What are the key features of TFM-105-05-SM-D-LC?

  • 10-position dual-row SMT terminal strip at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch delivers compact high-density connectivity in a minimal PCB footprint under 8 mm
  • Tiger Eye contact system ensures consistent normal force and contact resistance below 20 mΩ across all 10 positions for reliable signal integrity
  • Surface mount solder-in (SM) termination enables automated reflow assembly up to 260°C for high-throughput production environments
  • Low-cycle-count connector designed for reliable signal routing in sensor interface, debug header, and test access point applications

What is TFM-105-05-SM-D-LC used for?

The TFM-105-05-SM-D-LC is suitable for compact sensor interface boards, JTAG debug headers, and test access point connectors in embedded systems where a 10-pin SMT dual-row 0.050" pitch terminal strip fits within strict space budgets. Its surface mount termination allows integration into fully automated SMT production lines alongside other fine-pitch components. Industrial microcontroller boards and IoT gateway modules also use this terminal strip for low-channel-count bus interfaces where reliable contact quality across 10 positions is needed over an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes TFM-105-05-SM-D-LC suitable for JTAG debug or SWD test access points on compact embedded boards?

Its 10-position dual-row layout at 1.27 mm pitch fits a standard 10-pin ARM Cortex debug header in approximately 7 mm of board length, and the SMT solder-in termination holds contact resistance below 20 mΩ per pin, ensuring reliable JTAG or SWD communication at speeds up to 10 MHz during firmware development and production testing.

How does the SMT termination style of TFM-105-05-SM-D-LC differ from the through-hole STL variant in terms of board assembly?

The surface mount (SM) termination allows the TFM-105-05-SM-D-LC to be placed and reflowed alongside other SMT components in a single pass at up to 260°C, eliminating the separate wave solder or hand soldering step required for through-hole STL variants and reducing total assembly cycle time on automated lines handling mixed-pitch boards.

For an IoT gateway module needing a 10-pin bus interface, when should a designer choose TFM-105-05-SM-D-LC over a 2.54 mm pitch header?

At 1.27 mm pitch, the TFM-105-05-SM-D-LC uses roughly half the PCB area of a comparable 2.54 mm pitch 10-pin header, fitting within a 7 mm by 4 mm footprint. This makes it the preferred option when board real estate is limited to under 30 cm² and the signal currents remain below 1 A per pin.

What operating temperature range and reliability certifications support TFM-105-05-SM-D-LC in industrial deployments?

The TFM-105-05-SM-D-LC operates from -55°C to +125°C, covering the full industrial temperature range per IEC 60068-2 thermal cycling standards. SAMTEC qualifies the Tiger Eye contact system to withstand 500 or more mating cycles while maintaining contact resistance below 20 mΩ, meeting the durability needs of industrial IoT and embedded control applications.
