What are the key features of TFC-131-02-F-D-A-K-TR?
- 62-position dual-row layout at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch enabling high-density signal routing within a compact PCB footprint
- Tiger Eye gold-plated contacts providing consistent low contact resistance below 20 mΩ through repeated mating cycles
- Cost-effective terminal strip design offering high position count without the premium cost of high-speed or impedance-controlled connector families
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging for automated SMT pick-and-place assembly in mid- to high-volume production
What is TFC-131-02-F-D-A-K-TR used for?
The TFC-131-02-F-D-A-K-TR is suited for high-density board-to-board and mezzanine card interfaces in FPGA development platforms, embedded computing modules, and test-and-measurement instruments that require 62 signal lines in a minimal PCB footprint. Its 1.27 mm pitch allows dense routing near processor I/O banks while keeping the connector body under 40 mm in length. The tape-and-reel format and SMT footprint make it well-suited for automated production of signal-intensive electronic assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the TFC-131-02-F-D-A-K-TR carry, and what pitch does it use for high-density PCB routing?
The TFC-131-02-F-D-A-K-TR carries 62 positions in a dual-row arrangement at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch, fitting all 62 contacts into a connector body approximately 39 mm long. This fine pitch is half the standard 2.54 mm spacing, allowing designers to route 62 signals in the board area that a coarser connector would use for only 30 positions.
What makes the Tiger Eye contact design in TFC-131-02-F-D-A-K-TR reliable for high-cycle board-to-board mating?
Tiger Eye contacts use a bifurcated gold-plated spring design that makes two independent wiping points per position, maintaining contact resistance below 20 mΩ even after 200 or more mating cycles. The dual-wipe action also self-cleans minor oxidation on mating pads, improving reliability in environments where periodic connector servicing introduces microscopic surface contamination.
How does TFC-131-02-F-D-A-K-TR compare to TFC-129-02-LM-D-A-K-TR in position count for FPGA expansion interfaces?
The TFC-131-02-F-D-A-K-TR has 62 positions versus 58 positions on the TFC-129-02-LM-D-A-K-TR, both at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch. The 62-position variant adds 4 extra signal lines, which can be used for additional GPIO, ground returns, or power pins in FPGA expansion card designs where every available I/O pin from the device's bank contributes to interface bandwidth.
What packaging format does TFC-131-02-F-D-A-K-TR ship in, and is it compatible with standard SMT reflow processes?
The TFC-131-02-F-D-A-K-TR ships in tape-and-reel (TR) format and uses SMT terminations rated for reflow soldering at peak temperatures up to 260°C, meeting JEDEC J-STD-020 lead-free reflow requirements. The tape packaging feeds directly into automated pick-and-place machines, enabling placement rates of hundreds of connectors per hour without manual loading.
