Frequently Asked Questions
What contact count and pitch does the SAMTEC TFC-136-02-L-D-A-K offer?
The TFC-136-02-L-D-A-K provides 72 contact positions in a dual-row arrangement at 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch, giving 36 pins per row. This high-density layout fits a broad range of parallel bus and multi-channel signal interfaces within a PCB footprint roughly half the size of equivalent 0.100" pitch connectors.
How does the Tiger Eye contact design in the TFC-136-02-L-D-A-K improve connection reliability?
Tiger Eye contacts employ a dual-beam wiping contact geometry that clears contamination from mating surfaces during insertion, maintaining low and stable contact resistance over repeated mating cycles. This makes the TFC-136-02-L-D-A-K reliable in field-serviceable modules and test fixtures where cables are disconnected and reconnected frequently.
Which embedded computing or industrial designs benefit from 72 positions at 1.27mm pitch?
Designs that route 64-bit or wider parallel data buses, multi-channel ADC or DAC interfaces, or combined power-and-signal harnesses in industrial PLCs, embedded SBCs, and medical imaging modules benefit from 72 positions at 1.27mm pitch. The compact connector allows tight board stacking while maintaining full signal fan-out without requiring multiple smaller connectors.
Is the TFC-136-02-L-D-A-K compatible with standard flat flexible cable assemblies?
Yes, the TFC-136-02-L-D-A-K is compatible with standard 1.27mm pitch flat flexible cables (FFC) and flat printed cables (FPC), which are widely available in 72-conductor widths. This simplifies cable sourcing and allows the connector to interface directly with industry-standard FFC assemblies used in scanners, printers, and panel displays.
