bus interface on a compact mezzanine card, how does TFC-118-02-L-D-A-K-TR compare to alternatives with a larger pitch?
With 36 positions at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, TFC-118-02-L-D-A-K-TR can accommodate a 32-bit data bus plus 4 additional signals (power, ground, or control lines) in approximately 1.1 inches of body length. A standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch connector for the same 36 positions would require over 2.2 inches in a single row, making the TFC-118-02-L-D-A-K-TR the preferred choice where mezzanine card PCB length must be minimized.
