Frequently Asked Questions
What pitch and pin count does the TFC-129-02-FM-D-A-K-TR use, and what cable density does it support?
The TFC-129-02-FM-D-A-K-TR uses a 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch with 58 positions in a dual-row configuration, providing 29 pins per row. This ultra-fine pitch supports high-density cable assemblies with 58 conductors, ideal for compact embedded and instrumentation designs needing maximum signal count per inch.
How does Tiger Eye contact technology improve mating reliability in the TFC-129-02-FM-D-A-K-TR?
Tiger Eye contacts use a dual-beam contact design that maintains consistent normal force even after repeated mating cycles, resulting in low and stable contact resistance typically below 20 mΩ. This technology extends connector service life and ensures reliable signal integrity across thousands of insertion and extraction cycles in production environments.
Is the TFC-129-02-FM-D-A-K-TR suitable for automated assembly, and what packaging does it ship in?
Yes, the TR suffix designates tape-and-reel packaging, making this 58-position connector fully compatible with automated SMT pick-and-place equipment. The 0.050 inch pitch and reel packaging allow high-volume board assembly at standard line speeds, reducing per-unit cost for production runs requiring hundreds or thousands of units.
When would you choose TFC-129-02-FM-D-A-K-TR over a 0.100 inch pitch alternative?
Choose the TFC-129-02-FM-D-A-K-TR when board space is constrained and you need 58 signals in roughly half the PCB footprint of a standard 0.100 inch pitch connector. The 0.050 inch pitch saves approximately 50% row length while maintaining the same 58-pin count, making it preferable in compact SBC, FPGA, or data acquisition designs.
