Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the TFC-119-02-FM-D-A-K offer, and what pitch does it use?
The TFC-119-02-FM-D-A-K provides 38 total positions arranged in 2 rows on a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. This mid-density dual-row format supports 38 independent signal paths, offering a balance between high pin count and compact PCB footprint suitable for sensor interfaces and small embedded computing boards.
What does the FM designation indicate about the TFC-119-02-FM-D-A-K contact construction?
The FM designation stands for female, machined contact construction. Machined contacts offer tighter dimensional tolerances than stamped contacts, resulting in more consistent normal force and lower contact resistance across all 38 positions. This improves signal integrity and mating reliability, particularly in applications requiring repeated mating cycles.
Which applications benefit most from the TFC-119-02-FM-D-A-K's 38-position configuration?
Applications with mid-density interconnect needs such as sensor interface boards, industrial fieldbus daughter cards, and compact embedded modules benefit most from the 38-position configuration. At 0.050" pitch, 38 signals can be routed within a very small PCB area, making this connector ideal for space-constrained designs that still require a substantial number of digital or analog signal lines.
How does the cost-effective Tiger Eye terminal strip compare to premium SAMTEC connectors in terms of sourcing?
The Tiger Eye cost-effective series trades some of the advanced shielding and high-speed signal integrity features of premium SAMTEC board-to-board products for a lower per-unit cost. At 38 positions on a 0.050" pitch, it is well-suited for applications with signal frequencies under a few hundred MHz where price sensitivity matters more than achieving minimum signal skew across all 38 lines.
