Frequently Asked Questions
What position count and pitch does TFC-144-02-FM-D-A offer for high-density PCB designs?
The TFC-144-02-FM-D-A provides 88 positions arranged in a dual-row format with a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, yielding 44 contact pairs. This configuration is ideal for high-density PCB interconnections where routing many signals across a short board edge length is required in telecom and computing applications.
How does Tiger Eye contact technology in TFC-144-02-FM-D-A reduce procurement costs without sacrificing reliability?
Tiger Eye contact technology uses a cost-optimized stamped contact geometry that maintains reliable electrical connection across 88 positions without the premium of complex machined contacts. This allows designers to achieve high-density interconnection at 0.050" pitch while keeping BOM costs lower, making it attractive for cost-sensitive industrial and consumer electronics designs.
Can TFC-144-02-FM-D-A be used in automated SMT assembly, and what reflow profile does it support?
Yes, the TFC-144-02-FM-D-A is designed for surface mount technology (SMT) assembly and is compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles up to approximately 260°C peak temperature. Its SMT footprint allows automated pick-and-place placement, enabling high-throughput production of PCBs with 88-position dual-row connectors.
