What are the key features of TFC-122-02-FM-D-A?
- 44-position dual-row Tiger Eye female socket (FM) at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch delivering 44-channel connectivity in a compact PCB footprint
- Cost-effective Tiger Eye design providing reliable board-to-board interconnection for production volumes without premium connector pricing
- Dual-row configuration doubling contact density versus single-row alternatives in the same connector body length for space-constrained boards
- Standard 0.050 inch pitch compatible with SAMTEC TFC-series mating header pins for modular daughter card and expansion board architectures
What is TFC-122-02-FM-D-A used for?
The TFC-122-02-FM-D-A is suitable for daughter card, mezzanine, and expansion board interfaces in embedded computing, industrial automation, and telecom equipment requiring 44-pin dual-row socket connections. Its cost-effective Tiger Eye design makes it practical for mid-to-high volume production of industrial controllers, data acquisition systems, and network equipment daughterboards at 0.050 inch pitch. The female socket variant mates with corresponding TFC male header pins to complete reliable board-to-board signal and power channel assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the FM suffix on TFC-122-02-FM-D-A indicate about the connector interface?
The FM suffix on TFC-122-02-FM-D-A designates a female socket (FM) mating interface, meaning this 44-position dual-row Tiger Eye connector accepts male pin headers from the complementary SAMTEC TFC series. The female socket at 0.050 inch pitch accepts straight or right-angle male contacts for secure board-to-board engagement across all 44 positions in embedded computing and industrial expansion board designs.
How does TFC-122-02-FM-D-A perform in a high channel-count industrial I/O board design?
TFC-122-02-FM-D-A provides 44 independent signal or power channels in a dual-row 0.050 inch pitch socket, making it highly efficient for industrial I/O boards that need to route digital signals, analog inputs, control lines, and power rails through a single compact connector. The dual-row layout at 1.27 mm pitch accommodates 44 connections in roughly the board space that a single-row 22-position connector would occupy, significantly reducing PCB footprint for controllers, PLCs, and data acquisition modules.
What assembly process is compatible with the TFC-122-02-FM-D-A and how does it affect PCB manufacturing?
TFC-122-02-FM-D-A is designed for standard through-hole or SMT assembly depending on the specific variant configuration, compatible with automated pick-and-place equipment and wave or reflow soldering. Its 44-position dual-row 0.050 inch pitch layout integrates into standard PCB manufacturing workflows for industrial board production, and the compact footprint reduces the number of separate connector placements needed to achieve 44-channel interconnection versus using multiple smaller connectors.
Which cost-conscious design scenarios make TFC-122-02-FM-D-A the preferred SAMTEC choice over premium-series alternatives?
TFC-122-02-FM-D-A is preferred when a design requires reliable 44-pin dual-row 0.050 inch pitch connectivity for moderate mating cycle counts, typically under 500 insertions, and cost optimization is a priority for mid-to-high volume production. The Tiger Eye series delivers reliable contact performance for embedded computing daughterboards, industrial I/O expansion modules, and test fixture interfaces without the added cost of heavier gold plating or precision-machined contacts found in SAMTEC's premium ERF or SSW series.
