What are the key features of TFM-106-03-F-D-LC?

  • Tiger Eye contact geometry delivers consistent low-resistance mating across thousands of cycles for high-reliability interconnect
  • 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch dual-row layout enables ultra-high-density signal routing in space-constrained PCB designs
  • Surface-mount termination (LC) facilitates automated reflow assembly, reducing manual soldering and improving process consistency

What is TFM-106-03-F-D-LC used for?

The TFM-106-03-F-D-LC is designed for high-density board-to-board interconnects in aerospace, defense, and medical electronics where 0.050" pitch and Tiger Eye contact reliability are required. Its dual-row surface-mount construction suits automated SMT assembly lines handling compact, high-pin-count modules. It is also used in instrumentation and data acquisition systems that demand reliable signal integrity across repeated mating cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What pitch does the TFM-106-03-F-D-LC use, and how does that affect board density?

The TFM-106-03-F-D-LC operates on a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch in a dual-row configuration, allowing up to twice the contact density of a 0.100" pitch connector in the same board area. This ultra-fine pitch is critical for miniaturized designs in aerospace and medical electronics where every square millimeter of PCB space matters.

How does the Tiger Eye contact in the TFM-106-03-F-D-LC improve connector reliability?

The Tiger Eye contact geometry uses a dual-beam wiping action that maintains a stable, low-resistance electrical connection even after thousands of mating cycles. This design resists fretting corrosion, tolerates minor pin misalignment, and provides consistent contact force at 0.050" pitch, making the TFM-106-03-F-D-LC suitable for high-reliability aerospace and defense applications.

Does the surface-mount (LC) footprint of TFM-106-03-F-D-LC support automated assembly processes?

Yes, the LC (low-current, surface-mount) footprint is fully compatible with standard SMT pick-and-place and reflow soldering processes at typical reflow temperatures of 260°C. This eliminates the need for through-hole hand soldering, improving joint consistency and throughput on automated PCB assembly lines handling high-density 0.050" pitch components.
