What are the key features of TFM-106-02-FM-D-LC?
- 12-position dual-row Tiger Eye terminal strip at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch with vertical SMT mounting for high-density board connections
- Flush mount (FM) and leave clearance (LC) design enables low-profile PCB installation with enhanced mechanical stability and space efficiency
- High-reliability Tiger Eye contact technology ensures consistent electrical performance and secure mating across extended use cycles
What is TFM-106-02-FM-D-LC used for?
The TFM-106-02-FM-D-LC is designed for compact board-to-board signal routing in embedded computing, FPGA development boards, and high-speed digital interface modules where a 12-contact dual-row connector at 1.27 mm pitch is required. Its vertical SMT footprint makes it suitable for slim electronics assemblies, mezzanine card interconnects, and industrial control panels with limited vertical clearance. The connector is also used in test and measurement systems requiring reliable, repeatable signal connections in automated equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the FM and LC designator mean in the TFM-106-02-FM-D-LC part number?
FM stands for flush mount, meaning the connector sits level with the PCB surface, while LC indicates leave clearance, providing a gap below the connector body. This combination gives a low-profile installation height and ensures adequate clearance for solder fillets on a 0.050 inch pitch, 12-position dual-row SMT footprint.
How many contacts does TFM-106-02-FM-D-LC have and how are they arranged?
The TFM-106-02-FM-D-LC has 12 total contacts arranged in a dual-row configuration with 6 contacts per row at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch. This layout provides a high-density signal interface in a minimal PCB area, suitable for space-constrained board-to-board interconnect applications in embedded systems.
For which applications is the TFM-106-02-FM-D-LC particularly well-suited compared to larger pitch connectors?
The TFM-106-02-FM-D-LC excels in applications requiring compact 12-contact interconnects at 1.27 mm pitch, such as FPGA mezzanine cards, miniature sensor modules, and portable medical devices. Compared to 2.54 mm pitch connectors, it reduces PCB footprint by approximately 50 percent while maintaining reliable SMT connections at similar current-carrying capacity per contact.
What PCB surface-mount soldering process is recommended for the TFM-106-02-FM-D-LC?
The TFM-106-02-FM-D-LC is designed for standard SMT reflow soldering, compatible with lead-free solder paste and typical reflow profiles peaking near 260 degrees C. Its 0.050 inch pitch pads require precision stencil printing to avoid bridging across the 12 dual-row contacts, and the leave clearance (LC) feature aids solder joint inspection after assembly.
