Key Features
- 96-position dual-row configuration at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch for high-density interconnection
- Tiger Eye contact system delivers high-reliability mating with low insertion force across multiple cycles
- Left-angle mating orientation enables space-saving PCB layout in height-constrained designs
Applications
The TFC-148-02-LM-D-A is suited for high-density board-to-board interconnect applications in data communications, industrial control, and embedded computing equipment. Its 96-position dual-row layout at 0.050" pitch maximizes contact density while minimizing PCB footprint. The left-angle mating direction makes it an ideal choice for backplane and card-edge designs where vertical clearance is limited.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many total positions does the TFC-148-02-LM-D-A provide and at what pitch?
The TFC-148-02-LM-D-A provides 96 total contact positions arranged in a dual-row configuration at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. This combination of high position count and fine pitch makes it ideal for dense data bus or signal routing applications on compact PCBs.
What does the LM designation indicate about the TFC-148-02-LM-D-A mating direction?
The LM designation indicates a left-angle mating orientation for the TFC-148-02-LM-D-A. This allows the mating connector to engage from the side rather than vertically, which is particularly useful in designs with restricted vertical clearance, such as chassis-mounted board stacks or backplane assemblies within a 2-inch height envelope.
In which system types is the TFC-148-02-LM-D-A Tiger Eye terminal strip most commonly used?
The TFC-148-02-LM-D-A is commonly deployed in data communications equipment, industrial automation controllers, and embedded computing modules where 96 positions at 0.050" pitch are needed. Its Tiger Eye contact technology supports reliable mating over hundreds of insertion cycles, making it suitable for field-replaceable circuit board assemblies.
Is the TFC-148-02-LM-D-A compliant with RoHS environmental regulations?
SAMTEC TFC-series connectors including the TFC-148-02-LM-D-A are designed to meet RoHS environmental compliance requirements. The termination finish typically uses tin (Sn) over nickel (Ni) barrier, which is compatible with lead-free soldering processes at standard reflow temperatures of approximately 260°C peak.
