Key Features
- 100-position dual-row low-profile SMT terminal strip at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch for ultra-high-density board-to-board connections
- Tiger Eye cost-effective design reduces BOM cost on high pin-count connectors without sacrificing SAMTEC dimensional quality
- Low-profile (LM) mount minimizes connector height above the PCB for slim, stacked, and space-constrained assemblies
- 50 contacts per row enables routing of up to 100 signal lines across boards in a single compact footprint
Applications
The TFC-150-02-LM-D-A is deployed in ultra-high-density board-to-board interconnect applications such as FPGA I/O expansion boards, high-channel-count data acquisition systems, and multi-lane telecommunications line cards. Its 100-position dual-row 0.050" pitch design consolidates 100 signal connections in a low-profile SMT footprint, enabling compact stacked board architectures. Engineers in defense electronics, industrial automation, and medical imaging systems use this connector when maximum signal density and minimal board clearance are simultaneously required.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the TFC-150-02-LM-D-A suitable for stacked board assemblies with tight vertical clearance?
The TFC-150-02-LM-D-A uses a low-profile (LM) surface mount termination that keeps the connector's height above the PCB surface to a minimum, typically under 2 mm. For a 100-position dual-row 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch connector, this low-profile design allows two boards to be stacked closer together than with standard-height connectors, making it ideal for compact mezzanine assemblies, slim embedded computing modules, and space-constrained enclosures where vertical board spacing is limited.
How does the 100-position TFC-150-02-LM-D-A compare to using two separate 50-position connectors on a high-density design?
Using the TFC-150-02-LM-D-A as a single 100-position connector instead of two separate 50-position connectors simplifies PCB layout by eliminating the gap and alignment tolerances between two connector bodies. The single 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch dual-row strip provides 50 contacts per row in a continuous footprint, reduces component count by 1 part, and ensures a single mating action connects all 100 signals simultaneously, improving assembly efficiency and reducing the risk of partial unmating in vibration-prone environments.
For which high-channel-count signal routing scenarios is the TFC-150-02-LM-D-A most cost-effective?
The TFC-150-02-LM-D-A is most cost-effective in designs requiring 100 or fewer signal channels routed between two PCBs, such as 64-bit or 96-bit parallel data buses, 48-channel analog multiplexer inputs, or multi-rail power-plus-signal mixed board interfaces. As a Tiger Eye series part, its per-unit cost is lower than premium SAMTEC lines, making it attractive for mid-volume production of FPGA daughter cards, test equipment motherboards, or high-density backplane interfaces where the 0.050" pitch saves significant board area compared to 0.100" alternatives.
