What are the key features of TFM-106-03-SM-D-LC?
- 12-position dual-row SMT terminal strip at 1.27 mm (0.050") pitch enabling compact high-density PCB interconnects
- Tiger Eye contact technology with dual-beam wiping action maintains low contact resistance across thousands of mating cycles
- Low-clearance (LC) design minimizes vertical stack height for tight board-to-board spacing constraints in dense assemblies
What is TFM-106-03-SM-D-LC used for?
The TFM-106-03-SM-D-LC serves compact embedded modules, RF front-end boards, and high-density instrumentation systems where 12-position dual-row SMT connectivity at 1.27 mm pitch is required in a minimal footprint. Its Tiger Eye contact reliability and low-clearance configuration make it well-suited for portable medical devices, network switching cards, and test fixture boards demanding consistent signal integrity in repeated-mate applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pitch and position count does the TFM-106-03-SM-D-LC offer for compact board designs?
The TFM-106-03-SM-D-LC provides 12 total positions arranged in a dual-row layout at 1.27 mm (0.050") pitch, allowing engineers to achieve high signal density within a small PCB footprint suitable for embedded modules, instrumentation boards, and compact communication hardware.
How does the Tiger Eye contact mechanism in the TFM-106-03-SM-D-LC improve reliability compared to standard pin-and-socket designs?
SAMTEC's Tiger Eye contact technology uses a dual-beam wiping action that actively scrubs the mating surface on every insertion, maintaining low and consistent contact resistance over thousands of cycles; for the 12-position 1.27 mm pitch TFM-106-03-SM-D-LC, this translates to superior reliability in high-cycle test fixtures and field-service assemblies.
When designing a stacked PCB assembly with tight vertical clearance, how does the LC option benefit TFM-106-03-SM-D-LC integration?
The Low-Clearance (LC) suffix on the TFM-106-03-SM-D-LC indicates a reduced-height SMT profile that allows closer board-to-board stacking than standard-height versions; engineers designing compact multi-board systems with vertical stack budgets under 5 mm can use the LC variant at 1.27 mm pitch to maintain 12 dual-row connections with minimal clearance overhead.
What are the sourcing options for the TFM-106-03-SM-D-LC and how quickly can small prototype quantities be obtained?
The TFM-106-03-SM-D-LC is available directly from SAMTEC and through their global authorized distributor network; prototype quantities of 10 to 50 pieces of the 12-position 1.27 mm pitch dual-row LC strip are often available from distributor stock with next-day or 2-day shipping, while production volumes typically carry 4 to 6 week lead times.
