Frequently Asked Questions
What is the circuit count and pitch of the TFC-146-02-FM-D-A-K-TR, and how does that affect board layout density?
The TFC-146-02-FM-D-A-K-TR provides 92 positions on a 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) dual-row pitch, yielding one of the highest circuit densities available in this connector family. Designers can terminate 92 separate signals or power circuits within a board footprint of approximately 59 mm length, enabling compact multi-channel system layouts.
What is Tiger Eye contact technology and why does it matter for 92-circuit connector reliability?
Tiger Eye is SAMTEC's proprietary dual-beam contact design that grips the mating pin from two opposing sides, providing high normal force across all 92 positions while keeping insertion force manageable. This geometry maintains reliable electrical contact even after 100 or more mating cycles, reducing contact resistance variation in high-cycle test fixture and instrumentation applications.
Is the TFC-146-02-FM-D-A-K-TR suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly, and what does the TR suffix indicate?
Yes, the TR suffix designates tape-and-reel packaging, confirming that these 92-position connectors are supplied in a reel format compatible with standard SMT pick-and-place equipment. Reels typically carry hundreds of units, supporting high-volume production runs without interruption for manual part loading.
