What are the key features of TFC-103-02-LM-D?

  • Tiger Eye contact design provides superior retention force and low insertion force on 1.27 mm (0.050") pitch dual-row terminal strips
  • 6-position dual-row layout in 1.27 mm pitch delivers 12 connections in a compact SMT footprint suitable for high-density PCB designs
  • Cost-effective construction with gold-plated contacts rated at 1 A per pin balances performance and budget for high-volume production

What is TFC-103-02-LM-D used for?

The TFC-103-02-LM-D is used in high-density signal routing applications where a 1.27 mm pitch dual-row terminal strip is needed on space-constrained PCBs. It suits embedded computing modules, FPGA evaluation boards, and industrial data acquisition systems requiring reliable 6-position dual-row SMT connectivity. The Tiger Eye contact system also makes it a practical choice for board-to-board interconnect solutions in test and measurement equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What pitch does the TFC-103-02-LM-D use and how many total positions does it provide?

The TFC-103-02-LM-D uses a 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch in a dual-row configuration, providing 6 total positions across 2 rows (3 per row). This 1.27 mm pitch enables high-density PCB layouts where standard 2.54 mm connectors would consume twice the board area, making it suitable for compact embedded and industrial signal routing applications.

How much current can each pin of the TFC-103-02-LM-D carry, and is it suited for power or signal use?

Each contact in the TFC-103-02-LM-D is rated at 1 A per pin, positioning it primarily as a signal-level interconnect rather than a power connector. This 1 A rating covers low-voltage logic signals, SPI, I2C, UART, and similar digital interfaces commonly used in embedded systems, FPGA boards, and instrumentation modules at operating voltages up to 100 V.

What makes the Tiger Eye contact system in the TFC-103-02-LM-D different from standard stamped contacts?

The Tiger Eye contact uses a unique stamped and formed shape that creates a wiping action during mating, removing surface oxidation and ensuring a consistent low-resistance connection over thousands of cycles. This contact geometry delivers mating forces suitable for automated test fixture applications where 1.27 mm pitch connectors must be reliably engaged and disengaged repeatedly without contact wear.

For a compact FPGA development board, what PCB footprint area does the TFC-103-02-LM-D require with its 1.27 mm pitch?

The TFC-103-02-LM-D dual-row 6-position layout at 1.27 mm pitch occupies approximately 5 mm x 3 mm of PCB footprint area, enabling 6 signal connections in a very small surface mount land pattern. This compact footprint makes it practical for FPGA mezzanine boards, module edge connectors, and any design where routing 6 signals in under 20 mm² is required.
