Key Features
- 60 positions at 0.050 inch pitch in a 1.625 inch body delivers high signal density for compact mezzanine designs
- Gold-on-nickel (Au on Ni) mating contact finish ensures low contact resistance and corrosion resistance for reliable long-term connections
- Positioning pin on PCB mounting ensures accurate alignment during board assembly, reducing misplacement errors
Applications
TFC-130-02-LM-D-A-K-TR is used in cost-sensitive board stacking applications, daughter card connections, and module interfaces requiring 60 signals at 0.050 inch pitch without the premium cost of high-cycle-count connectors. Its Tiger Eye contact design provides reliable signal paths in industrial computing, networking equipment, and embedded systems where moderate insertion cycles are expected. The tape and reel packaging enables seamless integration into automated SMT production lines for volume manufacturing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Tiger Eye contact design in TFC-130-02-LM-D-A-K-TR contribute to connection reliability?
The Tiger Eye contact design uses a bifurcated contact geometry that creates two independent contact points per pin, providing redundant contact paths that compensate for minor surface contamination or misalignment. This dual-wipe action maintains low contact resistance across 60 positions during mating, improving signal integrity compared to single-beam contacts in the same 0.050 inch pitch space.
How does the gold-on-nickel contact finish of TFC-130-02-LM-D-A-K-TR affect signal performance in low-current applications?
TFC-130-02-LM-D-A-K-TR uses gold (Au) on nickel (Ni) mating contact finish, which provides contact resistance typically below 20 milliohms per pin even at low signal currents where base metal contacts would exhibit higher resistance due to oxide formation. The gold finish also prevents fretting corrosion in vibrating environments, maintaining stable 60-channel signal transmission over the connector's service life.
Is TFC-130-02-LM-D-A-K-TR a cost-effective alternative to high-reliability socket strips for moderate-cycle-count applications?
Yes, TFC-130-02-LM-D-A-K-TR is designed as a cost-effective 60-position 0.050 inch pitch terminal strip for applications needing fewer than 50 mating cycles, offering a lower per-unit price compared to SAMTEC's SFM high-reliability series rated for 100 or more cycles. For production-inserted daughter cards or one-time board assembly with 60 signal lines, TFC-130-02-LM-D-A-K-TR provides the required gold contact quality at reduced cost.
