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

  • Tiger Eye contact technology delivering low-insertion-force, high-reliability mating across 5-position dual-row 0.050" pitch array with superior vibration and shock resistance
  • Latched cover (LC) mechanism providing positive mating retention and protecting all 10 contacts from accidental disconnection in harsh industrial and aerospace environments
  • Low-profile surface-mount (LM) termination at 1.27 mm pitch enabling automated reflow soldering in compact PCB designs where board height is constrained below 3 mm

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

The TFM-105-04-LM-D-LC is designed for high-density board-to-board and module-to-PCB interconnection in aerospace, defense, and industrial applications where vibration resistance and compact footprint are critical. The 0.050" pitch Tiger Eye contacts with latched cover provide secure mating in environments subject to mechanical shock and vibration exceeding 10 G. Engineers select this connector for space-constrained embedded computing modules, avionics interface cards, and test equipment requiring 10-pin dual-row connectivity with positive locking.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the contact pitch and position count of the TFM-105-04-LM-D-LC, and how does Tiger Eye technology benefit high-reliability designs?

The TFM-105-04-LM-D-LC uses a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch with 5 positions per row in a dual-row configuration, providing 10 total contacts. Tiger Eye contact technology employs a unique wiping action during mating that maintains contact forces between 100 g and 200 g per pin, ensuring reliable low-resistance connections even after thousands of mating cycles or exposure to vibration environments up to 10 G in aerospace and industrial control applications.

How does the latched cover (LC) on the TFM-105-04-LM-D-LC prevent accidental disconnection in vibration-prone applications?

The latched cover (LC) on the TFM-105-04-LM-D-LC engages a positive mechanical lock that prevents the mating connector from backing out under vibration or shock loads. This is critical in aerospace avionics and industrial motor control applications where vibration amplitudes at 10 Hz to 2000 Hz could cause intermittent disconnects on unlatched 0.050" pitch connectors. The latch mechanism requires a deliberate vertical pull or side-release action to disengage, ensuring the 10-contact connection remains secure through the equipment service life.

For what PCB assembly processes is the TFM-105-04-LM-D-LC surface-mount termination optimized, and what stack height does it target?

The LM (low-profile surface-mount) termination of the TFM-105-04-LM-D-LC is optimized for standard SMT reflow soldering processes with the connector mounted to PCB surface pads on a 1.27 mm pitch grid. The low-profile design targets above-board heights below 3 mm, making it suitable for board-to-board stacking configurations at 3 mm to 5 mm standoff distances in avionics and embedded computing modules. Automated pick-and-place assembly is supported, enabling high-volume production without manual insertion steps.
