Key Features
- 94-position, 2-row SMT male header at 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch delivers one of the highest contact counts in the TFC cost-effective terminal strip family
- Tiger Eye contact design combined with a -K polarization key ensures reliable mating and prevents mis-insertion on densely populated boards with 47 contacts per row
- Cost-effective TFC series construction provides Tiger Eye performance for 94-position high-density interconnect applications where premium gold plating is not required
Applications
The TFC-147-02-FM-D-A-K is designed for very high density board-to-board and mezzanine interconnect in advanced embedded computing platforms, FPGA development boards, and industrial backplane systems. Its 94-position, 2-row, 1.27 mm pitch layout accommodates a large number of signal, power, and ground connections within a compact board footprint. The polarization key and surface mount termination make it straightforward to integrate into automated reflow assembly processes for volume production.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the total position count and row arrangement of the TFC-147-02-FM-D-A-K?
The TFC-147-02-FM-D-A-K provides 94 positions in a 2-row layout at 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch, with 47 contacts per row, making it one of the highest pin count options in the Samtec TFC cost-effective terminal strip series and suited to applications requiring many parallel signal lines.
Which FPGA or backplane designs can best utilize the 94-position TFC terminal strip?
FPGA mezzanine cards, industrial backplanes, and high-density SBC expansion boards that need more than 80 simultaneous signal connections can leverage the 94-position TFC-147-02-FM-D-A-K at 1.27 mm pitch, keeping the connector body under 60 mm long while maintaining the Tiger Eye contact reliability rated for -55°C to +125°C operation.
How does the -K polarization key help when multiple TFC-147 connectors populate the same PCB?
With 94 positions and a long 1.27 mm pitch body, incorrect orientation would be hard to detect visually once the board is populated. The -K polarization key creates a mechanical asymmetry that forces correct mating direction, preventing 180-degree mis-insertion during both manual and automated assembly of multiple identically sized connectors on the same board.
When is TFC-147-02-FM-D-A-K preferred over a Samtec SHF or QSH series connector with similar pin count?
Designers select the TFC-147 over SHF or QSH series when the application requires 94 positions at 1.27 mm pitch but does not need the high-speed differential pair routing, controlled impedance of 50 ohm, or high-cycle life above 100 mates that those series offer, making the TFC the cost-efficient choice for general-purpose signal distribution at this pin count.
