What are the key features of TFC-120-02-FM-D-A-K-TR?
- 40-position dual-row Tiger Eye contact design on 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch for ultra-dense board-to-board interconnects
- Cost-effective terminal strip alternative to premium mezzanine connectors without sacrificing contact reliability
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables high-volume automated SMT pick-and-place assembly
- Anti-solder-wicking contact design (A suffix) protects mating zone from flux contamination during reflow soldering
What is TFC-120-02-FM-D-A-K-TR used for?
The TFC-120-02-FM-D-A-K-TR is suited for cost-sensitive consumer electronics, embedded computing modules, and compact instrumentation requiring 40-pin dual-row board-to-board connectivity on a 0.050 inch pitch. The Tiger Eye contact geometry provides consistent normal force across 20 pins per row, making it effective for removable daughter cards and mezzanine add-in boards. Its tape-and-reel packaging format is optimized for high-volume SMT production lines where per-unit connector cost and placement accuracy are critical.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many signal pins does the TFC-120-02-FM-D-A-K-TR provide, and what pitch does it use?
The TFC-120-02-FM-D-A-K-TR features 40 total positions arranged as 20 pins per row in a dual-row configuration on a 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch. This allows designers to route up to 40 independent signals or power lines through a single compact footprint, which measures approximately 1.0 inch (25.4 mm) in row length, enabling dense interconnect in space-constrained PCB designs.
What makes the Tiger Eye contact geometry in this connector cost-effective for high-volume production?
SAMTEC's Tiger Eye contact uses a single-piece stamped design that maintains a consistent normal force of approximately 100 grams per contact without requiring a separate spring element, reducing material and tooling costs compared to multi-piece alternatives. This construction keeps per-unit connector price competitive while still delivering reliable 20-milliohm-class contact resistance across 40 positions, making the TFC series attractive for consumer and industrial products built in quantities of thousands of units per month.
Does the tape-and-reel format of TFC-120-02-FM-D-A-K-TR support standard SMT assembly equipment and what reel size is used?
Yes, the TR (tape-and-reel) suffix confirms compatibility with standard 8 mm or 12 mm carrier tape used by common SMT pick-and-place machines such as Fuji, Juki, and Yamaha platforms. The connectors are typically supplied on 7-inch (178 mm) reels with a standardized embossed carrier pocket, meeting EIA-481 requirements for 0.050 inch pitch SMT components and enabling placement rates above 5000 components per hour on modern assembly equipment.
