TFC-104-02-F-D-K-TR

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The TFC-104-02-F-D-K-TR is a surface-mount header from Samtec's Tiger Eye TFC series. It features an 8-position, 2-row configuration with a 0.050-inch (1.27mm) pitch. The connector utilizes phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating over nickel and is housed in black liquid crystal polymer. Rated for 350VAC and 3.1A per pin, it supports a mating cycle of 10,000 operations. Operating temperature ranges from -55°C to +125°C. This component is supplied in tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Blind mating capability provided by a shrouded four-wall housing design
• High reliability construction supporting up to 10,000 mating cycles
• Surface-mount termination optimized for automated pick-and-place processes

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections requiring blind mating
• High-density electronic assemblies utilizing surface-mount technology
• Industrial control systems operating within extended temperature ranges

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix K-TR confirms tape-and-reel packaging compatibility with your automated placement equipment. Ensure the gold plating specification meets your corrosion resistance requirements. Confirm that the 350VAC rating aligns with your circuit voltage standards. Validate that the 0.050-inch pitch matches your PCB footprint design guidelines precisely.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this model when blind mating is required for high-reliability applications. The TFC series offers cost-effective performance compared to higher-tier options. Consider the 3.1A current rating against your total power distribution needs. The LCP insulator material provides stability for reflow soldering processes without warping.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This component belongs to the Tiger Eye TFC family, designed as a cost-effective terminal strip solution. It shares the .050-inch micro-pitch architecture with other Samtec headers but focuses on economical manufacturing. The series targets general-purpose interconnects where high-volume production and reliable surface-mount assembly are primary priorities.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

The TFM-104-02-F-D-A is a related variant within the same pitch family. Verify if the TFM series shielding or different contact length requirements suit your application better. Cross-reference mechanical dimensions to ensure board space compatibility before substitution.
