Key Features
- 94-position dual-row layout at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch provides one of the highest pin counts in the Tiger Eye terminal strip series for extreme-density routing
- Keying option (-K) ensures correct polarized mating orientation across all 94 positions, preventing assembly errors in complex multi-connector PCB designs
- Gold mating finish on phosphor bronze contacts maintains low contact resistance across the full 94-pin connector for reliable signal and power integrity
- Tiger Eye cost-effective design minimizes per-pin connector cost in high-volume production of large pin count board interconnects
Applications
The TFC-147-02-F-D-A-K is designed for very high pin count board connector applications in large FPGA development platforms, telecommunications backplanes, and industrial control systems with extensive I/O requirements. Its 94-position dual-row layout at 0.050 inch pitch supports routing of wide parallel data buses, multi-channel analog signals, and multiple power rails through a single connector in densely populated PCB assemblies. The keying feature and Tiger Eye cost-effective design make it suitable for high-volume commercial production of complex electronic systems requiring maximum connectivity density.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the total position count and per-row pin density of the TFC-147-02-F-D-A-K?
The TFC-147-02-F-D-A-K provides 94 positions in a dual-row configuration with 47 pins per row at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch. This very high pin count in a compact body allows routing of wide data buses, multiple power rails, and numerous control signals through a single board connector on complex PCB assemblies.
How does the keying option benefit the TFC-147-02-F-D-A-K in multi-connector PCB assemblies?
With 94 pins across 2 rows, accidental reverse mating could damage critical circuits. The -K keying option on the TFC-147-02-F-D-A-K provides a physical polarization feature ensuring only correct single-orientation mating. This is especially valuable on PCBs with multiple nearby connectors where visual identification of correct orientation is difficult during assembly or field servicing.
Which embedded computing or FPGA applications can leverage the 94-position capacity of the TFC-147-02-F-D-A-K?
FPGA mezzanine cards, DSP processing boards, and large industrial I/O modules that need to route 64-bit or wider parallel buses alongside dedicated power and ground pins benefit most from the TFC-147-02-F-D-A-K's 94-position capacity. At 0.050 inch pitch, all 94 positions fit within a body length of approximately 2.4 inches, keeping the connector footprint compact even at this high pin count.
Is the TFC-147-02-F-D-A-K more cost-efficient than connectors with individual pin sockets for a 94-position interface?
Yes, the Tiger Eye strip design on the TFC-147-02-F-D-A-K is significantly more cost-efficient than using 94 individual discrete socket contacts at 1.27 mm pitch, since the strip connector is manufactured and placed as a single component. This reduces both per-unit part cost and assembly time, yielding meaningful savings at high volumes on PCBs that need 90 or more signal connections in a compact layout.
