Frequently Asked Questions
What contact gender does TFC-138-02-FM-D-A-K use, and which mating connector types are compatible?
The TFC-138-02-FM-D-A-K uses female (FM) socket contacts at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch in a dual-row configuration with 76 positions. It is designed to mate with corresponding male square-pin headers from SAMTEC's TFC and SFM series, providing a reliable 76-signal board-to-board interface in stacked or adjacent PCB assemblies.
How does TFC-138-02-FM-D-A-K fit into a modular FPGA daughter-card system with 76 signals?
For an FPGA daughter-card design requiring 76 signal connections, TFC-138-02-FM-D-A-K provides all 76 contacts in a single dual-row 0.050" pitch footprint, eliminating the need for multiple smaller connectors. The female socket contacts ensure secure mechanical retention of the daughter card, and the 1.27 mm pitch matches common FPGA carrier board header designs.
For a cost-sensitive production run, how does TFC-138-02-FM-D-A-K balance price and performance?
The Tiger Eye series, including TFC-138-02-FM-D-A-K with 76 positions at 0.050" pitch, is priced lower than premium SAMTEC high-cycle connectors while still offering reliable contact mating and gold-compatible termination finishes. This makes it a practical choice for moderate-cycle applications in industrial or test equipment where connector cost per 76-pin assembly is a key BOM consideration.
