Frequently Asked Questions
What pitch and row count does the TFC-119-02-L-D-A-K-TR use, and how does that affect board density?
The TFC-119-02-L-D-A-K-TR uses a 0.050-inch (1.27 mm) pitch with 2 rows across 38 positions, enabling 38 signals in roughly half the PCB footprint of an equivalent 0.100-inch pitch connector. This fine pitch is particularly valuable in compact embedded systems, FPGA add-in cards, and high-density I/O panels where board real estate is limited.
What does the Tiger Eye contact technology in TFC-119-02-L-D-A-K-TR mean for mating reliability?
SAMTEC Tiger Eye contacts use a dual-beam wiping action that maintains reliable electrical contact even under vibration or slight misalignment. This design achieves consistently low contact resistance across all 38 positions and supports numerous mating cycles, making the TFC-119-02-L-D-A-K-TR suitable for test sockets, backplane connections, and field-replaceable daughter-card assemblies.
How does the TR (tape-and-reel) packaging option benefit manufacturing for TFC-119-02-L-D-A-K-TR?
The -TR suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging, which allows the TFC-119-02-L-D-A-K-TR to be fed directly into standard SMT pick-and-place machines. This eliminates manual placement for the 38-position connector, reduces assembly cycle time, and improves placement accuracy in high-volume PCB production runs with component counts exceeding 1000 units per batch.
When is TFC-119-02-L-D-A-K-TR a better choice than a 0.100-inch pitch alternative for an FPGA interface board?
For FPGA interface boards requiring 38 or more signals on a compact mezzanine footprint, the TFC-119-02-L-D-A-K-TR at 0.050-inch pitch saves approximately 50% of connector length compared to a 0.100-inch alternative, while the dual-row layout keeps the overall connector width below 5 mm. The cost-effective Tiger Eye design delivers this density advantage at a lower price point than high-end fine-pitch alternatives.
