Key Features
- 70-position dual-row terminal strip on 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch for ultra-high-density connector footprints
- Tiger Eye cost-effective design reduces per-unit connector cost while maintaining SAMTEC quality and reliability
- Tape-and-reel packaging (-TR suffix) supports automated SMT pick-and-place assembly for high-volume production
Applications
The TFC-135-02-F-D-K-TR is deployed in high-density embedded computing boards, communication modules, and FPGA carrier cards where a 70-circuit fine-pitch connector must fit within a constrained board footprint. Its 0.050" pitch and tape-and-reel delivery make it a cost-effective and assembly-friendly choice for mass-production electronics requiring many parallel signal connections in a small area.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the pitch and position count of the TFC-135-02-F-D-K-TR, and how does this affect routing density?
The TFC-135-02-F-D-K-TR features 70 positions on a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch in a dual-row arrangement, which provides twice the circuit density of standard .100" pitch connectors within the same board length. This fine pitch is ideal for high-lane-count interfaces such as parallel memory buses or multi-channel sensor aggregators on space-constrained PCBs.
How does the tape-and-reel packaging of the TFC-135-02-F-D-K-TR support manufacturing efficiency?
The -TR suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging, allowing the connector to be fed directly into automated SMT pick-and-place machines. This eliminates hand-loading, reduces placement cycle time, and lowers assembly error rates in high-volume production runs of 1000 units or more, making it highly cost-effective for commercial electronics manufacturing.
When should a designer choose the TFC-135-02-F-D-K-TR over a standard .100" pitch 70-position header?
A designer should select the TFC-135-02-F-D-K-TR when PCB real estate is limited and a 70-circuit interface must fit in half the board length that a .100" header would require. At 0.050" pitch, the connector body spans roughly 1.75 inches for 35 positions per row instead of 3.5 inches, enabling more compact enclosure and motherboard designs in embedded computing and instrumentation equipment.
