Key Features
- 24-position dual-row layout at 1.27 mm pitch provides 24 signal channels in a low-profile strip approximately 15.2 mm long
- Tiger Eye contact design delivers spring-loaded reliable mating with consistent normal force across all 24 positions
- Low-profile mating (LM) body style reduces stacking height for slim board-to-board assemblies in space-constrained enclosures
- Kinked (K) lead termination self-clinches in PCB holes or pads before reflow, minimizing connector shift during SMT soldering
Applications
The TFC-112-02-LM-D-A-K is ideal for compact board-to-board interconnects in handheld instrumentation, IoT gateway modules, and low-profile embedded controllers requiring 24 signal channels at 1.27 mm pitch. The low-profile mating height makes it suitable for slim stacked-board assemblies where overall system height must be minimized, such as wearable electronics or thin industrial handheld scanners. Its Tiger Eye contacts provide reliable connections in applications with moderate insertion-cycle requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the low-profile mating (LM) feature of the TFC-112-02-LM-D-A-K reduce board stack height?
The LM (low-profile mating) designation means the TFC-112-02-LM-D-A-K uses a shorter housing body that reduces the mated board-to-board stack height by approximately 1 mm to 2 mm compared to standard-profile TFC variants. In a slim handheld device or wearable electronics design, this reduction can be critical when total PCB stack thickness must stay under 10 mm to fit within a compact enclosure.
What is the pin count and pitch of the TFC-112-02-LM-D-A-K and what interface density does it support?
The TFC-112-02-LM-D-A-K provides 24 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration at 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch. The strip spans approximately 15.2 mm in length and supports 24 independent signal or power channels, which is sufficient for microcontroller expansion headers, sensor module interfaces, or small LCD display data buses in embedded designs requiring moderate I/O density.
How does the TFC-112-02-LM-D-A-K compare to the TFC-114-02-LM-D-A-K for a design requiring fewer than 30 channels?
When a design requires 24 channels or fewer, the TFC-112-02-LM-D-A-K is the preferred choice over the TFC-114-02-LM-D-A-K (28 positions) because it avoids unneeded positions that waste PCB area and increase BOM cost per unit. Both share the same 1.27 mm pitch, low-profile mating height, and kinked lead termination, so PCB footprints differ only in length—approximately 15.2 mm for the 24-position versus 17.8 mm for the 28-position strip.
Is the TFC-112-02-LM-D-A-K suitable for IoT or wearable designs with limited PCB space and infrequent board swaps?
Yes, the TFC-112-02-LM-D-A-K is well-matched to IoT gateways and wearable sensor platforms that are assembled once or reconfigured fewer than 50 times during their service life. The Tiger Eye contact maintains reliable electrical contact over that cycle range, the 1.27 mm pitch keeps the 24-pin footprint under 16 mm × 3 mm, and the low-profile LM body minimizes the height penalty in thin enclosures measuring as little as 8 mm in total board-to-cover clearance.
