Key Features
- 62-position dual-row configuration at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch enables high-density signal routing within a compact PCB footprint
- Tiger Eye cost-effective contact design provides commercial-grade reliability at a lower cost per position than premium connector lines
- Gold mating finish on phosphor bronze contacts delivers low contact resistance and reliable electrical performance across all 62 pins
- Keying option prevents incorrect connector mating orientation during board assembly and field maintenance operations
Applications
The TFC-131-02-F-D-A-K is ideal for high-density board connector applications in embedded computing, industrial I/O modules, and telecommunications equipment requiring 62 simultaneous signal connections in a compact layout. Its 0.050 inch pitch dual-row design maximizes pin count within a minimal PCB area, supporting complex digital interfaces including parallel data buses and multi-rail power distribution. The Tiger Eye cost-effective design makes this connector well-suited for high-volume commercial production where per-unit connector cost is an important design consideration.

Frequently Asked Questions
What dual-row layout does the TFC-131-02-F-D-A-K use and how many pins are in each row?
The TFC-131-02-F-D-A-K is a 62-position dual-row connector with 31 pins per row at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch. This layout allows routing of up to 62 independent signals or combined power and signal connections through a single compact connector body on the PCB.
How does the keying option on the TFC-131-02-F-D-A-K improve assembly reliability?
The keying option (-K suffix) on the TFC-131-02-F-D-A-K incorporates a physical polarization feature that allows mating in only one correct orientation. This prevents reverse insertion across 62 pins, reducing the risk of circuit damage or assembly errors during both automated PCB manufacturing and manual board installation or replacement.
What is the significance of the 0.050 inch pitch for PCB space savings on the TFC-131-02-F-D-A-K?
At 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch, the TFC-131-02-F-D-A-K offers twice the pin density per unit length compared to standard 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch connectors. For a 62-position dual-row connector, this results in a significantly shorter body length, freeing up PCB real estate for other components in densely populated electronic designs.
When is TFC-131-02-F-D-A-K a more economical choice than premium high-cycle-rated board connectors?
The Tiger Eye cost-effective design is the better choice when applications require fewer than approximately 30 mating cycles over the product lifetime, such as in fixed-installation industrial modules or one-time-assembled backplane systems. For these use cases, the TFC-131-02-F-D-A-K delivers the required 62-pin connectivity at a lower per-connector cost than premium lines rated for 100 or more mating cycles.
