Frequently Asked Questions
How does the TFC-120-02-F-D-A-K-TR differ from the TFM series in terms of cost and contact finish?
The TFC series is a cost-effective variant of the TFM Tiger Eye family. It uses tin-over-nickel termination rather than gold plating, which reduces per-unit cost while maintaining reliable contact performance for applications with fewer than several hundred mating cycles at moderate current levels up to 1 A per pin.
What board stacking height does the TFC-120-02-F-D-A-K-TR support with its 0.050 inch pitch layout?
With a body depth of 0.226 inch and a 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch across 40 contacts in a dual-row, 1.125 inch body length, the TFC-120-02-F-D-A-K-TR is optimized for low-profile board stacking in applications where the mated height must remain below 10 mm, such as compact computer-on-module and daughterboard assemblies.
For which high-density PCB designs is the 0.050 inch pitch of the TFC-120-02-F-D-A-K-TR a key advantage?
A 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch allows the 40-position TFC connector to occupy roughly half the board footprint of an equivalent 0.100 inch pitch connector. This density advantage is critical in handheld instruments, FPGA mezzanine cards, and small-form-factor computing modules where PCB area is limited to just a few square centimeters per connector zone.
Does the tape-and-reel packaging of the TFC-120-02-F-D-A-K-TR support standard automated SMT assembly?
Yes, the TR suffix confirms EIA-481-compliant tape-and-reel delivery. The peg board mounting option locks the connector in position on the PCB pad prior to reflow, preventing movement during transport through the oven and ensuring 40-position alignment accuracy across high-volume SMT runs.
