Frequently Asked Questions

How does the 1.27 mm pitch of TFM-104-03-F-D-LC compare to standard connector pitches for board-to-board connections?

The TFM-104-03-F-D-LC uses a 1.27 mm (0.050") pitch, which is half the spacing of standard 2.54 mm pitch connectors. This allows 8 positions to occupy roughly 4 mm of board length in the dual-row configuration, enabling designers to save significant PCB real estate in space-constrained instrumentation or embedded computing layouts.

What operating environments is the TFM-104-03-F-D-LC Tiger Eye connector suited for?

The TFM-104-03-F-D-LC is well suited for vibration-intensive environments such as aerospace avionics, defense electronics, and industrial motor drive controllers. The Tiger Eye contact design provides multiple redundant contact points per pin, maintaining reliable electrical connection across 8 positions even under sustained mechanical stress and temperature cycling.

Can TFM-104-03-F-D-LC be used as a lower pin-count alternative to larger TFM series strips?

Yes, TFM-104-03-F-D-LC serves as an 8-position alternative when the full 84-position or higher TFM variants offer more pins than required. Using a smaller 8-position dual-row strip at 1.27 mm pitch reduces connector cost and footprint while retaining the same Tiger Eye contact reliability and compatibility with standard TFM mating strips.
