Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions and what pitch does the TFC-134-02-FM-D-A-K support for dense PCB designs?
The TFC-134-02-FM-D-A-K provides 68 positions in a dual-row layout at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. This fine pitch allows designers to route wide parallel buses in minimal board space, making it suitable for FPGA daughtercards, memory modules, and high-speed signal backplanes where every millimeter of PCB real estate is critical.
When should designers choose the TFC-134-02-FM-D-A-K over higher-cost fine-pitch alternatives?
The TFC-134-02-FM-D-A-K is the preferred choice when a 68-position, 0.050" dual-row connection is needed at production-friendly pricing without sacrificing SAMTEC's Tiger Eye contact reliability. It suits high-volume industrial controls, embedded computing, and test equipment designs where cost per connector matters but contact integrity over thousands of mating cycles is still required.
What mating connectors pair with the TFC-134-02-FM-D-A-K for board stacking at 0.050" pitch?
The TFC-134-02-FM-D-A-K is compatible with SAMTEC TFC and TSM series mating headers at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch in a 68-position dual-row configuration. These headers are available in various stack heights and mounting styles, enabling flexible board-to-board separation from 0.1" to over 0.5" depending on the specific application's mechanical clearance requirements.
