Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the TFC-148-02-L-D-A-K-TR have and what is its contact pitch?
The TFC-148-02-L-D-A-K-TR features 96 total positions arranged in a dual-row format on a 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch. This high-density configuration provides 48 contacts per row, enabling large pin count interconnects in a compact connector footprint. The 0.050 inch pitch is a widely adopted standard in board-to-board and terminal strip applications in telecommunications and computing equipment.
What is the Tiger Eye contact technology in the TFC-148-02-L-D-A-K-TR and how does it reduce costs?
SAMTEC's Tiger Eye contact technology uses a stamped and formed contact design that achieves reliable mating force and electrical performance at lower manufacturing cost compared to machined-pin alternatives. For the TFC-148-02-L-D-A-K-TR's 96-position configuration, Tiger Eye contacts reduce per-unit connector cost while maintaining rated contact resistance below typical 100 mΩ thresholds, making it suitable for digital signal and low-power supply routing in cost-sensitive production programs.
Why is tape-and-reel packaging important for the TFC-148-02-L-D-A-K-TR in automated assembly?
The TR (tape-and-reel) suffix on the TFC-148-02-L-D-A-K-TR indicates the connector is packaged for automated pick-and-place assembly using standard SMT equipment. Tape-and-reel packaging eliminates manual placement of the 96-position connector, reducing assembly cycle time and placement errors in high-volume production. Standard reel quantities typically run 500 to 1000 pieces per reel, supporting continuous SMT line operation without frequent reloads.
In what types of systems is the TFC-148-02-L-D-A-K-TR most commonly used as a backplane or expansion connector?
The TFC-148-02-L-D-A-K-TR is commonly used in server backplanes, FPGA development boards, and industrial PLC expansion racks where 96 or more signals must be routed between boards in a compact form factor. The dual-row 0.050 inch pitch format carries both digital I/O lines and low-voltage power rails simultaneously, accommodating mixed-signal systems operating at 3.3 V or 5 V logic levels within a single 96-pin connector body.
