What are the key features of TFC-129-02-FM-D-K-TR?

  • 58-position dual-row terminal strip with 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch for high-density interconnects in compact PCB assemblies
  • Tiger Eye contact design providing reliable low-insertion-force mating for repeated connect/disconnect cycles
  • Tape-and-reel packaging (TR suffix) supporting automated SMT assembly processes for high-volume production

What is TFC-129-02-FM-D-K-TR used for?

The TFC-129-02-FM-D-K-TR is ideal for high-density board-to-board and board-to-cable interconnect applications in telecommunications, networking, and industrial control equipment requiring 58-pin dual-row connections at 0.050" pitch. Its tape-and-reel format makes it suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly in volume production environments, and its compact footprint enables tighter PCB integration in space-constrained enclosures.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many positions and rows does the TFC-129-02-FM-D-K-TR provide, and what is the pin pitch?

The TFC-129-02-FM-D-K-TR provides 58 total positions arranged in a dual-row (2-row) configuration with a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch between adjacent pins. This high pin count and fine pitch make it well suited for dense board-to-board interconnect designs where space is limited and signal density is high.

For which high-density interconnect scenarios is the TFC-129-02-FM-D-K-TR a better fit than a standard 0.100" pitch connector?

In applications where PCB real estate is limited, the TFC-129-02-FM-D-K-TR's 0.050" pitch uses roughly half the board area of a standard 0.100" pitch connector for the same 58-pin count. This makes it preferable for compact telecommunications modules, networking blades, and embedded computing boards where a 2-row, 58-position header at 1.27 mm pitch delivers the required signal density in a smaller footprint.

Does the tape-and-reel packaging of the TFC-129-02-FM-D-K-TR support automated assembly, and what volumes are typically available?

Yes, the TR suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging specifically designed for automated SMT pick-and-place machines, enabling high-volume production without manual handling. SAMTEC typically offers tape-and-reel quantities in thousands of pieces per reel, making the TFC-129-02-FM-D-K-TR suitable for production runs requiring consistent 58-position dual-row connectors at 0.050" pitch.

What is the Tiger Eye contact technology in the TFC-129-02-FM-D-K-TR and how does it affect mating reliability?

SAMTEC's Tiger Eye contact technology uses a leaf-spring contact design that provides controlled normal force during mating, ensuring reliable electrical connections even after multiple insertion cycles. The FM (female) contacts in the TFC-129-02-FM-D-K-TR engage mating male pins over 58 positions with consistent contact resistance, reducing the risk of intermittent connections in applications subjected to vibration or repeated field servicing.
