What are the key features of TFC-142-02-L-D-A?

  • 84-position dual-row layout at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch enables very high signal density across a compact PCB footprint for FPGA and DSP module interfaces
  • Tiger Eye contact design delivers consistent low-insertion-force mating with reliable electrical contact across all 84 pins in repeated mate/de-mate cycles
  • Through-hole (L) termination provides robust mechanical retention and solder joint strength suited for industrial and embedded computing PCB assemblies

What is TFC-142-02-L-D-A used for?

The SAMTEC TFC-142-02-L-D-A is designed for high-density FPGA mezzanine cards, parallel data bus backplanes, and multi-channel instrumentation boards where 84 signal lines must be routed through a single compact 0.050 inch pitch dual-row connector. It is equally well suited for test fixture interfaces and embedded computing module stacks in telecommunications and industrial automation equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many positions per row does the TFC-142-02-L-D-A provide and what is the total pin count?

The TFC-142-02-L-D-A provides 84 total positions arranged in 2 rows of 42 contacts each at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch, making it a high-density terminal strip for applications requiring more than 80 signal lines through a single dual-row connector such as FPGA expansion modules.

For a parallel data bus interface requiring 80+ signal lines, how does TFC-142-02-L-D-A compare to smaller Tiger Eye connectors?

The TFC-142-02-L-D-A with 84 positions at 0.050 inch pitch can route an entire 80-bit wide parallel bus including control signals in a single connector, whereas two 42-position or three 28-position Tiger Eye connectors would be needed otherwise, reducing PCB connector count and simplifying board routing in FPGA, DSP, and backplane designs.

What procurement lead time should be expected for the TFC-142-02-L-D-A and how does availability affect design timelines?

SAMTEC Tiger Eye TFC series connectors like the TFC-142-02-L-D-A are typically stocked at major distributors globally, but lead times can vary from 4 weeks to over 12 weeks for high-volume orders of 84-position dual-row 0.050 inch pitch connectors; checking authorized distributor stock early in the design phase ensures the 84-pin connector does not become a critical path bottleneck.
