Frequently Asked Questions
What is the pin count and row arrangement of the TFC-149-02-FM-D-A-K?
The TFC-149-02-FM-D-A-K features 98 total positions arranged in 2 rows of 49 contacts each, with a 0.050-inch (1.27 mm) pitch. This high pin count makes it one of the largest connectors in the Samtec TFC series and suitable for very dense signal routing.
How does a 98-pin 0.050-inch pitch connector compare to multiple smaller connectors for the same signal count?
A single TFC-149 with 98 pins at 0.050-inch pitch consolidates connections that would otherwise require four or more standard 26-pin connectors, reducing PCB footprint by over 60 percent and simplifying cable routing. Fewer connectors also means fewer potential failure points and lower total assembly cost.
Which high-complexity board designs benefit most from the TFC-149-02-FM-D-A-K?
FPGA carrier boards, multi-channel ADC/DAC modules, and high-speed memory expansion cards with 64 or more parallel data lines are ideal candidates for the TFC-149-02-FM-D-A-K. The 98-pin capacity at 0.050-inch pitch accommodates wide data buses, multiple power rails, and control signals in a single compact connector.
