What are the key features of TFC-119-02-FM-D-A?
- 38-position dual-row configuration on 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch provides 76 contacts in a compact mid-density mezzanine footprint
- Flat-mount (FM) surface-mount termination supports reflow soldering in standard SMT production without through-hole drilling
- Tiger Eye cost-effective design balances contact reliability and BOM cost for low-to-medium-frequency board-stacking signal interfaces
What is TFC-119-02-FM-D-A used for?
The TFC-119-02-FM-D-A is designed for mid-density board-stacking and mezzanine interconnect in embedded modules, industrial sensor interfaces, and communication sub-cards where 38 positions offer the right balance between pin count and connector footprint. Its flat-mount surface-mount termination allows integration into automated reflow soldering lines without manual assembly steps. The Tiger Eye series makes this connector a practical choice for cost-sensitive volume designs where signal frequencies stay below 500 MHz and high-speed impedance-controlled connectors are not required.

Frequently Asked Questions
What board footprint does the TFC-119-02-FM-D-A occupy, and how does its 38-position count fit typical embedded module pinouts?
The TFC-119-02-FM-D-A spans approximately 0.95 inches (24mm) along the row axis with a dual-row 0.050-inch (1.27mm) pitch, providing 76 total contacts. For embedded modules, 76 contacts can accommodate 32 data lines, 8 address lines, 4 control signals, and multiple power and ground returns—a pinout footprint common in compact co-processor modules, CAN gateway cards, and small FPGA breakout boards requiring a single mid-size mezzanine connector.
Does the flat-mount (FM) variant of TFC-119-02-FM-D-A differ from long-mating (LM) variants in mating compatibility?
Both the flat-mount (FM) and long-mating (LM) TFC-119 variants share the same 38-position dual-row 0.050-inch footprint and mate with compatible Samtec SSW or SFM-119 socket strips. The difference is contact tail geometry: FM provides a lower solder tail for a shorter stack height, while LM extends pin length for a deeper socket engagement depth of approximately 0.10 to 0.15 inches more. Designers choose FM when minimizing board-to-board height and LM when vibration resistance is the priority.
For a CAN-bus or RS-485 interface card needing fewer than 50 I/O lines, why choose TFC-119-02-FM-D-A over a larger connector?
The 38-position TFC-119-02-FM-D-A avoids wasting board space and paying for unused contacts when the interface only requires 20 to 40 signal lines. A CAN-bus interface card, for example, may need 2 differential CAN pairs, 4 power rails, 8 GPIO lines, and ground—well under 40 contacts—making the TFC-119 more cost-efficient and spatially compact than a 64-position TFC-132. The 0.050-inch pitch also means the TFC-119 body is under 1 inch long, fitting on daughtercards as small as 30mm × 40mm.
