Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the TFC-144-02-FM-D-A-K-TR provide, and what is its contact pitch?
The TFC-144-02-FM-D-A-K-TR features 88 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration at a 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch. This compact spacing allows 88 signal or power contacts to fit within a small PCB footprint, making it ideal for high-density mezzanine and board-stacking applications where limited board real estate must accommodate many connections.
Which board-to-board stacking scenarios benefit most from the TFC-144-02-FM-D-A-K-TR terminal strip design?
Applications requiring dense parallel signal routing between a host board and a daughter card—such as FPGA expansion cards, high-speed memory modules, and industrial I/O boards—benefit most. The 88-contact, 0.050 inch pitch dual-row strip delivers 144 total contact positions per mated pair, accommodating address, data, and control buses simultaneously without requiring multiple smaller connectors.
Does TFC-144-02-FM-D-A-K-TR support automated assembly, and what packaging format is supplied?
Yes, the -TR suffix indicates the TFC-144-02-FM-D-A-K-TR is supplied on tape-and-reel, which is compatible with automated SMT pick-and-place equipment. This packaging format reduces manual handling, minimizes placement errors, and supports high-volume PCB assembly workflows typical in telecommunications, automotive electronics, and consumer device manufacturing.
How does the Tiger Eye terminal strip series compare to standard pin-header connectors for cost-sensitive designs?
SAMTEC's Tiger Eye series is specifically engineered as a cost-effective alternative to higher-grade board-stacking connectors while maintaining reliable contact performance at 0.050 inch pitch. For budget-constrained designs needing 88 or more positions, TFC-144-02-FM-D-A-K-TR provides a lower-cost SMT solution compared to high-speed differential array connectors, without sacrificing basic signal integrity at moderate data rates below 1 GHz.
