What are the key features of TFC-124-02-F-D-A-K?
- 48-position dual-row strip at 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch enables 48 signal or power channels in a strip approximately 30.5 mm long
- Tiger Eye contact spring design maintains consistent mating force across all 48 positions for reliable low-resistance connections
- Kinked (K) lead termination self-clinches into PCB pads before reflow, eliminating mechanical fixtures during SMT assembly
- Cost-effective TFC series pricing reduces per-pin connector cost on large-channel-count boards without sacrificing 1.27 mm pitch compatibility
What is TFC-124-02-F-D-A-K used for?
The TFC-124-02-F-D-A-K is used in high-channel-count board-to-board interfaces for industrial I/O modules, embedded computing backplanes, and multi-axis motor control systems that require 48 signal connections at 1.27 mm pitch. Its flat lead termination and kinked retention enable co-planar SMT mounting alongside other surface-mount devices, simplifying single-pass reflow assembly. The Tiger Eye contacts provide reliable mating with Samtec's corresponding male header series across moderate service life applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions and what pin pitch does the TFC-124-02-F-D-A-K connector provide?
The TFC-124-02-F-D-A-K provides 48 positions in a dual-row layout at 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch, creating a strip that spans approximately 30.5 mm in length. This channel density is particularly useful for multi-axis motor control boards, FPGA I/O expansion cards, and industrial signal conditioning modules that need 48 discrete lines in a compact connector footprint.
What does the F suffix indicate in the TFC-124-02-F-D-A-K part number and how does it differ from the LM suffix?
The F suffix designates a standard flat (flush) lead termination style on the TFC-124-02-F-D-A-K, where pin tails are straight for surface-mount soldering without the low-profile body height reduction offered by the LM (low-profile mating) variant. F-suffix connectors typically sit at a standard mating height above the PCB surface, giving approximately 2 mm to 4 mm of clearance, while LM-suffix variants reduce this height for thinner board stacks.
For a 48-channel industrial I/O board, when is the TFC-124-02-F-D-A-K a cost-effective alternative to higher-grade connectors?
The TFC-124-02-F-D-A-K is a cost-effective alternative when the application requires fewer than 200 mating cycles and operates in a controlled temperature environment between -55°C and +125°C. For industrial I/O panels with infrequent card swaps—such as quarterly maintenance intervals—the TFC's Tiger Eye contact design provides sufficient contact reliability at a significantly lower per-pin cost than high-cycle SFM or premium mezzanine connectors with 30 µin gold plating.
Does the TFC-124-02-F-D-A-K support tape-and-reel packaging for high-volume SMT production?
The -A suffix on the TFC-124-02-F-D-A-K indicates tray packaging, which is compatible with automated SMT tray feeders for medium to high-volume production runs. For very high-volume builds requiring tape-and-reel delivery, Samtec offers TR-suffix variants of the TFC family, but the tray format easily accommodates pick-and-place assembly of the 48-position strip at standard SMT line speeds.
