Key Features
- 6-position dual-row terminal strip on 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch delivers 12 total contacts in a minimal PCB footprint
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging supports automated high-speed pick-and-place assembly for production volumes
- Tiger Eye bifurcated contact design offers 2 independent contact points per pin for robust signal reliability across repeated mating cycles
Applications
The TFC-103-02-LM-D-A-K-TR is suited for small board-to-board interface applications in consumer electronics, IoT modules, and compact embedded systems where a 0.050 inch pitch 6-position terminal strip provides a reliable, low-cost mating point for daughtercards or sensor modules. Its tape-and-reel packaging enables seamless integration into SMT assembly lines, minimizing manual handling for high-volume production runs. The Tiger Eye contact system mates with standard 0.025 inch square-post headers, maintaining consistent electrical continuity in space-constrained PCB designs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the total pin count and pitch of the TFC-103-02-LM-D-A-K-TR terminal strip?
The TFC-103-02-LM-D-A-K-TR provides 12 total contacts arranged as 6 positions per row across 2 rows, on a 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch. This compact 12-contact configuration is common in small sensor-module sockets, SPI and I2C daughtercard interfaces, and miniature backplane connectors where few signal lines need a reliable, reusable mating interface.
Does the tape-and-reel packaging of TFC-103-02-LM-D-A-K-TR support standard SMT pick-and-place equipment?
Yes, the TR suffix confirms the TFC-103-02-LM-D-A-K-TR ships on a standard EIA-481-compliant tape-and-reel carrier. This format is directly compatible with all major SMT pick-and-place systems, allowing automated component placement at line speeds exceeding 10,000 placements per hour without manual loading, significantly lowering assembly cost compared to tube or tray packaging for production runs above 500 units.
What mating post size is required for the TFC-103-02-LM-D-A-K-TR, and which SAMTEC header families are compatible?
The Tiger Eye contacts in the TFC-103-02-LM-D-A-K-TR are designed to mate with 0.025 inch (0.635 mm) square posts. Compatible mating headers include the SAMTEC TSM, TFM, and SFM series as well as many standard square-post strip headers from other manufacturers using the same 0.050 inch pitch and 0.025 inch post dimension, ensuring broad interoperability across mixed-vendor PCB assemblies.
