Key Features
- Tape-and-reel (-TR) packaging enables high-volume automated pick-and-place assembly of the 44-position dual-row connector
- 0.050-inch (1.27 mm) pitch Tiger Eye contacts deliver high contact density with low insertion force across all 44 positions
- Cost-effective terminal strip construction reduces BOM cost in volume production while maintaining consistent signal integrity
Applications
The TFC-122-02-FM-D-A-K-TR suits high-volume automated PCB assembly lines for telecommunications modules, embedded computing backplanes, and test instrumentation where 44 signal channels must be interconnected within a compact 0.050-inch pitch footprint. Its tape-and-reel packaging streamlines reel-to-reel pick-and-place processes, reducing manual handling and improving placement accuracy in production environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the -TR suffix on TFC-122-02-FM-D-A-K-TR indicate about packaging?
The -TR suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging, which loads individual 44-position connectors into a continuous carrier tape on a reel for automated pick-and-place assembly. This packaging format is standard for high-volume SMT production lines and reduces manual handling of the 0.050-inch pitch connector.
How many contact positions does TFC-122-02-FM-D-A-K-TR provide, and at what pitch?
The TFC-122-02-FM-D-A-K-TR provides 44 contact positions in a dual-row configuration at a 0.050-inch (1.27 mm) pitch. This layout allows high-density routing of up to 44 signal lines within a footprint approximately 22 positions long per row.
In which system-level designs does the TFC-122-02-FM-D-A-K-TR provide the best signal channel density?
This connector is best suited for backplane interconnects, FPGA daughter cards, and embedded computing modules that need 44 signal channels in a compact dual-row, 1.27 mm pitch footprint. Its low-insertion-force Tiger Eye contacts reduce mating damage risk in designs where boards are frequently inserted or removed.
When would a procurement team prefer TFC-122-02-FM-D-A-K-TR over the non-TR variant?
A procurement team would specify the -TR tape-and-reel variant whenever the PCB production line uses automated pick-and-place equipment, since reel-fed parts lower placement cycle time and reduce per-part handling cost versus tube-packaged connectors, especially when ordering quantities exceed 500 pieces per production run.
