Key Features
- Tiger Eye 4-point contact geometry at 0.050-inch pitch delivers low insertion force with high normal force for reliable mating
- Gold 15 µin over nickel 50 µin contact finish ensures excellent corrosion resistance and extended cycle life in harsh environments
- Split board lock secures the connector to the PCB during mating and resists pull-out forces in high-vibration applications
- Dual-row layout maximizes pin density within a compact 0.425 inch body length for space-constrained designs
Applications
The TFM-106-01-L-D-LC is designed for high-cycle board-to-board and wire-to-board interconnect applications in aerospace, military, and industrial electronics where contact reliability is critical. Its 0.050-inch pitch and dual-row configuration make it ideal for dense signal and mixed-bus routing in rack-mount systems and ruggedized embedded modules. The split board lock and Tiger Eye contacts provide the mechanical retention needed for connectors subject to shock and vibration stress.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pitch and row configuration does the TFM-106-01-L-D-LC use, and how many total positions does it offer?
The TFM-106-01-L-D-LC uses a 0.050-inch pitch dual-row layout, providing 12 total positions across 2 rows of 6. The compact 0.425-inch body length makes it suitable for dense PCB layouts where space is limited but high pin count is still required.
What contact plating specification does the TFM-106-01-L-D-LC carry, and how does it affect connector lifespan?
The mating contacts are finished with 15 µin gold over 50 µin nickel, which provides excellent corrosion resistance and supports high insertion-cycle life. Gold plating at this thickness is appropriate for signal and low-level power contacts in environments with temperature cycling or humidity exposure.
How does the split board lock on the TFM-106-01-L-D-LC improve mechanical performance in vibration-prone systems?
The split board lock anchors the connector body to the PCB through press-fit retention pegs, resisting lateral and axial pull-out forces during mating. This is especially beneficial in industrial controllers, avionics racks, and test equipment exposed to shock levels exceeding 10 g, where unretained connectors can work loose over time.
When would a designer choose TFM-106-01-L-D-LC over a standard 0.100-inch pitch connector for a board-to-board link?
A 0.050-inch pitch connector like the TFM-106-01-L-D-LC is chosen when the available PCB real estate cannot accommodate a 0.100-inch pitch footprint for the same pin count. It places 12 positions in a 0.425-inch body versus roughly 0.75 inches for equivalent 0.100-inch pitch parts, saving over 40% of board length along the connector axis.
