Key Features
- 10-position, 2-row SMT male header at 1.27 mm pitch with a 0.375 inch body length provides a minimal footprint for low pin count board interconnect
- Phosphor bronze contacts with 3 µin gold mating finish deliver a balance of mechanical resilience and corrosion resistance at a cost-effective price point
- Tiger Eye contact geometry ensures low insertion force and reliable signal continuity for 10-position compact terminal strip applications across -55°C to +125°C
Applications
The TFC-105-02-FM-D-A suits very compact PCB-to-PCB or daughter board interface applications where only 10 signal connections are required within an extremely small 0.375 inch body. It is commonly used in miniature sensor modules, small embedded processors, and consumer electronics where board space is at a premium and a low-profile SMT male connector at 1.27 mm pitch is preferred. The gold mating finish ensures consistent connectivity even with low mating forces typical in compact assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What contact material and mating finish does the TFC-105-02-FM-D-A use?
The TFC-105-02-FM-D-A uses phosphor bronze contacts with a 3 µin gold mating finish and a tin-over-nickel termination, providing a balance of spring resilience, corrosion resistance, and solderability for a 10-position, 1.27 mm pitch SMT terminal strip.
For which miniature sensor or embedded module designs is a 10-position, 1.27 mm pitch SMT connector ideal?
The TFC-105-02-FM-D-A is ideal for miniature IMU sensor breakout boards, compact wireless module interfaces, and small embedded MCU daughter cards where only 10 signals need routing between PCBs across an operating temperature of -55°C to +125°C, with a connector body as short as 0.375 inches (9.5 mm).
What is the body size of the TFC-105-02-FM-D-A, and why does it matter for space-constrained PCB layouts?
The TFC-105-02-FM-D-A body measures 0.375 inch long by 0.225 inch wide by 0.226 inch deep, making it one of the smallest 10-position, 2-row connectors in the 1.27 mm pitch class, allowing it to fit in PCB areas where larger connectors such as 2.0 mm pitch or DIP-style headers would not be feasible.
How does the TFC-105-02-FM-D-A differ from a comparable Samtec SFM-105 or FLE-105 series connector?
The TFC-105-02-FM-D-A provides the same 10-position, 1.27 mm pitch, 2-row SMT male layout as the SFM and FLE series but uses a 3 µin gold mating finish rather than 10 µin or higher, and phosphor bronze rather than beryllium copper, making it a cost-effective option for designs needing fewer than 100 mate/unmate cycles.
