What are the key features of TFC-146-02-FM-D-A?
- 92-position dual-row terminal strip at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch providing the highest pin count in the TFC cost-effective series for dense interconnect needs
- Female-male (-FM) contact orientation enabling direct mating with standard male header strips without adapter hardware
- Tiger Eye bifurcated contact design maintaining contact resistance below 20 milliohms over 1000+ mating cycles
- Cost-effective construction with RoHS-compliant materials suitable for high-volume industrial and embedded computing production
What is TFC-146-02-FM-D-A used for?
The TFC-146-02-FM-D-A is designed for large-format board-to-board interconnect applications in industrial control systems, high-channel-count data acquisition platforms, and FPGA carrier boards requiring 92 signal positions at 1.27 mm pitch. Its female-male contact arrangement mates directly with standard 0.050" pitch male headers, simplifying board stack design. Global distribution and competitive cost make it a practical choice for both prototype and series production.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the TFC-146-02-FM-D-A suitable for high-channel-count data acquisition designs?
With 92 positions in a dual-row configuration at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, the TFC-146-02-FM-D-A supports the simultaneous routing of 92 analog or digital signal channels between PCBs. This pin count accommodates ADC bus lines, power rails, and digital I/O in a single connector body, reducing PCB interconnect complexity on high-channel-count acquisition and control boards.
How does the female-male (-FM) contact type of TFC-146-02-FM-D-A differ from standard terminal strips?
The -FM designation indicates female-type mating contacts on the terminal strip that receive standard 0.050" pitch male header pins. This arrangement allows TFC-146-02-FM-D-A to connect directly to male pin headers on daughter boards or modules without requiring additional adapter connectors, streamlining assembly and reducing the component count in 92-pin dual-row board stack systems.
What temperature range does the TFC-146-02-FM-D-A support, and is it appropriate for industrial environments?
SAMTEC Tiger Eye terminal strips including the TFC-146-02-FM-D-A are rated for operating temperatures from -55°C to +125°C, covering both commercial and full industrial temperature ranges. This wide range makes it suitable for factory automation controllers, outdoor industrial gateways, and embedded computing modules deployed in thermally demanding environments.
How does the cost-effective design of the TFC-146-02-FM-D-A compare to SAMTEC's premium connector series for procurement decisions?
The TFC Tiger Eye series offers a lower price per pin compared to SAMTEC's high-reliability MEC or QSE series while still providing Tiger Eye contact technology with contact resistance below 20 milliohms and a 1000+ mating cycle rating. For applications that do not require specialized high-speed differential pair or high-current handling, the TFC-146-02-FM-D-A delivers the necessary 92-pin capacity at a cost advantage of typically 20 to 40 percent over premium alternatives.
