Frequently Asked Questions
What is the total pin count and row arrangement of the TFC-142-02-F-D-A-K connector?
The TFC-142-02-F-D-A-K offers 84 total positions in a dual-row arrangement with 42 pins per row, using a 0.050-inch (1.27 mm) pitch, providing one of the highest pin counts in the SAMTEC TFC series while maintaining a compact footprint suited for dense PCB interconnect designs.
How does the standard-height (F) profile of TFC-142-02-F-D-A-K affect PCB design choices?
The standard-height F-profile provides a taller contact stack compared to LM low-profile variants, offering greater mechanical stability and easier manual insertion during assembly. This makes it preferable in applications where board-to-board vertical clearance is not constrained, such as open-frame industrial backplanes with 84-pin bus interfaces at 1.27 mm pitch.
In which system categories does the 84-position TFC-142-02-F-D-A-K offer a procurement advantage?
The TFC-142-02-F-D-A-K is particularly cost-effective for FPGA carrier boards, high-channel ADC/DAC systems, and multi-axis motion controllers where 84 pins at 1.27 mm pitch eliminate the need for multiple smaller connectors, reducing both BOM part count and PCB routing complexity in medium-to-high volume production runs.
