Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the TFC-134-02-LM-D-A-K provide, and what is its contact pitch?
The TFC-134-02-LM-D-A-K provides 68 positions arranged in a dual-row format at a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. This high contact density makes it well-suited for networking equipment and industrial I/O modules where many signal lines must be connected in minimal PCB area.
What does the Tiger Eye contact design offer compared to standard terminal strips?
SAMTEC's Tiger Eye contact geometry delivers reliable electrical contact at a lower cost than premium high-reliability connectors, achieving low contact resistance across all 68 positions. This makes the TFC-134-02-LM-D-A-K a practical choice for commercial-grade applications requiring hundreds of signal terminations per board without the premium cost of aerospace-grade connectors.
Which assembly process is suited for the LM tail variant of the TFC-134-02-LM-D-A-K?
The LM tail suffix indicates surface-mount termination compatible with automated reflow soldering at peak temperatures up to approximately 260°C. Pick-and-place equipment places the TFC-134-02-LM-D-A-K on standard 1.27 mm pitch land patterns before the board passes through the reflow oven, reducing assembly cost per unit in high-volume production runs.
When would a designer choose the TFC series over the SFM high-reliability series?
A designer chooses the TFC Tiger Eye series when the application is commercial-grade and cost sensitivity outweighs the need for extended mating cycle ratings. For networking or consumer electronics products, the TFC-134-02-LM-D-A-K provides 68-pin density at lower unit cost, while the SFM series is reserved for aerospace or military use where mating cycles exceed several thousand and connectors must survive temperatures from -55°C to +125°C.
