Key Features
- 70 positions at 0.050" pitch in a dual-row male layout for ultra-high-density board interconnect
- Tiger Eye contact design delivers enhanced normal force for secure mating with reduced insertion force across all 70 pins
- Tin (Sn) over nickel (Ni) contact finish on termination ensures reliable PCB solder joints with strong adhesion
- Cost-effective TFC series design balances performance and price for high-volume commercial PCB applications
Applications
The TFC-135-02-F-D-A-K is used in high-density board-to-board interconnect designs for FPGA carrier boards, embedded computing modules, and communications equipment that require 70 signal connections at 0.050" pitch with minimal PCB footprint. Its Tiger Eye contact geometry makes it well-matched with SAMTEC SFM series sockets in mezzanine stacking configurations. The cost-effective TFC series design is particularly suited for high-volume production runs in industrial automation, networking hardware, and test and measurement equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the pitch and total pin count of the TFC-135-02-F-D-A-K, and how does this compare to 0.100" alternatives?
The TFC-135-02-F-D-A-K provides 70 positions in a dual-row layout at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, fitting the same 70-pin count into roughly half the PCB area required by a 0.100" pitch connector, which is a significant advantage for space-constrained designs in networking or embedded computing boards.
Which SAMTEC socket connectors mate with the TFC-135-02-F-D-A-K terminal strip?
The TFC-135-02-F-D-A-K mates with SAMTEC's SFM series female socket strips at the same 0.050" pitch, such as the SFM-135 (70-position), forming a complete 70-pin dual-row board-to-board interconnect system. The Tiger Eye contact design on both male and female parts ensures consistent normal force across all 70 positions.
For which design scenario should an engineer choose TFC-135-02-F-D-A-K over the higher-spec TFM series?
Engineers should select the TFC-135-02-F-D-A-K when a project requires 70 connections at 0.050" pitch but cost is the primary constraint over maximum performance. The cost-effective TFC series uses tin-over-nickel termination and standard contact plating, providing adequate performance for commercial-grade PCB designs running at signal speeds up to several hundred MHz without the premium pricing of the gold-plated TFM series.
