What are the key features of TFM-105-12-S-D-LC?

  • 10-position dual-row surface-mount receptacle at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch for high-density interconnects
  • Tiger Eye high-reliability contact system with robust 100-gram minimum insertion force for secure mating
  • Split board lock (LC suffix) provides superior mechanical retention on PCB during mating cycles
  • Vertical SMT mounting with body dimensions of 0.375" x 0.295" x 0.225" for compact footprint
  • RoHS compliant (Pb-free) with 3-week factory lead time and high YTEOL rating of 9.4

What is TFM-105-12-S-D-LC used for?

The TFM-105-12-S-D-LC is designed for high-reliability board-to-board and board-to-flex interconnect applications in industrial automation, medical instrumentation, and ruggedized electronics. Its 0.050" pitch dual-row design allows 10 positions in a very compact area, making it ideal for dense PCBs in communications equipment and portable instruments. The split board lock ensures the connector remains securely seated under vibration and mechanical stress encountered in demanding environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the 'LC' suffix mean in TFM-105-12-S-D-LC and how does it affect PCB retention?

The 'LC' suffix designates a split board lock feature that provides mechanical retention to the PCB. This locking mechanism secures the 10-position connector against vibration and mechanical stress, preventing unintentional unmating during operation in environments with shock loads up to 50 G.

What are the body dimensions and pitch of the TFM-105-12-S-D-LC for PCB footprint planning?

The TFM-105-12-S-D-LC has a body length of 0.375 inch, body depth of 0.295 inch, and body breadth of 0.225 inch, with a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch between contact positions. These compact dimensions allow designers to place 10 dual-row positions in very tight PCB layouts.

In which applications is the TFM-105-12-S-D-LC Tiger Eye connector most commonly used?

This connector is commonly deployed in medical instrumentation, industrial control modules, and ruggedized communications equipment requiring reliable 10-position, dual-row signal connections. The 0.050" pitch and surface-mount vertical orientation make it suitable for high-density PCBs operating across -55°C to +125°C temperature ranges.

Is the TFM-105-12-S-D-LC RoHS compliant and what is its lead time?

Yes, the TFM-105-12-S-D-LC is fully RoHS compliant and Pb-free as indicated by its Pbfree Code: Yes specification. The standard factory lead time is 3 weeks, and stocked quantities are available through authorized SAMTEC distributors for immediate worldwide shipping.
