Applications
The TFM-106-01-FM-D-RA is designed for high-reliability board-to-board signal interconnection in aerospace, defense, and industrial control systems where compact connector pitch and dependable contact performance are essential. The right-angle orientation allows daughter cards and mezzanine boards to connect perpendicular to the main PCB, saving vertical space. Gold flash contact finish ensures consistent signal integrity across thousands of mating cycles in vibration-prone environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many mating cycles can the TFM-106-01-FM-D-RA withstand, and which contact finish contributes most to this longevity?
The TFM-106-01-FM-D-RA uses gold flash over nickel barrier contact finish on the mating surface, which significantly extends mating cycle life compared to tin-only contacts. Phosphor bronze spring contacts maintain reliable 12-position engagement over hundreds to thousands of mating cycles, making this connector suitable for aerospace and industrial boards requiring periodic servicing or module swap.
For a mezzanine board at 0.050 inch pitch, how does the TFM-106-01-FM-D-RA compare to wider-pitch alternatives in a constrained PCB layout?
At 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch, the TFM-106-01-FM-D-RA carries 12 positions in a body length of approximately 0.425 inches, enabling much denser signal routing than 0.1 inch pitch alternatives. This makes it ideal for compact mezzanine cards in industrial control modules, instrumentation, and rack-mounted systems where PCB real estate is limited and 12 signals must be routed in minimal space.
In which mechanical orientation does the TFM-106-01-FM-D-RA mount, and how does this affect connector clearance on assembled boards?
The TFM-106-01-FM-D-RA is a right-angle connector, meaning pins exit parallel to the PCB surface at 0.29 inch body depth. This right-angle mounting allows the mating board to connect horizontally, reducing overall stack height versus vertical connectors. Designers must account for 0.225 inch body breadth and 0.425 inch length when planning component keep-out zones around the 12-position footprint.
