Key Features
- 6-position dual-row layout at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch delivering high-density board-to-board signal connectivity in the compact Tiger Eye terminal strip form factor
- Tin (Sn) over Nickel (Ni) barrier male contacts with JESD-609 e3 RoHS-compliant lead-free finish ensuring reliable solderability and environmental compliance
- Cost-effective Tiger Eye design providing reliable low-insertion-force mating in a standard through-hole footprint for prototyping and production use
Applications
The TFC-103-02-FM-D is used in compact embedded modules, development boards, and signal-routing PCBs where a 6-position dual-row 0.050 inch pitch terminal strip provides economical and reliable board-to-cable or board-to-board connections. Its through-hole mounting and low-profile design make it suitable for IoT edge devices, sensor breakout boards, and test fixtures requiring a compact 1.27 mm pitch connector. The Tiger Eye contact design ensures consistent electrical performance across repeated mating cycles in engineering prototypes and production assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the pitch and position count of the TFC-103-02-FM-D terminal strip?
The TFC-103-02-FM-D is a 6-position dual-row terminal strip with a 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch, accommodating 3 positions per row in the Tiger Eye format, making it a compact and cost-effective choice for board-to-board or board-to-cable connections in space-constrained embedded and IoT PCB designs.
What contact plating and environmental compliance does the TFC-103-02-FM-D offer?
The TFC-103-02-FM-D uses tin (Sn) plating over a nickel (Ni) barrier on its male contacts and carries a JESD-609 e3 RoHS-compliant lead-free code, ensuring reliable solderability, corrosion resistance across 6 positions, and compliance with European and global environmental directives for commercial and industrial electronics.
How does the Tiger Eye design of the TFC-103-02-FM-D benefit prototyping and low-cost production applications?
The Tiger Eye contact design in the TFC-103-02-FM-D provides a cost-effective alternative to gold-plated connectors by using a carefully engineered tin contact geometry that maintains consistent mating reliability across 6 positions while reducing material cost, making it well-suited for development boards, breakout modules, and production designs with moderate insertion cycle requirements.
Which SAMTEC mating connector families are compatible with the TFC-103-02-FM-D?
The TFC-103-02-FM-D at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch is compatible with SAMTEC's Tiger Eye cable socket and receptacle families, enabling designers to pair the 6-position dual-row board connector with standard SAMTEC 1.27 mm pitch mating housings and crimp contacts for complete cable assembly solutions in compact PCB-to-wire connection scenarios.
