What are the key features of TFM-106-02-F-D-LC?

  • 12-position dual-row SMT terminal strip at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch in a vertical, low-clearance (LC) profile for minimum stack height
  • Tiger Eye female contacts provide high normal force and consistent contact resistance below 20 milliohms across 500+ mating cycles
  • Low-clearance (LC) design reduces board-to-board gap to the minimum required, enabling ultra-compact mezzanine module assemblies

What is TFM-106-02-F-D-LC used for?

The TFM-106-02-F-D-LC is designed for space-constrained mezzanine board-to-board connections in portable medical instruments, miniature embedded computing modules, and compact IoT gateway hardware requiring 12 signal lines at 1.27 mm pitch with minimal stack height. The low-clearance vertical configuration fits into chassis designs where board-to-board separation must be kept to a few millimeters. Tiger Eye contacts ensure reliable signal integrity in applications with thermal cycling or vibration exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the low-clearance (LC) profile of TFM-106-02-F-D-LC benefit designs with tight board-to-board spacing?

The LC (low-clearance) profile on the TFM-106-02-F-D-LC minimizes the board-to-board separation when mated, reducing the inter-PCB gap to approximately 1 mm to 2 mm compared to 4 mm or more for standard-height 1.27 mm pitch connectors. This compact stack height is critical in portable instruments, wearable electronics, and miniature IoT modules where the total enclosure thickness is constrained and every millimeter of vertical space between the base and mezzanine boards must be conserved.

For which 12-pin mezzanine signal interface scenarios does Tiger Eye contact technology provide a measurable advantage?

Tiger Eye contacts in the TFM-106-02-F-D-LC maintain a stable contact resistance below 20 milliohms across all 12 positions through 500 or more mating cycles, outperforming standard single-beam contacts that may drift above 50 milliohms after repeated insertions in test sockets or field-replaceable modules. This is especially valuable in portable medical diagnostic units and aerospace sensor modules where connector performance must remain consistent after repeated board swaps at -40°C to 85°C operating temperature.

Is the TFM-106-02-F-D-LC available for automated SMT assembly, and what packaging format suits production procurement?

The TFM-106-02-F-D-LC is designed for surface mount vertical placement with SMT pads on a 1.27 mm grid, compatible with standard pick-and-place machines and 260°C peak reflow soldering per J-STD-020. It is available in cut-strip or tape-and-reel packaging for production runs, enabling continuous automated assembly of 12-position mezzanine boards. Stocked by major global distributors, the part is accessible for both prototype quantities and volume procurement with worldwide shipping.
