Key Features
- 12-position dual-row layout on 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch maximizes signal density in compact SMT vertical footprints for miniaturized board-to-board designs
- Tiger Eye contact system delivers positive wiping action and high retention force, maintaining reliable connections across extended mating cycles under vibration
- Low-clearance (LC) horizontal body design reduces above-board connector profile, enabling tighter board-to-board stacking in slim electronic assemblies
Applications
The TFM-106-02-H-D-LC is suited for compact RF modules, FPGA daughter cards, and miniature sensor interface boards that require 12 reliable signal connections in a fine 0.050" pitch SMT footprint. Its low-clearance design makes it a strong candidate for wearable medical devices, portable instrumentation, and densely packed embedded computing modules where standard-height connectors would exceed the available board-to-board gap. The Tiger Eye contact technology also makes this connector appropriate for high-cycle debug interfaces and test fixture sockets in production environments that demand repeatable electrical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What position count and pitch does the TFM-106-02-H-D-LC use, and how does its vertical SMT orientation affect PCB layout?
The TFM-106-02-H-D-LC provides 12 positions in a dual-row (2x6) arrangement on a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. The vertical surface-mount orientation positions the connector body perpendicular to the PCB, allowing the mating connector to approach from above in a stacked board-to-board configuration, while the low-clearance design keeps the total connector height above the board as compact as possible.
For which compact or portable system designs does the 12-position low-clearance TFM-106-02-H-D-LC provide the most benefit over a larger pin-count connector?
Portable medical monitors, miniature RF front-end modules, and compact sensor nodes that require fewer than 16 signal connections benefit most from the 12-position TFM-106-02-H-D-LC because it avoids the unnecessary footprint and height of higher pin-count connectors. The 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch keeps the 12-pin dual-row body to a very small PCB area, freeing adjacent board space for power regulation circuits, filters, or RF components in space-critical designs.
When does the Tiger Eye contact system in the TFM-106-02-H-D-LC justify its selection over a lower-cost standard stamped-contact alternative?
The Tiger Eye system justifies its selection in applications requiring more than 100 mate-unmate cycles, such as test fixture sockets, field-replaceable embedded modules, or debug interfaces on development boards that are connected and disconnected frequently. The wiping action of the Tiger Eye contacts prevents contact resistance degradation that standard stamped contacts experience after repeated cycling, ensuring all 12 positions maintain stable signal integrity throughout the product life in environments with vibration or thermal cycling between -55°C and +125°C.
