Frequently Asked Questions
How many circuits does the TFC-109-02-LM-D support and what is its contact pitch?
The TFC-109-02-LM-D supports 18 circuits arranged in a dual-row configuration with a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. This high-density layout provides twice the circuit density of standard 0.100" pitch connectors in the same board footprint, making it ideal for compact multilayer PCB designs.
What makes Tiger Eye contacts in the TFC-109-02-LM-D beneficial over standard stamped-and-formed contacts?
Tiger Eye contacts feature a tuning-fork contact beam design that provides consistent 100-gram minimum normal force per contact, delivering low contact resistance typically below 20 milliohms and reliable electrical continuity across the connector's rated insertion cycle life. This design reduces intermittent contact issues common in vibration-prone environments.
In which industrial or telecom applications is the TFC-109-02-LM-D most commonly deployed?
The TFC-109-02-LM-D is commonly used in telecom line cards, FPGA mezzanine boards, industrial data acquisition modules, and embedded computing backplanes where 18 signal circuits must be routed through a 1.27 mm pitch connector without exceeding tight PCB space budgets of a few square centimeters.
How does the 0.050" pitch of TFC-109-02-LM-D compare to standard 0.100" pitch connectors for the same circuit count?
At 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, the TFC-109-02-LM-D occupies roughly half the row length of an equivalent 18-position 0.100" pitch connector, reducing the required PCB footprint from approximately 45.7 mm to 22.9 mm in row length. This space saving is critical in high-density multilayer boards where routing channels are limited.
