Key Features
- 88 dual-row positions at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch for very high-density PCB interconnect applications
- Tiger Eye contact design enabling low insertion force and extended service life over thousands of mating cycles
- Low-profile (LM) through-hole package minimizing vertical height in stacked or enclosure-constrained designs
- Gold-plated contacts ensuring long-term corrosion resistance and stable low-resistance connections
Applications
The TFC-144-02-LM-D-A-K is suited for high-density board-to-board interconnect in data acquisition systems, industrial automation controllers, and embedded computing platforms requiring 88 connections in a minimal 1.27 mm pitch footprint. Its low-profile height makes it ideal for stacked PCB assemblies where vertical clearance is restricted. The Tiger Eye contact system supports frequent plug-and-unplug operations in field-serviceable equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many signal connections does the TFC-144-02-LM-D-A-K provide per connector?
The TFC-144-02-LM-D-A-K provides 88 total signal positions arranged in 2 rows of 44 pins each, using a 0.050-inch (1.27 mm) pitch, making it one of the higher-density options in the SAMTEC TFC series for applications demanding many simultaneous connections in a compact area.
What PCB assembly scenarios benefit from the low-profile (LM) designation of this connector?
The LM (low-profile) designation is critical in stacked multi-board assemblies and in enclosures with strict height budgets. Compared to standard-height TFC connectors, the LM variant reduces the inter-board spacing needed, enabling tighter stack heights across 88 positions at 1.27 mm pitch in embedded and industrial system designs.
When should a designer choose TFC-144-02-LM-D-A-K over a 50-pin alternative?
Designers should select the TFC-144-02-LM-D-A-K over 50-pin alternatives when the system interface requires 88 connections simultaneously, such as in high-channel-count data acquisition, FPGA I/O expansion, or bus interconnects where the 1.27 mm pitch and dual-row layout keep the PCB footprint compact despite the elevated pin count.
