Key Features
- 80-position dual-row layout at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch enables very high signal density in a compact PCB footprint
- Tiger Eye dual-beam contact design provides reliable wiping action and consistent low contact resistance across all 80 positions
- Cost-effective terminal strip design reduces connector BOM cost in high-pin-count, high-volume PCB assembly applications
Applications
The TFC-140-02-FM-D-A-K is designed for high-density board-to-board and wire-to-board interconnection in FPGA platforms, advanced DSP cards, and telecommunications equipment. Its 80-position dual-row configuration at 0.050" pitch allows routing of a large number of parallel signals within a minimal PCB area, making it ideal for data plane interfaces and high-channel-count sensor arrays. This connector is commonly specified in industrial automation controllers, medical imaging systems, and rack-mounted computing hardware where 80-channel connectivity and fine pitch are both required.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many signal channels does the TFC-140-02-FM-D-A-K support and at what pitch?
The TFC-140-02-FM-D-A-K supports 80 signal channels arranged in a dual-row layout at a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. This high channel count in a fine-pitch format is particularly valuable in FPGA I/O breakout boards, high-channel-count ADC interfaces, and backplane systems where up to 80 parallel signals must be routed between two PCBs within a compact connector footprint.
For what type of PCB board pairing or mating connector is the TFC-140-02-FM-D-A-K designed?
The TFC-140-02-FM-D-A-K is a female (FM) dual-row 0.050" pitch Tiger Eye terminal strip, designed to mate with SAMTEC's corresponding male TFC or TST series 0.050" pitch pin strips. The 80-position dual-row format accommodates both board-to-board and flex cable-to-board connection scenarios, supporting system architectures where high signal density between PCBs or flex circuits is required.
How does choosing the TFC-140-02-FM-D-A-K affect assembly cost compared to a higher-specification fine-pitch connector?
The TFC-140-02-FM-D-A-K is positioned as a cost-effective terminal strip in SAMTEC's Tiger Eye series, offering a lower per-unit price compared to premium high-speed or controlled-impedance fine-pitch connectors while still delivering reliable 80-position connectivity at 0.050" pitch. For signal-level applications that do not require controlled impedance or differential pair routing, this cost-effective option can meaningfully reduce BOM cost per board in medium-to-high volume production runs.
