Frequently Asked Questions
What is the pin count and row configuration of the TFC-119-02-L-D-A-K terminal strip?
The TFC-119-02-L-D-A-K has 38 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration with 19 pins per row at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch. This high-density arrangement allows a large number of signal connections within a relatively small PCB footprint, making it suitable for compact board connector applications.
Why is the TFC-119-02-L-D-A-K described as a cost-effective connector and what are the trade-offs compared to premium alternatives?
The Tiger Eye cost-effective design reduces manufacturing complexity compared to premium contact designs, lowering per-unit cost while maintaining reliable connectivity across 38 positions. This makes the TFC-119-02-L-D-A-K ideal for high-volume commercial production where budget efficiency is critical and connector mating cycles are within standard commercial specifications of approximately 30 cycles.
Can the TFC-119-02-L-D-A-K be used in industrial control or embedded computing designs?
Yes, the TFC-119-02-L-D-A-K is suitable for industrial control boards and embedded computing modules needing compact multi-pin connectivity at 1.27 mm pitch. Its 38-position dual-row layout supports simultaneous routing of power and signal lines, and the keying feature prevents incorrect mating in field-installed or multi-connector PCB assemblies.
How does the 0.050 inch pitch of the TFC-119-02-L-D-A-K compare to standard board connector pitches?
The 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch on the TFC-119-02-L-D-A-K is a widely used standard for high-density board connectors, offering approximately 2x more positions per unit length compared to 2.54 mm pitch connectors. This enables 38 positions in a compact body length, supporting dense PCB layouts in space-constrained electronic systems.
