Key Features
- 38-position dual-row terminal strip at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch for high-density board interconnects in a compact footprint
- Phosphor bronze contacts with 15 micro-inch gold mating finish ensure reliable signal connection and resist fretting corrosion
- Matte tin termination on tails is compatible with standard lead-free PCB solder processes
- Cost-effective Tiger Eye design reduces connector BOM cost while maintaining SAMTEC quality and dimensional accuracy
Applications
The TFC-119-02-L-D-A is used in board-to-board and board-to-mezzanine interconnect applications for embedded computing, telecom line cards, and industrial data acquisition modules. Its 38-position dual-row layout at 0.050" pitch allows 38 signal lines to be routed between boards in a 1.075" body length footprint. Consumer electronics engineers and instrumentation designers choose it when a cost-optimized high-density male terminal strip with gold-plated mating contacts is required.

Frequently Asked Questions
What contact material and mating finish does the TFC-119-02-L-D-A use for signal reliability?
The TFC-119-02-L-D-A uses phosphor bronze as the contact material, which provides good spring compliance and mechanical durability across repeated insertions. The mating surface is finished with 15 micro-inch (0.38 µm) gold plating, which resists oxidation and ensures stable, low-resistance electrical contact even after hundreds of mating cycles. The termination tails use matte tin for compatibility with standard lead-free PCB soldering processes.
What are the body dimensions of the TFC-119-02-L-D-A and how do they impact PCB layout?
The TFC-119-02-L-D-A body measures 1.075 inches (27.3 mm) in length, 0.225 inches (5.7 mm) in breadth, and 0.226 inches (5.7 mm) in depth. For a 38-position dual-row connector at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, this footprint is very compact, allowing designers to route 38 signal contacts in well under 30 mm of board length, which is critical in space-constrained PCB layouts for embedded and communication equipment.
When should a designer choose TFC-119-02-L-D-A over a higher-cost SAMTEC terminal strip?
The TFC-119-02-L-D-A is the right choice when the design requires a 38-position 0.050" pitch dual-row connector but does not need flash gold plating beyond 15 micro-inch or more than a standard mating cycle rating. Its Tiger Eye cost-effective series positioning makes it suitable for telecom, consumer, and industrial applications where BOM cost reduction is important and the connector faces fewer than 200 mating cycles during its service life, without sacrificing SAMTEC's baseline quality standards.
