Frequently Asked Questions
What pitch and row configuration does the TFC-120-02-F-D-A use?
The TFC-120-02-F-D-A uses a 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch with a dual-row configuration providing 40 total contacts across 20 positions per row, enabling high-density board stacking connections.
How does the Tiger Eye contact system improve mating reliability in the TFC-120-02-F-D-A?
The Tiger Eye system uses a four-point contact design that maintains consistent electrical contact force across all 40 pins, tolerating misalignment up to several thousandths of an inch and supporting hundreds of mating cycles without degradation.
What board stacking height does the TFC-120-02-F-D-A support?
The TFC-120-02-F-D-A is a male board stacking connector with a body length of 2.125 inches and body breadth of 0.225 inch, designed to mate with compatible SAMTEC TFC female receptacles at specified stacking heights from 0.1 inch to over 1 inch depending on the mating part selected.
Is the TFC-120-02-F-D-A RoHS compliant and what is the termination finish?
Yes, the TFC-120-02-F-D-A is fully RoHS compliant and lead-free. The termination contact finish is tin (Sn) with a nickel (Ni) barrier, while the mating contact surface features gold flash over nickel at 50 micro-inch plating depth.
