What are the key features of TFM-106-03-FM-D-LC?
- Dual-row 6-position SMT terminal strip at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch for compact high-density board-to-board signal connections
- Tiger Eye low-insertion-force contact system enables 200+ mating cycles, reducing assembly and field-service forces compared to conventional contacts
- 30 µin gold-plated contacts over nickel underplate ensure low stable contact resistance and long-term corrosion resistance
What is TFM-106-03-FM-D-LC used for?
The TFM-106-03-FM-D-LC serves board-to-board and board-to-cable signal interconnection in defense electronics, aerospace avionics, and precision instrumentation where a 6-position dual-row SMT connector at 0.050" pitch must fit a highly constrained PCB layout. Its surface-mount termination style enables reflow soldering alongside other SMT components, simplifying assembly and reducing through-hole drilling costs. The Tiger Eye contact geometry accommodates repeated mating cycles for plug-in module designs that require field serviceability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the FM suffix in TFM-106-03-FM-D-LC indicate about its termination style and PCB footprint?
The FM suffix designates a surface-mount (SMT) termination style with compliant pins designed for reflow soldering. This eliminates through-hole drilling on the PCB and allows the 6-position dual-row connector at 0.050" pitch to be assembled alongside other SMT components in a standard reflow oven at temperatures up to 260°C peak.
How many contacts does TFM-106-03-FM-D-LC provide, and how does that compare to single-row alternatives at the same pitch?
TFM-106-03-FM-D-LC provides 12 total contacts in a dual-row 6-position arrangement at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, occupying approximately 7.6 mm of board length. A single-row 12-position alternative at the same pitch would require about 15.2 mm, making the dual-row version the preferred choice where board edge length is limited.
For a compact military subsystem requiring a low-profile SMT connector, how does TFM-106-03-FM-D-LC meet those needs?
TFM-106-03-FM-D-LC delivers 12 contacts in a dual-row SMT form with a board-height profile compatible with low-clearance enclosures. Its Tiger Eye contacts with 30 µin gold plating maintain signal integrity across -55°C to +125°C, meeting MIL-grade thermal and vibration requirements while the surface-mount termination simplifies automated assembly in high-reliability military subsystems.
