Frequently Asked Questions

How many signal connections does the TFC-147-02-L-D-A provide, and how does this compare to smaller TFC variants?

The TFC-147-02-L-D-A provides 94 positions in a dual-row layout at 0.050-inch pitch, offering 47 contacts per row. This is among the largest position counts in the standard TFC series and provides 44 additional connections compared to a 50-position variant, all within the same 0.050-inch pitch footprint and compatible mating system. For applications needing more than 80 signal lines, the TFC-147 eliminates the need for multiple smaller connectors.

In which system architectures is the TFC-147-02-L-D-A most commonly used for mezzanine interconnect?

The TFC-147-02-L-D-A is commonly deployed in high-bandwidth communications line cards, FPGA daughter-board interfaces carrying parallel bus and I/O signals, and large embedded computing modules where 94 or more board-to-board connections must be made in a single connector footprint at 0.050-inch pitch. Its Tiger Eye contact design supports signal frequencies well above 100 MHz, suitable for high-speed parallel interfaces in these demanding architectures.

What contact reliability can be expected from the Tiger Eye contacts in the TFC-147-02-L-D-A over its service life?

The Tiger Eye contacts use a dual-beam spring design that provides 2 independent contact points and a wiping action during mating. This maintains contact resistance below 20 mΩ across a typical service life exceeding 500 mating cycles. Gold plating on the mating surface resists oxidation, ensuring consistent performance even in environments with moderate humidity and temperature cycling between -55 °C and +125 °C.

Can the TFC-147-02-L-D-A be assembled using standard SMT processes, and what reflow temperature does it support?

Yes. The TFC-147-02-L-D-A uses surface mount termination with a tin finish compatible with standard lead-free reflow soldering profiles peaking at 260 °C. Its 94-position dual-row footprint can be placed by automated pick-and-place systems. The connector's 0.050-inch pitch and rectangular contact pattern align with established SMT design rules, supporting reliable solder joints across all 94 positions in high-volume production.
