Key Features
- 94 total contacts (47 positions, dual-row) on a 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch, providing high I/O density for FPGA daughter cards and mezzanine module interfaces
- Tiger Eye contact design delivers reliable low-insertion-force mating with consistent 4-point contact redundancy, improving signal integrity compared to single-beam alternatives
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging and cost-effective (TFC series) construction support automated SMT pick-and-place in volume production without sacrificing electrical performance
Applications
The TFC-147-02-F-D-A-K-TR is ideal for FPGA expansion boards, high-speed data acquisition modules, and network processing mezzanine cards that demand a 94-pin interface in a compact 0.050 inch pitch footprint. Its dual-row configuration and Tiger Eye contact geometry enable reliable board-to-board connections in embedded computing and telecom line cards where signal density is critical. The tape-and-reel format makes it well-suited for automated assembly in mid-to-high volume production environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 0.050 inch pitch of the TFC-147-02-F-D-A-K-TR enable higher density than a 0.100 inch pitch terminal strip on an FPGA carrier board?
At 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch, the TFC-147-02-F-D-A-K-TR fits 47 positions per row in the same linear space that a 0.100 inch pitch connector would use for only 23 or 24 positions. For a 94-contact interface, this halves the connector row length to approximately 59.7 mm, freeing significant PCB area for routing or other components on FPGA carrier and mezzanine boards.
What does the Tiger Eye contact design in the TFC series offer compared to standard single-beam contacts for high-cycle mating applications?
The Tiger Eye contact uses a 4-point redundant contact geometry instead of a single cantilever beam. This provides 4 independent points of electrical contact per pin, reducing contact resistance and improving reliability under vibration or thermal cycling. In applications such as test sockets or frequently swapped FPGA modules, the 4-point design maintains low resistance even after hundreds of mating cycles, unlike single-beam alternatives that can degrade after 50 to 100 cycles.
For production purchasing, what packaging does the TFC-147-02-F-D-A-K-TR come in, and how does the TFC series pricing compare to premium connector families?
The TFC-147-02-F-D-A-K-TR is supplied in tape-and-reel (TR suffix), compatible with standard SMT pick-and-place equipment for batch sizes of hundreds to thousands of units per reel. The TFC (Tiger Eye Cost-Effective) series is Samtec's value-tier alternative to the premium TFM series, offering comparable 0.050 inch pitch dual-row electrical performance at a lower unit price, making it suitable for cost-sensitive volume designs that still require the 94-contact density of this specific MPN.
