Key Features
- 38-position dual-row 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch layout enables high signal density interconnects in compact PCB designs
- Tiger Eye contact geometry generates elevated normal contact force, ensuring reliable low-resistance mating across hundreds of insertion cycles
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables automated pick-and-place assembly for high-volume manufacturing efficiency
Applications
The TFC-119-02-F-D-A-K-TR is designed for high-volume automated PCB assembly requiring 38 dual-row signal connections at a 1.27 mm pitch, such as in telecommunications cards, server backplanes, and compact industrial controllers. The tape-and-reel format integrates seamlessly into SMT production lines, reducing manual handling and improving placement accuracy. Tiger Eye contacts paired with SAMTEC SFM-series mating sockets provide a matched interconnect system with low contact resistance across the full 38-position interface.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the TR suffix in TFC-119-02-F-D-A-K-TR indicate about packaging?
The TR suffix designates tape-and-reel packaging, meaning the TFC-119-02-F-D-A-K-TR is supplied on reels compatible with automated pick-and-place equipment. This is important for high-volume PCB assembly where manual insertion of 38-position connectors would be impractical. Tape-and-reel packaging also protects contacts during storage and transport, maintaining the Gold-plated contact finish integrity prior to soldering.
For a 38-signal interface in a 1.27 mm pitch dual-row design, how does TFC-119-02-F-D-A-K-TR compare to a 2.00 mm pitch alternative?
At 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, the TFC-119-02-F-D-A-K-TR fits 38 dual-row positions in approximately 0.95 inches of board length, whereas a 2.00 mm pitch connector for the same signal count would require about 1.50 inches. This size reduction of over 35% is significant for compact embedded computing, network cards, and portable instruments operating at signal voltages up to 125 V AC where PCB space is limited.
Which mating connectors are designed to pair with the TFC-119-02-F-D-A-K-TR terminal strip?
The TFC-119-02-F-D-A-K-TR is engineered to mate with SAMTEC SFM and TSM series dual-row socket strips at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. These mating sockets also incorporate Tiger Eye or standard contacts with matching 1.27 mm pitch, providing insertion forces typically below 100 g per pin and maintaining contact resistance under 20 mΩ across up to 500 mating cycles for 38-position configurations in production systems.
