Key Features
- 90-position dual-row female terminal strip at 0.050 inch pitch providing 45 contacts per row for high-density board-to-board interconnects
- Tiger Eye contact technology ensuring reliable low insertion force mating with matching male headers across 90 positions
- Tape and reel (-TR) packaging for high-volume automated pick-and-place assembly in cost-sensitive production environments
Applications
The TFC-145-02-F-D-K-TR is suited for high-density board stacking in embedded computing, telecommunications, and industrial control systems where 90-position dual-row female connectors at 0.050 inch pitch are required. Its cost-effective Tiger Eye design enables reliable mezzanine stacking between motherboards and daughtercards in space-constrained enclosures. This terminal strip is commonly used in FPGA expansion boards, data acquisition modules, and server backplane interconnect systems requiring large-scale dual-row connectivity.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions and what pitch does TFC-145-02-F-D-K-TR offer for high-density PCB interconnects?
The TFC-145-02-F-D-K-TR provides 90 positions arranged in a dual-row female configuration with 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch, giving 45 contacts per row. This high-density layout is designed for board-to-board stacking applications in embedded computing, FPGA expansion, and industrial control systems where large pin count interconnects are required.
What contact gender does TFC-145-02-F-D-K-TR use and which SAMTEC headers does it mate with?
The TFC-145-02-F-D-K-TR features female contacts, making it compatible with corresponding SAMTEC male square pin headers in the TFC and similar series at 0.050 inch pitch. The Tiger Eye contact design provides reliable mating with low insertion force across all 90 positions, supporting repeated mate-and-unmate cycles in modular PCB systems.
Is TFC-145-02-F-D-K-TR suitable for automated assembly lines and what packaging does it come in?
Yes, the TFC-145-02-F-D-K-TR carries a -TR suffix indicating tape and reel packaging, which is fully compatible with automated pick-and-place SMT assembly equipment. Reel packaging is particularly valuable for this 90-position connector in high-volume production runs, reducing assembly cycle time and minimizing handling defects compared to loose packaging.
When does a 90-position dual-row female connector like TFC-145-02-F-D-K-TR outperform multiple smaller connectors in backplane designs?
A single TFC-145-02-F-D-K-TR with 90 positions at 0.050 inch pitch simplifies PCB layout compared to using multiple smaller 20-pin or 30-pin connectors, because it reduces the number of separate footprints, eliminates inter-connector gaps, and provides a continuous 1.27 mm pitch mating interface. This consolidation is critical in backplane and mezzanine stacking designs requiring 45 differential pairs or 90 single-ended signal lines.
