Applications
The TFC-126-02-FM-D-K-TR is well suited for board-to-board and mezzanine stacking in embedded computing modules, FPGA development boards, and industrial control daughtercards requiring 52-position dual-row connectivity at 0.050 inch pitch. Its cost-effective Tiger Eye design supports reliable signal and power distribution across 26 pins per row in space-constrained PCB assemblies. This terminal strip is widely used in expansion modules, sensor interface boards, and data acquisition systems where a standard 1.27 mm pitch dual-row connector is specified.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions and what pitch does TFC-126-02-FM-D-K-TR provide for dual-row board stacking?
The TFC-126-02-FM-D-K-TR features 52 positions in a dual-row arrangement at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch, providing 26 contacts per row. This configuration is commonly used for board-to-board stacking in embedded modules, FPGA expansion boards, and sensor daughtercards where a compact, cost-effective 52-pin dual-row interconnect at standard 1.27 mm pitch is required.
What does the FM designation in TFC-126-02-FM-D-K-TR indicate about its contact configuration?
The FM designation in TFC-126-02-FM-D-K-TR indicates a female-male contact configuration, meaning this terminal strip can interface with both opposing male and female connectors for flexible board stacking arrangements. This dual compatibility across 52 positions at 0.050 inch pitch enables versatile mating options in modular PCB system designs without requiring separate male and female connector parts.
Is TFC-126-02-FM-D-K-TR available in automated assembly packaging for high-volume PCB production?
Yes, the TFC-126-02-FM-D-K-TR includes a -TR suffix denoting tape and reel packaging, which is fully compatible with automated SMT pick-and-place machines. This packaging is ideal for high-volume production of 52-position dual-row connector assemblies at 0.050 inch pitch, reducing handling time and ensuring repeatable placement accuracy across production batches.
How does TFC-126-02-FM-D-K-TR compare to larger 90-position SAMTEC terminal strips for mid-density signal routing?
The TFC-126-02-FM-D-K-TR with 52 positions at 0.050 inch pitch occupies less board length than 90-position variants while still providing 26 differential pairs or 52 single-ended signals. This mid-density position count is a better match for embedded computing modules and sensor interface boards needing moderate connectivity without the larger footprint of 90-pin connectors, reducing PCB area and connector cost.
