What are the key features of TFC-138-02-FM-D-K-TR?

  • 76 positions in a dual-row configuration on 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch for ultra-high-density board-edge interfaces
  • Tiger Eye bifurcated contact ensures reliable mating with consistent wiping force across all 76 positions
  • K keying prevents incorrect mating orientation on boards with multiple adjacent high-position-count connectors
  • FM right-angle mounting provides board-edge access suitable for panel-mount or side-access cable connections
  • Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging supports automated high-volume SMT assembly

What is TFC-138-02-FM-D-K-TR used for?

The TFC-138-02-FM-D-K-TR is designed for high-density processor expansion, FPGA I/O breakout, and backplane edge-connector applications where 76 positions at 0.050" pitch consolidate a large number of signal lines into a compact board-edge footprint. It suits high-speed data acquisition cards, GPU daughter boards, and FPGA development modules requiring right-angle cable access from the board edge through a panel cutout. The K keying feature makes it reliable in multi-connector assemblies such as mezzanine card racks where multiple TFC connectors are installed side-by-side with different signal assignments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which high-density connection need does TFC-138-02-FM-D-K-TR address?

TFC-138-02-FM-D-K-TR is a Tiger Eye terminal strip for board-edge signal interfaces, providing 76 pins on a 0.050 inch pitch.

How does the FM right-angle mounting choice affect PCB planning?

The FM right-angle configuration changes connector exit direction, so engineers should verify enclosure clearance and the full 76 pins against the target footprint.

What should buyers preserve when qualifying an alternate TFC series part?

An alternate should preserve the same dual-row family, K keying, tape-and-reel supply, and 76 pins to avoid mating and assembly changes.
