- 124 positions (62 per row) at 0.050-inch pitch delivering high-density dual-row interconnects in a compact form
- Tiger Eye bifurcated contact technology providing 2 independent wipe points per pin for superior reliability
- Right-angle (L) termination for horizontal mating configurations and board-edge or front-panel access applications
- Cost-effective Tiger Eye design balancing high reliability with budget-friendly pricing for volume builds
What is TFC-131-02-L-D-A used for?
The TFC-131-02-L-D-A is suited for horizontal card-edge interconnect systems, FPGA interface headers, and industrial control backplanes requiring 124 reliable signal connections at 0.050-inch pitch with right-angle access. Its Tiger Eye contacts and dual-row layout make it a practical choice for data acquisition modules, test-and-measurement instrument front panels, and communications mezzanine cards where repeated mating reliability is essential.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many signal positions does the TFC-131-02-L-D-A offer, and what pitch separates adjacent contacts?
The TFC-131-02-L-D-A provides 124 total positions arranged in 2 rows of 62 contacts each, with a 0.050-inch (1.27 mm) pitch between adjacent pins. This compact dual-row format allows designers to route 124 independent signals through a single connector without the board-space penalty of using multiple smaller connectors side by side.
What advantage does the right-angle termination of the TFC-131-02-L-D-A provide in rack-mount system designs?
The right-angle (L) termination redirects the connector body so that the mating face is perpendicular to the PCB surface, allowing the connector to engage a cable or mating board that runs parallel to the PCB. In rack-mounted equipment, this means the PCB can be mounted flat inside the chassis while the connector mates at the front or rear panel, eliminating the need for 90-degree cable bends that add length and introduce signal-integrity risks at frequencies above 50 MHz.
For a motion-control design requiring over 100 I/O lines, how does the TFC-131-02-L-D-A simplify the interconnect architecture?
A single TFC-131-02-L-D-A handles 124 I/O lines, which covers the combined digital inputs, digital outputs, encoder signals, and analog monitor lines typical of a multi-axis servo controller. Consolidating all I/O into one 124-pin connector at 0.050-inch pitch reduces cable harness complexity, minimizes connector-to-connector skew differences, and cuts assembly time compared to using 6 or more 20-pin connectors. The Tiger Eye contacts sustain reliable connections even under the vibration common in motor-drive enclosures.
What differentiates the TFC-131-02-L-D-A from a standard pin-header on the same 0.050-inch pitch?
The key differentiator is the Tiger Eye contact geometry: each pin features a bifurcated beam that creates 2 separate contact wipes rather than the single contact point found on standard machined-pin or stamped headers. This means the TFC-131-02-L-D-A maintains a lower and more consistent contact resistance across all 124 positions during repeated mating cycles — important in test jigs or service connectors that are plugged and unplugged more than 200 times over the product lifecycle.
