Key Features
- 8 positions on 0.050-inch (1.27 mm) pitch deliver ultra-compact dual-row connectivity for space-constrained PCB designs
- Tiger Eye contact geometry provides reliable, low-insertion-force mating with positive retention for board-to-board signal connections
- Cost-effective terminal strip design reduces BOM cost while maintaining SAMTEC's quality contact finish and dimensional tolerances
Applications
The TFC-104-02-LM-D-A is designed for high-density board-to-board interconnects in compact electronics such as embedded modules, daughtercard expansions, and handheld instruments where the 0.050-inch pitch is required to meet strict size constraints. Its Tiger Eye contact technology ensures reliable signal integrity with low mating force, making it ideal for systems subject to repeated card insertions in test-and-measurement or field-replaceable module applications. The dual-row 8-position layout efficiently routes 8 signals or mixed power-and-signal lines within a minimal PCB footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pitch and position count does the TFC-104-02-LM-D-A offer for board-to-board connections?
The TFC-104-02-LM-D-A provides 8 positions arranged in a dual-row layout on a 0.050-inch (1.27 mm) pitch, enabling high-density board-to-board signal routing in space-constrained embedded module and daughtercard designs.
How does the Tiger Eye contact in the TFC-104-02-LM-D-A improve connector reliability?
The Tiger Eye contact geometry uses a cantilevered spring design that achieves positive retention and stable contact resistance below 20 mΩ even after hundreds of mate-and-unmate cycles, making it well suited for field-replaceable modules and test-and-measurement sockets that require repeatable signal fidelity.
When is the TFC-104-02-LM-D-A a better choice than a 0.100-inch pitch terminal strip for the same 8-position application?
When PCB real estate is limited to less than half the space a 0.100-inch strip would occupy, the TFC-104-02-LM-D-A's 0.050-inch pitch cuts the connector footprint by approximately 50%, enabling denser layouts in wearables, handheld instruments, and compact industrial controller boards.
