Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions and rows does TFC-140-02-FM-D-A-K-TR provide, and what is the contact pitch?
TFC-140-02-FM-D-A-K-TR is an 80-position dual-row terminal strip with a 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch. This fine-pitch dual-row layout allows 80 independent signal connections in a footprint roughly half the length of an equivalent single-row 0.100 inch pitch connector, ideal for space-constrained PCB designs.
What packaging format does TFC-140-02-FM-D-A-K-TR come in, and how does it support automated assembly?
TFC-140-02-FM-D-A-K-TR is supplied in tape-and-reel (TR) packaging, which is compatible with standard SMT pick-and-place equipment used in automated PCB assembly lines. Tape-and-reel packaging reduces handling errors and supports high-volume production rates, typically thousands of units per reel, lowering per-unit assembly cost.
Which SAMTEC connector series mates with TFC-140-02-FM-D-A-K-TR?
TFC-140-02-FM-D-A-K-TR belongs to SAMTEC's TFC Tiger Eye terminal strip family designed for 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch mating with corresponding TFM or TFW series female connectors. The 80-pin dual-row configuration supports a wide range of signal and mixed-signal interconnect applications in computing and instrumentation boards.
When would an engineer choose TFC-140-02-FM-D-A-K-TR over a 0.100 inch pitch connector?
An engineer selects TFC-140-02-FM-D-A-K-TR when board real estate is limited and 80 signals must be routed through a connector occupying half the PCB length of a comparable 0.100 inch pitch alternative. The 0.050 inch pitch also reduces the connector's 2-row footprint width, enabling tighter component placement around the connector on dense multi-layer boards.
