Frequently Asked Questions
What contact technology does the TFC-142-02-LM-D-A-K-TR use, and how does it benefit signal reliability?
The TFC-142-02-LM-D-A-K-TR employs SAMTEC Tiger Eye contact technology, which provides consistent normal force across all 84 contact positions at 0.050-inch pitch, ensuring reliable low-resistance electrical connections in signal-intensive board-to-board interface applications while remaining cost-effective compared to premium high-reliability socket strips.
What packaging option does TFC-142-02-LM-D-A-K-TR offer, and how does this affect production efficiency?
The -TR suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging for the TFC-142-02-LM-D-A-K-TR, enabling automated pick-and-place placement on SMT assembly lines. This packaging is essential for high-volume production runs, eliminating manual handling of individual connectors and reducing assembly labor cost per board significantly.
When is TFC-142-02-LM-D-A-K-TR a lower-cost alternative to premium high-reliability socket strips in a 84-pin dual-row application?
The TFC-142-02-LM-D-A-K-TR is appropriate when an 84-position 0.050-inch pitch dual-row interconnect must balance signal reliability and cost in applications that do not require the extreme mating cycle ratings or the extended temperature specifications of SAMTEC premium SFM-series high-reliability socket strips, such as cost-sensitive industrial and consumer-grade embedded computing modules.
