What are the key features of TFC-142-02-L-D-A-K-TR?
- 84-position dual-row layout at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch delivers high-density signal routing in a compact PCB footprint
- Tiger Eye contact design provides superior wiping action and contact reliability for repeated mating cycles
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables automated pick-and-place assembly for high-volume PCB production
What is TFC-142-02-L-D-A-K-TR used for?
The TFC-142-02-L-D-A-K-TR is used in high-density board-to-board and wire-to-board interconnect applications in telecommunications equipment, data acquisition systems, and embedded computing modules where 84 signals must be routed in a minimal PCB footprint. Its 0.050 inch pitch suits compact backplane and mezzanine connector designs in industrial automation and test-and-measurement instrumentation. The tape-and-reel format also makes it compatible with automated SMT assembly lines in high-volume manufacturing environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the TFC-142-02-L-D-A-K-TR have, and what is its contact pitch?
The TFC-142-02-L-D-A-K-TR has 84 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration with a 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch. This combination allows a high signal count to be accommodated in a relatively small PCB area, making it suitable for dense backplane and mezzanine interconnect designs in telecom, data acquisition, and embedded computing applications.
What advantage does SAMTEC's Tiger Eye contact design offer in high-cycle interconnect scenarios?
SAMTEC's Tiger Eye contact geometry uses a bifurcated cantilever beam that creates two independent contact points per pin, providing redundant electrical contact paths. This wiping action removes surface oxides on each mating cycle, maintaining low contact resistance even after hundreds of insertions. For test fixtures and field-replaceable modules that require more than 100 mating cycles, Tiger Eye connectors outperform standard machined-pin designs.
Is the TFC-142-02-L-D-A-K-TR available in tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly?
Yes, the -TR suffix in the part number designates tape-and-reel packaging. This format is compatible with standard IPC-compliant pick-and-place machines, supporting throughput rates typical in high-volume PCB assembly. The reel format minimizes manual handling and reduces component placement errors compared to tube or tray packaging for connectors of this 0.050 inch pitch size.
What PCB applications are best served by the 0.050 inch pitch and dual-row layout of this SAMTEC terminal strip?
At 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch with 84 dual-row positions, this terminal strip fits tightly routed boards in embedded single-board computers, FPGA development modules, and data acquisition front-ends that route 40 to 84 digital or analog signals between stacked boards. The dual-row layout halves the connector length compared to a single-row arrangement, saving several centimeters of PCB edge length on cards constrained by chassis slot width.
