Key Features
- 16-position dual-row Tiger Eye terminal strip on 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch for compact high-density board interconnects
- Locking (-K) feature provides mechanical retention preventing accidental disconnection in vibration environments
- Cost-effective Tiger Eye stamped contact system reduces per-pin cost while maintaining reliable signal integrity
Applications
The TFC-108-02-LM-D-A-K is used in compact board-to-board signal routing for applications including embedded computing modules, industrial sensor interfaces, and communication daughter cards requiring 16 signal connections on a 0.050" pitch. Its locking retention feature ensures reliable mating in systems subject to vibration or mechanical stress. The low-profile dual-row design minimizes PCB footprint while maximizing contact count for tight-space electronic assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the contact arrangement and pitch of the TFC-108-02-LM-D-A-K?
The TFC-108-02-LM-D-A-K has 16 positions in a dual-row configuration with 8 contacts per row, on a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. This compact layout supports efficient signal routing in board-to-board applications where minimizing connector footprint is important.
When is the TFC-108-02-LM-D-A-K a better choice than a non-locking 16-position connector?
The -K locking suffix should be selected when the application involves vibration, shock loads, or frequent plug-unplug cycles that may cause unintended disconnection. Applications such as industrial control modules, portable instruments, and robotics benefit from the added mechanical security of the locking retention on this 16-position, 0.050" pitch connector.
How does the TFC-108-02-LM-D-A-K enable cost savings in high-volume connector procurement?
Samtec's Tiger Eye contact system uses cost-optimized stamped contacts rather than precision-machined alternatives, reducing the per-pin cost significantly in volume orders. For a 16-position connector on 0.050" pitch, this translates to measurable bill-of-materials savings on production runs of thousands or more units compared to premium socket alternatives.
