Key Features
- 10-position dual-row layout on 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch enables compact, high-density terminal strip interconnects
- Tiger Eye contact technology delivers reliable low-insertion-force mating with standard 0.025 inch square posts
- Cost-effective terminal strip construction reduces per-contact BOM cost in high-volume production assemblies
Applications
The TFC-105-02-LM-D-A-K is designed for board-to-board and module interface applications in embedded computing, test equipment, and industrial control systems where a dense 0.050 inch pitch terminal strip is needed at competitive cost. The Tiger Eye contact design accommodates 0.025 inch square posts and provides consistent electrical contact across repeated mating cycles. Its dual-row 10-position configuration delivers 20 signal paths in a minimal PCB footprint, supporting compact daughtercard and piggyback module designs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the contact pitch and total pin count of the TFC-105-02-LM-D-A-K terminal strip?
The TFC-105-02-LM-D-A-K uses a 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch with a dual-row, 10-position-per-row arrangement, providing 20 total contacts. This 0.050 inch pitch is a widely adopted SAMTEC standard that matches 0.025 inch square-post headers, making it interchangeable with a broad range of existing mating connectors in instrumentation and embedded board designs.
How does SAMTEC Tiger Eye contact technology in the TFC-105-02-LM-D-A-K improve mating reliability?
Tiger Eye contacts use a bifurcated beam design that creates 2 independent contact points per pin, doubling the number of metal-to-metal touch points compared to a single-beam socket. This redundancy lowers the probability of intermittent connections caused by contamination or slight pin misalignment, maintaining contact resistance well below 100 mΩ across the rated insertion cycle life.
When is the TFC-105-02-LM-D-A-K a better choice than a higher-cost precision socket strip for a new PCB design?
For production designs where unit cost drives BOM decisions and mating cycles are moderate — typically under 100 insertions per connector lifetime — the TFC series cost-effective construction meets electrical and mechanical requirements at a lower price per 20-contact position than SAMTEC's high-reliability premium lines. Designers targeting 0.050 inch pitch with standard 0.025 inch square posts can substitute the TFC-105-02-LM-D-A-K without layout changes, reducing per-board connector cost in volume builds.
