Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions and rows does the TFC-122-02-L-D-A-K-TR provide, and at what pitch?
The TFC-122-02-L-D-A-K-TR provides 44 positions in a dual-row (2-row) arrangement at a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. This high-density layout supports routing of 44 independent signals through a compact connector footprint, suitable for board-to-board or mezzanine interconnect in embedded computing and industrial applications.
Why does the tape-and-reel packaging on TFC-122-02-L-D-A-K-TR matter for manufacturing engineers?
The TR (tape-and-reel) packaging format allows automated pick-and-place machines to feed 44-pin dual-row 1.27 mm pitch connectors continuously without manual intervention. This reduces placement cycle time, minimizes handling errors, and is essential for high-volume PCB assembly operations where thousands of connectors must be placed accurately in each production run.
How does TFC-122-02-L-D-A-K-TR compare to a non-Tiger Eye 44-pin SAMTEC connector at the same pitch?
The Tiger Eye series, including TFC-122-02-L-D-A-K-TR, is optimized for cost reduction versus standard SAMTEC terminal strips while maintaining gold-plated contacts and the same 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. For applications where moderate mating cycle counts and standard operating environments are acceptable, the Tiger Eye variant provides equivalent signal performance at a lower unit cost than premium alternatives.
What types of systems benefit most from using a 44-position dual-row connector like TFC-122-02-L-D-A-K-TR?
Systems with high signal count requirements in compact form factors benefit most. Examples include FPGA daughter cards and mezzanine modules (which may route 44 or more data lines at 1.27 mm pitch), industrial programmable logic controllers with dense I/O backplanes, and test and measurement instruments where many parallel signals must be distributed across stacked PCB assemblies efficiently.
