Key Features
- 94 positions in a dual-row 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch format for maximum density signal interconnect
- FM (flush-mount) contact style provides a low-profile mating interface ideal for height-constrained assemblies
- Tiger Eye dual-beam contacts deliver reliable signal integrity across high cycle-count mating operations
Applications
The TFC-147-02-FM-D-A is suited for high-density board-to-board interconnect in server backplanes, FPGA daughter cards, and test-and-measurement systems requiring 94 signal lines within a compact 1.27 mm pitch footprint. Its flush-mount contact style minimizes connector stack height, enabling slim system designs where vertical clearance is limited to a few millimeters above the PCB surface.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 94-position count of TFC-147-02-FM-D-A compare to lower-position TFC variants for FPGA expansion applications?
With 94 positions at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, the TFC-147-02-FM-D-A provides 47 signals per row, making it appropriate for wide FPGA I/O buses where mid-range variants like the 18-position TFC-109 would require multiple connectors. The 94-pin configuration covers typical 72-bit DDR memory interfaces plus additional control lines in a single mating pair.
What does the FM suffix indicate about the TFC-147-02-FM-D-A contact style and how does it affect PCB height?
The FM suffix denotes flush-mount contacts, which sit nearly flush with the connector body surface and reduce the overall mated height compared to standard extended-contact styles. For designs with board-to-board spacing under 5 mm, the flush-mount geometry allows reliable 94-position signal routing without requiring custom low-profile housing modifications.
Can TFC-147-02-FM-D-A be used in place of a higher-pitch 94-position connector to reduce board space in industrial controllers?
Yes, the 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch of the TFC-147-02-FM-D-A occupies roughly half the board footprint length of an equivalent 2.54 mm pitch connector carrying the same 94 positions. In a constrained industrial controller with less than 120 mm × 100 mm PCB area, this pitch reduction can free 60 mm or more of board length for additional circuitry.
