What are the key features of TFC-108-02-LM-D-A?
- 16-position dual-row 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch layout achieves very high connection density for compact PCB signal routing
- Tiger Eye contact design provides consistent low insertion force mating while maintaining reliable electrical contact across all 16 positions
- Cost-effective terminal strip construction reduces BOM cost versus higher-priced fine-pitch connectors without sacrificing contact reliability
What is TFC-108-02-LM-D-A used for?
The TFC-108-02-LM-D-A is designed for high-density board-to-board and cable-to-board signal interconnects in compact embedded systems, FPGA development boards, and communication modules where 0.050" pitch connectors are required. Its 16-position dual-row layout enables efficient routing of multi-channel digital signals, SPI/I2C buses, and parallel data lines in space-constrained industrial and consumer electronics designs. The cost-effective Tiger Eye design makes it a practical choice for cost-sensitive production programs requiring reliable fine-pitch connectivity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What signal density does TFC-108-02-LM-D-A offer compared to standard 0.100" pitch connectors?
The TFC-108-02-LM-D-A uses a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, which is exactly half the spacing of standard 0.100" pitch connectors. This allows 16 positions to fit in the same board length that a 0.100" pitch connector would use for only 8 positions, effectively doubling connection density in the same PCB real estate footprint.
Can TFC-108-02-LM-D-A be used to connect SPI or parallel data buses in an FPGA development board?
Yes. With 16 positions in a dual-row 0.050" pitch layout, the TFC-108-02-LM-D-A can accommodate a complete 8-bit parallel data bus plus clock, chip-select, and ground lines, or alternatively two independent 4-wire SPI interfaces simultaneously, making it well suited for FPGA prototype boards and high-speed digital signal routing between daughterboards.
What mechanical advantage does the Tiger Eye contact design in TFC-108-02-LM-D-A provide during repeated mating cycles?
The Tiger Eye contact design used in TFC-108-02-LM-D-A maintains consistent spring-force contact across all 16 positions with low insertion force, typically under 0.5 N per pin. This design tolerates hundreds of mating cycles without significant contact wear, which is important for frequently accessed debug headers and test interface connectors on production PCBs.
For a cost-sensitive IoT module design, how does TFC-108-02-LM-D-A compare to premium high-frequency fine-pitch connectors?
The TFC-108-02-LM-D-A is positioned as a cost-effective terminal strip, offering significant price savings compared to impedance-controlled fine-pitch connectors rated above 1 GHz. For IoT module designs with signal frequencies below 100 MHz on a 1.27 mm pitch layout, it provides adequate electrical performance at lower cost, reducing per-unit BOM expense on 16-position interface connections.
