Key Features
- 70-position dual-row layout on .050-inch pitch provides high signal density in a compact surface-mount footprint
- Tiger Eye contact technology delivers reliable spring-beam mating with consistent normal force across 70 positions
- Cost-effective design reduces BOM cost for high-volume applications without sacrificing contact reliability or pitch density
Applications
The TFC-135-02-LM-D-A-K serves as a cost-efficient board-to-board terminal strip for instrumentation, test equipment, and embedded computing modules that require 70 low-pitch connections. Its Tiger Eye contact design and .050-inch pitch make it well-suited for mezzanine expansions, signal routing cards, and data acquisition systems where cost and density are both critical selection factors.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many electrical connections does the TFC-135-02-LM-D-A-K provide across its dual-row layout?
The TFC-135-02-LM-D-A-K provides 70 positions in a dual-row configuration on a .050-inch (1.27 mm) pitch, allowing up to 70 individual signal or power connections in a compact footprint. This makes it practical for dense instrumentation and embedded module interfaces where space is at a premium.
What distinguishes Tiger Eye contact technology in the TFC-135-02-LM-D-A-K from standard pin-and-socket designs?
Tiger Eye contacts use a precision-formed spring beam that exerts consistent normal force against the mating terminal over the full 70-position strip. This provides lower contact resistance and more repeatable mating compared to conventional stamped contacts, supporting reliable signal integrity at .050-inch pitch across many insertion and extraction cycles.
For which cost-sensitive board-to-board applications is TFC-135-02-LM-D-A-K a practical choice over higher-performance SAMTEC alternatives?
TFC-135-02-LM-D-A-K is a practical choice for test fixtures, industrial sensor boards, and prototype modules where 70 signals at .050-inch pitch are needed but signal speeds are moderate and budget constraints make premium high-speed connectors unnecessary. The Tiger Eye strip balances reliable contact performance with a lower unit cost compared to SAMTEC's SEARAY or high-speed mezzanine families.
