What are the key features of TFM-102-13-FM-D?
- 4-position dual-row (D) configuration at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch for high-density designs
- Tiger Eye high-reliability contact system providing low insertion force and long cycle life
- Female mating (FM) contacts with gold plating for low contact resistance and corrosion resistance
- Compact fine-pitch footprint ideal for space-constrained mezzanine board interconnects
- Compatible with SAMTEC SFM and TSM mating series at the same 1.27 mm pitch
What is TFM-102-13-FM-D used for?
The TFM-102-13-FM-D is used in compact mezzanine board stacks, small form-factor embedded modules, and test-point access connectors where a fine 0.050 inch pitch is needed to fit 4 dual-row positions in a minimal PCB area. Its Tiger Eye contact geometry also makes it a popular choice for ruggedized defense electronics, instrument probe interfaces, and any application demanding reliable multi-cycle mating at the 1.27 mm pitch standard.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Tiger Eye contact design offer in TFM-102-13-FM-D compared to standard socket contacts?
SAMTEC's Tiger Eye contact geometry uses a dual-beam wiping action that self-cleans the mating pin surface during insertion, achieving reliable electrical contact even after hundreds of mating cycles. The design maintains low contact resistance, typically below 20 milliohms, and suits high-reliability applications such as defense avionics, medical instruments, and industrial test equipment that require repeatable interconnect performance over the product lifetime.
How compact is the TFM-102-13-FM-D footprint, and how many positions does it carry?
The TFM-102-13-FM-D provides 4 positions in a dual-row D layout at a 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch, making its PCB footprint extremely compact. The two rows are spaced at the 1.27 mm grid, so the total occupied board area is less than 4 mm in the row direction, enabling designers to route 4 dual-row signals in a space that a single 0.100 inch pitch connector would use for just 2 positions.
Which SAMTEC mating headers are compatible with TFM-102-13-FM-D for a board-stacking application?
The TFM-102-13-FM-D female strip mates with SAMTEC TSM or TMS series terminal strips of the same 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch and dual-row count. Designers should select the mating pin header with the correct stack height, as SAMTEC offers options ranging from 1 mm to over 10 mm mated board-to-board spacing to suit different mechanical clearance requirements in the stacked PCB assembly.
