Key Features
- 48-position dual-row configuration at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch for ultra-high-density cable connections
- Tiger Eye contact design provides a wiping action that maintains low contact resistance over repeated mating cycles
- Cost-effective terminal strip construction reduces BOM cost without sacrificing reliable 48-pin connectivity
Applications
The TFC-124-02-F-D-A is designed for data acquisition systems, automated test equipment, and high-density board-to-cable interfaces in instrumentation where 48-pin connections at 0.050" pitch are required in minimal PCB real estate. Its Tiger Eye contact geometry ensures reliable signal transfer in vibration-prone environments such as industrial test fixtures and embedded computing backplanes. The connector is also used in FPGA development boards and multi-channel analog front ends needing compact wiring harness connections.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions and what pitch does TFC-124-02-F-D-A provide for high-density wiring?
The TFC-124-02-F-D-A offers 48 positions in a dual-row layout at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, providing twice the connection density of standard 0.100" connectors. This makes it suitable for multi-channel analog or digital signals on compact data acquisition and instrumentation PCBs.
What is the Tiger Eye contact design in TFC-124-02-F-D-A and how does it improve reliability?
The Tiger Eye contact uses a distinctive wiping geometry that scrubs the mating surface during insertion, displacing oxides and debris from 48 contacts simultaneously. This results in consistent low contact resistance below 20 milliohms over hundreds of mating cycles in test fixture applications.
Which automated test equipment applications benefit from TFC-124-02-F-D-A over wider-pitch alternatives?
Automated test equipment (ATE) probe cards, FPGA interface boards, and multi-channel sensor front ends benefit most, because TFC-124-02-F-D-A's 0.050" pitch allows 48 signals in the same board area that a 0.100" connector would use for only 24, halving the PCB footprint and cable harness diameter.
Is TFC-124-02-F-D-A cost-competitive compared to higher-specification SAMTEC terminal strips with the same pitch?
Yes, SAMTEC markets the TFC series as a cost-effective tier, meaning TFC-124-02-F-D-A is priced below premium Tiger Eye variants that include shielding or higher current ratings above 1 A per pin. Designers who need 48-pin, 0.050" connectivity without high-current or shielding requirements will find the TFC series the lower total cost option.
