Key Features
- 66-position dual-row layout at 0.050-inch (1.27 mm) pitch enabling high-density signal and power routing in compact board designs
- Tiger Eye contact system providing consistent low-resistance mating and mechanical reliability across all 66 positions
- Cost-effective terminal strip design reducing per-pin interconnect cost in medium-to-large pin-count PCB interface applications
Applications
The TFC-133-02-L-D-A is designed for high-density board-to-board and mezzanine interconnect applications requiring 66 signal or power connections within a 0.050-inch pitch footprint. It is commonly applied in mid-range FPGA boards, digital signal processing modules, and multi-channel analog interface cards where a 33-contact-per-row arrangement accommodates wide data buses and multiple power domains. The Tiger Eye contact design ensures long-term connection reliability in commercial and light industrial electronic assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the contact arrangement and pitch of the TFC-133-02-L-D-A terminal strip?
The TFC-133-02-L-D-A provides 66 total positions in a dual-row configuration with 33 contacts per row at a 0.050-inch (1.27 mm) pitch. This arrangement supports 32-bit parallel buses with dedicated ground pins or other mixed signal and power assignments on a single compact connector.
How does the TFC-133 66-pin connector benefit designs that previously used two separate 34-pin connectors?
Replacing two 34-pin connectors with a single TFC-133 reduces PCB connector footprint by approximately 40 percent and eliminates one mating interface, cutting assembly labor and potential failure points. The single 66-pin connector also simplifies cable harness management in backplane and rack-mount systems.
Is the TFC-133-02-L-D-A suitable for high-speed digital signal transmission, and what pitch constraint applies?
The TFC-133-02-L-D-A at 0.050-inch (1.27 mm) pitch is suitable for moderate-speed digital signals typically up to several hundred MHz, where controlled impedance is managed at the PCB trace level rather than the connector itself. For multi-gigabit serial protocols, a differential-pair-optimized connector family is recommended instead, but for parallel buses at 100 MHz or below this connector performs reliably.
