What are the key features of TFC-131-02-L-D-A-K?
- 62-position dual-row friction-mate terminal strip on 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch supporting high pin-count interconnects in a compact PCB footprint
- Tiger Eye contact geometry maintains consistent normal force for low contact resistance and reliable mating over repeated insertions
- Right-angle (L) through-hole mounting style enables vertical board-to-board connections and edge-access wire termination in enclosure-constrained designs
- Cost-effective TFC series construction delivers reliable electrical performance at reduced cost versus premium precision board-to-board connectors
What is TFC-131-02-L-D-A-K used for?
The TFC-131-02-L-D-A-K is used in high pin-count board-to-board interconnect applications within industrial computers, test and measurement equipment, and embedded computing platforms where 62 positions at 1.27 mm pitch are required in a right-angle configuration. Its through-hole right-angle mounting provides robust mechanical retention and simplified edge-access mating in chassis-mounted assemblies. The Tiger Eye contact design ensures consistent connectivity even in vibration-prone environments typical of industrial automation systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the TFC-131-02-L-D-A-K have, and what is its contact pitch?
The TFC-131-02-L-D-A-K is a 62-position dual-row terminal strip with a 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) contact pitch. This high position count at a tight pitch allows engineers to route 62 signal lines in two rows within a compact board area, which is ideal for dense FPGA daughter card and backplane interconnect designs.
What mounting style does the TFC-131-02-L-D-A-K use, and how does it affect PCB layout?
The -L suffix designates a right-angle through-hole mounting style, which orients the mating interface parallel to the PCB surface. This allows a mating connector or ribbon cable to exit from the board edge rather than perpendicular to it, saving vertical clearance inside enclosures with lid heights under 20 mm. The through-hole tails provide additional mechanical anchoring compared to surface-mount versions.
In what industrial or computing applications is the TFC-131-02-L-D-A-K commonly used?
This 62-position terminal strip is used in FPGA mezzanine cards, industrial I/O expansion boards, single-board computers, and test instrumentation backplanes where 62 parallel signal lanes must be routed at 1.27 mm pitch. It is also used in prototyping and low-volume production scenarios where quick rework is needed, since the friction-mate Tiger Eye contacts allow insertion and removal without specialized tools.
How does the TFC-131-02-L-D-A-K compare to SAMTEC's TSW or TMMH series for right-angle 1.27 mm pitch applications?
The TFC series is the cost-reduced variant targeting designs that prioritize BOM cost over cycle-count durability. The TSW and TMMH series offer higher insertion cycle ratings (typically 50–100 cycles) and tighter dimensional tolerances, whereas the TFC-131-02-L-D-A-K is optimized for low to moderate cycle applications—under 30 insertions—at a lower unit price per 62-position assembly.
