What are the key features of TFC-142-02-F-D-A-K-TR?
- 84-position dual-row 0.050" pitch layout enabling twice the density of standard 0.100" connectors in the same PCB footprint
- Tiger Eye contact technology providing secure wiping action and reliable low-resistance mating across high-cycle board-to-board applications
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging optimized for high-volume pick-and-place automated SMT assembly lines
What is TFC-142-02-F-D-A-K-TR used for?
The TFC-142-02-F-D-A-K-TR is designed for high-density board-to-board and board-to-FPC interconnection in compact electronics such as communications modules, portable instrumentation, and processor daughter cards. The fine 0.050" pitch allows 84 signal or power connections in a footprint that a standard 0.100" connector could only provide 42 positions in, making it ideal for designs where PCB area is limited. Tape-and-reel packaging supports high-volume automated SMT production, reducing hand-placement errors and improving throughput.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 0.050" pitch of TFC-142-02-F-D-A-K-TR compare to standard 0.100" connectors for high-density board designs?
At 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, the TFC-142-02-F-D-A-K-TR fits 84 positions in roughly half the board length that a standard 0.100" connector would need for the same count. This allows engineers to save significant PCB real estate on compact modules while maintaining the same number of signal and power pins, which is critical in space-constrained portable devices and communication sub-modules.
What is the significance of the Tiger Eye contact design on the TFC-142-02-F-D-A-K-TR for repeated mating cycles?
The Tiger Eye contact geometry on the TFC-142-02-F-D-A-K-TR provides a wiping-action engagement that clears surface oxides with each mating event, maintaining contact resistance below 30 milliohms through hundreds of mating cycles. This makes it especially suited to daughtercard or module replacement scenarios where connectors must remain reliable after frequent board swaps in test fixtures or field-service environments.
How does tape-and-reel packaging on TFC-142-02-F-D-A-K-TR benefit high-volume SMT production lines?
Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging positions each TFC-142-02-F-D-A-K-TR connector in a standardized carrier tape compatible with pick-and-place machines, enabling automated placement at rates exceeding 1000 parts per hour on modern SMT lines. This eliminates manual placement variability, reduces the risk of coplanarity errors on the fine 0.050" pitch pads, and lowers per-unit assembly cost compared to tray or tube packaging.
