Key Features
- 98-position dual-row configuration at 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch for maximum contact density
- Right-angle surface-mount termination enabling horizontal cable routing at PCB edge
- Tiger Eye low-insertion-force contacts for reliable and repeatable signal connections
- Cost-effective terminal strip construction designed for high-volume SMT assembly
Applications
The TFC-149-02-LM-D-A-K is used in very high-density right-angle board-edge applications for FPGA expansion boards, high-channel-count data acquisition systems, and parallel interface modules requiring 98 connections within a compact 1.27mm pitch footprint. Its horizontal right-angle termination makes it ideal for slim chassis and panel-edge interfaces where cables must route parallel to the PCB surface. Tiger Eye contacts provide consistent low-resistance connections across many mating cycles in industrial and instrumentation environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the contact count and arrangement in the SAMTEC TFC-149-02-LM-D-A-K?
The TFC-149-02-LM-D-A-K has 98 contact positions in a dual-row arrangement at 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch, with 49 pins per row. This configuration supports 98 independent signal or power connections in a right-angle surface-mount package, enabling very high-density board-edge interfaces in compact PCB designs.
Why choose the right-angle TFC-149-02-LM-D-A-K over a vertical-mount 98-position connector?
The right-angle TFC-149-02-LM-D-A-K is chosen when cable assemblies must exit the PCB horizontally rather than vertically, reducing connector height above the board to a minimum. In slim enclosures, rack units, or panel-mount instruments where vertical clearance is under 10mm, the right-angle variant keeps 98 signal lines within mechanical constraints that a vertical connector would violate.
Which parallel bus or high-channel interface designs match the TFC-149-02-LM-D-A-K's 98-pin count?
The 98-pin count suits designs carrying a 96-bit parallel bus with 2 ground or control pins, high-channel-count ADC front ends with 96 or more analog inputs, FPGA I/O expansion backplanes, and 98-conductor ribbon cable harnesses used in medical imaging and scientific instrumentation. The 0.050" pitch accommodates these channel counts in roughly half the PCB footprint needed by 2.54mm pitch connectors.
What flat cable standards are compatible with the TFC-149-02-LM-D-A-K, and how easy is sourcing?
The TFC-149-02-LM-D-A-K mates with standard 1.27mm pitch flat flexible cables (FFC) and flat printed cables (FPC) in 98-conductor configurations. These cables are available from major cable suppliers including Molex, Amphenol, and TE Connectivity, and are stocked by global distributors, making procurement straightforward for both small prototype orders and large production runs.
