Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Tiger Eye contact design of TFM-102-23-FM-D suitable for high-reliability applications?
The Tiger Eye contact design features a dual-beam wiping action that maintains reliable electrical contact over thousands of mating cycles. This design ensures stable contact resistance below a few milliohms even in environments with vibration or thermal cycling, which is why it is specified for aerospace, defense, and medical equipment boards.
What is the contact pitch of TFM-102-23-FM-D and what board-to-board stack height does it support?
TFM-102-23-FM-D uses a 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch in a dual-row configuration. The 23 in the part number indicates a 23 mm mating height, which is the board-to-board stack-off distance. This allows engineers to design compact mezzanine assemblies with precisely controlled spacing between stacked PCBs in high-density systems.
How does the full mechanical shroud on TFM-102-23-FM-D protect contacts during assembly and field use?
The full mechanical shroud surrounds all pins on TFM-102-23-FM-D, protecting the fine 0.050 inch pitch contacts from mechanical damage during PCB handling and shipping. It also guides the mating connector in straight, aligned insertion, reducing the risk of bent or damaged pins in dense multi-row connectors used in field-replaceable mezzanine modules.
What procurement lead time and availability should buyers expect for TFM-102-23-FM-D in production volumes?
TFM-102-23-FM-D is a specialized Tiger Eye terminal strip, and buyers should confirm availability with authorized Samtec distributors before finalizing BOM commitments. High-reliability connector variants with custom stack heights and full shrouds may require 6 to 12 weeks lead time at volume. Samtec offers factory-direct ordering for large quantities to support production programs with specific delivery schedules.
