Key Features
- 12-position dual-row configuration at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch provides compact signal routing in a minimal PCB footprint
- Left-angle (LM) mating orientation reduces board height stack and supports low-profile chassis-mounted interconnect designs
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging combined with keying enables automated pick-and-place assembly with built-in error-proof mating
Applications
The TFC-106-02-LM-D-A-K-TR is designed for high-volume automated assembly of compact embedded systems requiring 12-position low-profile board-to-board interconnection at 0.050" pitch. The left-angle mating direction suits applications where vertical board clearance is restricted, such as stacked-module systems in industrial IoT devices and portable instruments. Its keyed design and tape-and-reel packaging make it ideal for SMT production lines requiring error-proof connector placement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What position count and pitch does the TFC-106-02-LM-D-A-K-TR offer for board-to-board interconnection?
The TFC-106-02-LM-D-A-K-TR provides 12 total contact positions in a dual-row arrangement with 6 positions per row at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. This compact configuration is suitable for routing small signal buses or mixed power-and-signal groups between two PCBs in space-constrained embedded designs such as wearable devices or compact industrial sensor modules.
How does the left-angle (LM) mating on the TFC-106-02-LM-D-A-K-TR benefit low-clearance board designs?
The left-angle mating orientation allows the mating connector to engage from the side rather than top-down, reducing the required vertical clearance above the connector by the full mating height. In stacked PCB assemblies with less than 5 mm inter-board spacing, the left-angle approach enables connections that vertical connectors cannot accommodate without requiring additional board separation.
Why would a manufacturer choose the TR (tape-and-reel) version of the TFC-106-02-LM-D-A-K-TR for production?
The tape-and-reel version supports automated SMT pick-and-place assembly by providing connectors in a standardized carrier tape format compatible with IEC 60286 feeders. For production runs of thousands of units, TR packaging reduces manual handling time, eliminates tray-to-feeder loading steps, and maintains consistent part orientation for robotic placement of the 12-position connector with sub-millimeter accuracy.
In which embedded or industrial applications is the TFC-106-02-LM-D-A-K-TR most commonly used?
This connector is commonly used in industrial IoT sensor modules, compact PLC expansion boards, handheld test instruments, and embedded computing daughter cards where 12 signals at 0.050" pitch are needed with minimal vertical clearance. The combination of Tiger Eye contact reliability, keying, and left-angle mating makes it especially suitable for field-replaceable modules in equipment exposed to vibration or requiring frequent maintenance access.
