Key Features
- 28-position dual-row terminal strip on 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) fine pitch for compact high-density board-to-board signal routing
- Low-profile mounting (LM) option minimizing the connector stack height above the PCB surface for slim product enclosures
- Tiger Eye contact geometry providing positive wipe action and reliable mating force across all 28 positions for high-cycle applications
- Cost-effective TFC series design offering a budget-friendly alternative to premium connector families without sacrificing mechanical reliability
Applications
TFC-114-02-LM-D-A is intended for board-to-board interconnect in compact embedded modules, small single-board computers, and sensor interface daughter cards where 28 signals must pass between two boards on a 0.050 inch pitch with minimal height overhead. The low-profile mounting style reduces the total PCB stack height, making it ideal for slim tablet chassis, handheld industrial terminals, and wearable device modules. Its cost-effective Tiger Eye design suits high-volume consumer electronics and IoT gateway production.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the pin count and pitch of TFC-114-02-LM-D-A, and how are the contacts arranged?
TFC-114-02-LM-D-A provides 28 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration on 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch, with 14 contacts per row. This dual-row 0.050 inch layout carries 28 signals in roughly the same PCB length as a 14-position single-row 0.100 inch pitch connector, offering twice the density.
How does the low-profile mounting (LM) variant of TFC-114-02-LM-D-A reduce enclosure height constraints?
The low-profile mounting designation means TFC-114-02-LM-D-A sits closer to the PCB surface than standard-height TFC variants, reducing the above-board connector protrusion by several millimeters. In slim enclosures with internal heights under 10 mm, this height saving is critical for fitting both the connector and the mating board with adequate clearance.
In what scenarios is TFC-114-02-LM-D-A more appropriate than a 0.100 inch pitch 14-position connector?
TFC-114-02-LM-D-A is preferred when board real estate is limited and 28 signals are needed in the footprint of a 14-position 0.100 inch part. At 0.050 inch pitch, the connector occupies half the PCB length, freeing space for components on dense multilayer boards. The trade-off is that 0.050 inch pitch connectors require more careful PCB routing and alignment tolerances.
What mating connector family is recommended for use with TFC-114-02-LM-D-A in a board stack?
TFC-114-02-LM-D-A mates with SAMTEC TFM series 28-position female receptacles on matching 0.050 inch pitch. Selecting the correct TFM stacking height determines the inter-board gap, which can range from approximately 4 mm to over 15 mm depending on component clearance requirements between the two stacked boards.
