What are the key features of TFC-148-02-FM-D-A-K?
- 96-position dual-row strip at 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch provides 96 signal channels in a single connector approximately 60.9 mm long
- Tiger Eye contact mechanism ensures consistent spring-loaded mating force across all 96 positions for reliable signal integrity
- Kinked (K) lead termination self-clinches in PCB pads before reflow, holding all 96 pins in alignment during automated SMT soldering
- Cost-effective TFC family design reduces per-pin connector cost on high-channel-count boards while maintaining 1.27 mm pitch compatibility with Samtec male headers
What is TFC-148-02-FM-D-A-K used for?
The TFC-148-02-FM-D-A-K is designed for high-density board-to-board interconnects in FPGA development boards, backplane signal routing, and multi-channel data acquisition systems that require 96 channels at 1.27 mm pitch in a single connector strip. Its flat mating profile and kinked leads enable smooth SMT assembly on double-sided boards without interference from adjacent components. The Tiger Eye contacts provide secure mating with Samtec's corresponding male header series for applications with moderate insertion-cycle requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many signal channels does the TFC-148-02-FM-D-A-K support and over what connector length?
The TFC-148-02-FM-D-A-K supports 96 positions in a dual-row layout at 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch, spanning approximately 60.9 mm in board length. This makes it one of the highest-density single-strip solutions in the TFC cost-effective family, suitable for FPGA I/O expansion, parallel bus interfaces, or multi-channel sensor array connections requiring 96 discrete lines.
When is the TFC-148-02-FM-D-A-K preferable to using two smaller 48-position connectors for a 96-channel interface?
Using a single TFC-148-02-FM-D-A-K is preferable when PCB layout requires a continuous 60.9 mm strip footprint that avoids the inter-connector gap and alignment issues of two separate 48-position strips. A single 96-pin strip also eliminates one additional soldering joint row, reducing potential for solder bridging between adjacent connectors spaced less than 2 mm apart. It also simplifies BOM and component placement programming in SMT assembly.
What insertion cycle rating should I expect from the Tiger Eye contacts on the TFC-148-02-FM-D-A-K?
Samtec's Tiger Eye contact design on the TFC family is rated for approximately 100 to 200 mating cycles under standard conditions, with contact resistance maintained below 30 mΩ throughout that range. For a 96-position backplane connector that is mated only during initial board assembly and occasional maintenance, this cycle rating is more than adequate—higher cycle requirements exceeding 500 insertions should instead use the SFM series with 30 µin gold plating.
Can the TFC-148-02-FM-D-A-K be sourced in quantities suitable for a production build and what packaging does it use?
The -A suffix on the TFC-148-02-FM-D-A-K indicates tray packaging, which accommodates standard SMT tray-feeder automated assembly for production quantities. Samtec typically ships TFC series parts within 1 to 2 weeks for standard quantities, making the 96-position strip accessible for both prototype and volume production builds. For very large runs exceeding 10,000 units, contact Samtec directly to confirm tray quantities and potential tape-and-reel custom options.
