What are the key features of TFC-120-02-FM-D-A?
- 40-position double-row layout at 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch maximizes signal density in compact PCB designs
- Tiger Eye contact geometry delivers consistent low contact resistance and high insertion-cycle durability
- Female mating contact configuration provides secure socket interface for corresponding male pin headers
- Cost-effective terminal strip design reduces BOM cost without sacrificing reliable board-to-board interconnect performance
What is TFC-120-02-FM-D-A used for?
The TFC-120-02-FM-D-A is used in high-density board-to-board interconnect applications such as FPGA daughter cards, backplane assemblies, and modular test equipment. Its 40-position 1.27 mm pitch layout enables 40 independent signal or power channels within a narrow strip footprint, making it ideal for space-constrained embedded computing designs. The Tiger Eye contact mechanism ensures reliable mating in applications subject to repeated insertion cycles or light mechanical vibration.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions and what pitch does the TFC-120-02-FM-D-A offer?
The TFC-120-02-FM-D-A provides 40 positions arranged in a double-row configuration at a 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch. This fine pitch spacing allows designers to route 40 signal or power connections through a compact strip measuring approximately 25.4 mm in length, which is common in high-density FPGA and embedded computing interconnect designs.
What connector series is TFC-120-02-FM-D-A part of and how does it compare to the SFM series?
The TFC-120-02-FM-D-A belongs to Samtec's TFC Tiger Eye terminal strip family, which targets cost-sensitive applications that still require reliable 1.27 mm pitch connectivity. Compared to the SFM board-to-board socket series, the TFC is optimized for lower-profile terminal-strip applications where a 2.54 mm pitch is too coarse and where individual contact current up to approximately 1 A per pin is sufficient.
In which embedded or industrial applications is the TFC-120-02-FM-D-A typically used?
The TFC-120-02-FM-D-A is commonly used in FPGA daughter-card interfaces, DSP evaluation modules, and industrial I/O backplanes where 40 signals must be routed in a 1.27 mm pitch strip. The Tiger Eye contact design sustains low contact resistance over 500 or more mating cycles, making it well-suited for field-replaceable modules and lab test fixtures requiring repeated card insertions.
Does the TFC-120-02-FM-D-A support automated SMT assembly and what is the typical lead time?
Yes, the TFC-120-02-FM-D-A is designed for surface-mount PCB assembly compatible with standard SMT pick-and-place equipment. Samtec typically ships TFC series connectors within 1 week from its factory stock, and the -A suffix variant ships in tray packaging suitable for automated feeder systems used in high-volume SMT production lines.
