What are the key features of TFC-137-02-LM-D-K-TR?
- 74-position dual-row Tiger Eye terminal strip at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch delivers high-density signal connectivity in a minimal board footprint
- Low-profile mount (LM) configuration reduces vertical stack height for space-constrained card-cage and blade-server assemblies
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging supports fully automated pick-and-place assembly in high-volume SMT production environments
What is TFC-137-02-LM-D-K-TR used for?
The TFC-137-02-LM-D-K-TR is designed for FPGA development boards, high-density data-acquisition modules, and compact server blades requiring 74 signal connections at 0.050" pitch with minimal stack height. Its Tiger Eye spring-clip contact system simplifies cable termination for 0.050" pitch flat flexible cables without dedicated crimp tooling. The low-profile mounting suits card-cage and rack-mount equipment where vertical clearance between boards is restricted to less than 5 mm.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the contact pitch and total position count on the TFC-137-02-LM-D-K-TR?
The TFC-137-02-LM-D-K-TR provides 74 contact positions arranged in 2 rows at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, enabling 74 independent signal or power connections in a compact dual-row footprint suitable for FPGA boards and high-density data-acquisition systems.
How does the low-profile mount designation on TFC-137-02-LM-D-K-TR help in card-cage equipment designs?
The LM (low-profile mount) suffix indicates a reduced connector body height above the PCB surface, typically less than 5 mm, which is critical in card-cage, blade-server, and rack-mount designs where board-to-board clearance is constrained. This allows the TFC-137-02-LM-D-K-TR to fit between adjacent PCBs without mechanical interference at 0.050" pitch contact density.
Is TFC-137-02-LM-D-K-TR a lower-cost alternative to ZIF connectors for 74-position flat flex cable interfaces?
Yes, the Tiger Eye terminal strip series including the TFC-137-02-LM-D-K-TR is specifically marketed as a cost-effective alternative to ZIF (zero-insertion-force) connectors for 0.050" pitch flat flex cable interfaces. Across 74 positions, the Tiger Eye spring-clip contact mechanism eliminates the actuator mechanism of ZIF designs, reducing per-unit connector cost while maintaining reliable repeated insertion cycles.
