What are the key features of TFC-106-02-FM-D-A?
- 12 positions dual-row female mid-mount configuration at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch with keying-assist (A) polarization preventing incorrect mating in board-to-board applications
- Tiger Eye 4-point wiping contact technology delivering consistent low contact resistance and reliable signal integrity across repeated mating cycles
- Mid-mount (FM) housing variant enabling lower mated height profiles compared to standard through-mount configurations, suitable for height-constrained stacked PCB assemblies
What is TFC-106-02-FM-D-A used for?
The TFC-106-02-FM-D-A is ideal for low-profile board-to-board stacking applications in embedded modules, SOM carrier boards, and miniature sensor nodes where 12 dual-row signals must be connected with precise alignment at 0.050" pitch. Its keying-assist feature ensures correct orientation during manual and automated board assembly, reducing costly mismate damage. The female mid-mount configuration allows lower stack heights in compact multi-board systems such as handheld instruments and IoT gateway modules.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the TFC-106-02-FM-D-A female mid-mount variant suitable for low-profile stacked PCB designs?
The FM (female mid-mount) designation means the connector body is positioned closer to the PCB surface, reducing the overall mated stack height compared to standard through-mount housings. For 12-position dual-row board-to-board connections at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, this enables slimmer multi-board assemblies in wearable devices, camera modules, and compact IoT hardware.
How does the keying-assist feature of TFC-106-02-FM-D-A prevent assembly errors?
The 'A' suffix indicates a keying-assist polarization feature, which mechanically guides the mating connector into the correct orientation. For a 12-position dual-row connector at 0.050" pitch, even a 1-pin offset can short adjacent signals, so the keying feature is critical in preventing reverse-insertion damage during both manual prototype assembly and automated production.
For a 12-position board-to-board interface at 0.050-inch pitch, when is TFC-106-02-FM-D-A preferred over a taller standard-mount Tiger Eye variant?
The TFC-106-02-FM-D-A mid-mount variant is preferred when the mated stack height budget is tight, such as in industrial handheld scanners or medical wearables with thickness constraints under 10 mm. It routes 12 dual-row signals at 1.27 mm pitch with a lower board separation than standard-mount versions, making it the right choice wherever every millimeter of vertical clearance is critical.
