Key Features
- 64-position dual-row terminal strip on 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch delivers 128 contacts for high-signal-count board-stacking interfaces
- Tiger Eye cost-effective series provides reliable board-to-board mating at reduced connector cost compared to impedance-controlled alternatives
- Surface-mount termination enables reflow soldering in standard SMT production lines without through-hole drilling
Applications
The TFC-132-02-FM-D-A is intended for mezzanine and daughter-card interconnect applications in industrial computing, embedded control, and telecommunications hardware that require 64 signal positions in a compact 1.27mm-pitch footprint. Its surface-mount configuration integrates into automated SMT assembly processes, making it practical for production boards where manual through-hole loading is not acceptable. The Tiger Eye design balances contact reliability and cost for low-to-medium-frequency bus interfaces such as parallel data, GPIO expansion, and power distribution on stacked modules.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 64-position TFC-132-02-FM-D-A fit into a stacked module design with limited board width?
The TFC-132-02-FM-D-A offers 64 positions in a dual-row layout on a 0.050-inch (1.27mm) pitch, so all 128 contacts span approximately 1.625 inches of board length with a row-to-row spacing of 0.050 inches. This compact footprint allows designers to route a full parallel byte-wide bus, multiple SPI or I2C channels, and power pins across a mezzanine interface without exceeding a 2-inch board-edge allocation in typical embedded computing formats.
Is the TFC-132-02-FM-D-A compatible with Samtec's socket strips for a pluggable mezzanine assembly?
Yes. The TFC-132-02-FM-D-A uses Samtec's standard 0.050-inch dual-row pin layout and mates with Samtec socket strips such as the SFM-132 or SSW series in matching 64-position, 2-row configurations. The Tiger Eye square pins engage the socket contacts within the standard 0.5N to 2.0N insertion force specification, supporting pluggable daughter cards that can be installed or removed in the field without soldering.
When is TFC-132-02-FM-D-A a lower-cost alternative to Samtec's high-speed SEARAY or RAZOR BEAM connectors?
TFC-132-02-FM-D-A is the preferred lower-cost choice when signal frequencies on the mezzanine interface stay below 500 MHz and impedance control or shielding are not required. For GPIO banks, parallel memory buses, slow ADC data lines, and DC power connections where signal integrity is not the limiting factor, the Tiger Eye series avoids the cost premium of SEARAY (rated to 56 Gbps) or RAZOR BEAM high-speed connectors, reducing BOM cost per connector site by a meaningful margin in volume production.
