What are the key features of TFC-121-02-LM-D-A-K-TR?
- 42-position dual-row design on 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch enables dense signal routing across a small PCB footprint
- Tiger Eye contact system provides consistent low-insertion-force mating and long contact cycle life
- Long-machined (LM) contacts improve retention and electrical integrity in vibration-prone environments
- Tape-and-reel (TR) format ensures compatibility with automated high-volume SMT placement equipment
What is TFC-121-02-LM-D-A-K-TR used for?
The TFC-121-02-LM-D-A-K-TR is designed for high-pin-count board-to-board and board-to-flex interconnects in networking switches, FPGA development platforms, and high-speed data-acquisition systems. The 42-position 0.050" pitch allows engineers to route 42 signals across roughly 27 mm, saving significant board space compared to a 0.100" alternative. Automated SMT compatibility makes it a practical choice for high-volume production of communication hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes TFC-121-02-LM-D-A-K-TR a better fit than a 0.100" connector for dense signal routing?
The TFC-121-02-LM-D-A-K-TR uses a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, meaning 42 signals fit in approximately 27 mm of board length, whereas a 0.100" pitch connector would need about 54 mm for the same count — a 50% reduction in connector footprint that frees board space for active components.
How do the long-machined (LM) contacts in TFC-121-02-LM-D-A-K-TR perform in vibration-prone industrial enclosures?
Long-machined contacts provide deeper engagement depth and higher retention force compared to standard stamped contacts, maintaining connection integrity under continuous vibration levels up to 15 G and temperature cycling from -40°C to 85°C typical of industrial and automotive-adjacent applications.
For a compact data-acquisition module design, how many channels can TFC-121-02-LM-D-A-K-TR accommodate?
With 42 positions in a dual-row configuration, TFC-121-02-LM-D-A-K-TR can carry up to 42 independent channels — enough to interface a 32-channel ADC plus ground, power, and control lines — all within a connector footprint of under 28 mm × 4 mm.
