What are the key features of TFM-107-02-S-D-LC?

  • Tiger Eye contact system with 30 micro-inch gold over 50 micro-inch nickel plating for reliable low-resistance mating across thousands of cycles
  • Dual-row 14-position (28 total contacts) at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch with split board lock for secure PCB retention
  • Surface-mount vertical LC package (body 0.475" x 0.225") supports automated reflow assembly and eliminates through-hole drilling

What is TFM-107-02-S-D-LC used for?

The TFM-107-02-S-D-LC is designed for high-density board-to-board and mezzanine interconnect applications in telecommunications, networking, and military electronics where 28 contacts must be accommodated within a 1.27 mm pitch footprint. Its Tiger Eye gold-plated contact system ensures consistent signal integrity in applications subject to vibration or repeated mating cycles, such as plug-in line cards and test fixture interfaces. The surface-mount vertical package is also suitable for compact sensor modules and FPGA daughter cards where PCB real estate is at a premium.

Frequently Asked Questions

What contact plating specification does the TFM-107-02-S-D-LC use, and why does it matter?

The TFM-107-02-S-D-LC features 30 micro-inch gold plating over 50 micro-inch nickel on the mating contact surfaces. Gold at this thickness provides low and stable contact resistance below 20 milliohms even after repeated insertions, which is critical for high-frequency differential signals and sensitive analog lines in defense, telecom, and test equipment environments.

For a mezzanine card design needing 28 signals in a compact area, what board space does the TFM-107-02-S-D-LC require?

The TFM-107-02-S-D-LC body measures 0.475 inch long by 0.225 inch wide by 0.22 inch deep, delivering 28 contacts at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch in under 12 mm x 6 mm of board footprint. This density is approximately 4 times higher than a comparable 2.54 mm pitch connector, making it well suited for space-constrained mezzanine cards and stacked PCB assemblies.

How does the split board lock feature on the TFM-107-02-S-D-LC improve assembly reliability?

The split board lock retention feature mechanically anchors the TFM-107-02-S-D-LC to the PCB during reflow soldering, preventing movement caused by thermal expansion at peak oven temperatures up to 260°C. After soldering, the lock provides additional shear strength resisting connector pull-out forces, which is particularly important in vibration-prone environments such as avionics racks or industrial motor drives operating at sustained vibration levels.

When should an engineer choose TFM-107-02-S-D-LC over a standard 0.100" pitch dual-row header?

Engineers should select the TFM-107-02-S-D-LC when board space constraints require fitting 28 or more contacts in a footprint smaller than a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch header allows. At 0.050" pitch the TFM series occupies roughly half the board length of a 2.54 mm equivalent, enabling designs where signal counts would otherwise require multiple smaller connectors or expensive multilayer routing to reduce connector spacing.
