Frequently Asked Questions
What is the total position count and row configuration of the TFC-147-02-FM-D terminal strip?
The TFC-147-02-FM-D has 94 positions arranged in a dual-row (2 rows of 47) configuration at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. This high-density dual-row layout provides 94 simultaneous signal or mixed-power connections within a linear span of approximately 2.35 inches, making it suitable for dense backplane stacking systems.
What does 'FM' mean in the TFC-147-02-FM-D part number, and how does it affect mating connector selection?
The 'FM' suffix in SAMTEC's TFC series designates a female mating interface with a specific contact design. This female terminal strip is designed to mate with the corresponding male TFC or Tiger Eye series pins. Selecting the correct male counterpart ensures proper 0.050" pitch alignment across all 94 positions without mechanical interference.
In high-speed digital backplane designs, how does the TFC-147-02-FM-D's 0.050" pitch impact signal integrity?
At 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, the TFC-147-02-FM-D contacts are closely spaced, which can increase crosstalk at signal frequencies above 500 MHz without careful differential pair routing. For applications below 200 MHz, the short stub length and controlled impedance of Tiger Eye contacts maintain signal integrity across all 94 positions without additional shielding.
When would a designer choose the TFC-147-02-FM-D over a 0.100" pitch 50-position dual-row connector for a backplane redesign?
The TFC-147-02-FM-D at 0.050" pitch accommodates 94 positions in the same 2.35-inch linear space that a 0.100" pitch connector would use for only 47 positions. When doubling signal density is required for a backplane upgrade without expanding the PCB footprint, the 94-position TFC-147-02-FM-D is the preferred choice over two separate 0.100" connectors.
