What are the key features of TFM-105-04-L-D-LC?

  • 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch dual-row terminal strip with Tiger Eye high-reliability contact system
  • Low-clearance (LC) profile reduces connector height for space-constrained PCB assemblies
  • Precision stamped contacts ensure consistent insertion force and reliable mating across 100+ cycles

What is TFM-105-04-L-D-LC used for?

The TFM-105-04-L-D-LC is ideal for high-density board-to-board and wire-to-board interconnects in aerospace, defense, and industrial control equipment where mechanical durability and signal reliability are critical. Its 0.050 inch pitch dual-row layout maximizes contact density on constrained PCBs, making it well suited for data acquisition systems, test instrumentation, and embedded computing modules. The low-clearance variant is particularly useful in stacked-card architectures where vertical clearance between boards must be minimized.

Frequently Asked Questions

What contact pitch and row configuration does the TFM-105-04-L-D-LC use?

The TFM-105-04-L-D-LC uses a 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch in a dual-row configuration, delivering 5 positions per row for a total of 10 contacts. This high-density layout enables compact PCB footprints in instrumentation, embedded computing, and test equipment designs.

How does the Tiger Eye contact system in TFM-105-04-L-D-LC improve connection reliability over standard terminal strips?

SAMTEC's Tiger Eye contact geometry provides a two-point redundant contact interface that significantly lowers contact resistance compared to single-beam alternatives, typically achieving contact resistance below 20 milliohms. This dual-point design reduces the probability of intermittent connections in vibration-prone aerospace and defense environments.

What does the LC suffix mean in TFM-105-04-L-D-LC, and which board spacing scenarios benefit from it?

The LC suffix denotes a low-clearance profile, which reduces the installed connector height above the PCB surface. This is especially advantageous in stacked-board assemblies where inter-board spacing may be as tight as 4 mm to 8 mm, allowing designers to maintain 0.050 inch pitch density without sacrificing vertical clearance in compact embedded systems.

For procurement, what tape-and-reel or packaging options are available for TFM-105-04-L-D-LC to support automated assembly?

The TFM-105-04-L-D-LC is available in loose-piece packaging suitable for hand or robotic placement on PCBs with 0.050 inch pitch footprints. SAMTEC also offers bulk tray and custom strip-packaging options through authorized distributors to support automated pick-and-place production lines with standard 1.27 mm pitch machine vision systems.
