What are the key features of TFM-108-01-FM-D-RA?
- 16-position dual-row right-angle header on 0.050-inch (1.27 mm) pitch for high-density edge connections
- Tiger Eye high-reliability contact design for superior mating retention
- Gold flash mating contacts for low contact resistance and corrosion protection
- Phosphor bronze contacts providing excellent spring force and durability
- Right-angle (RA) configuration for cable or board exits parallel to PCB surface
- RoHS compliant with tin-over-nickel termination finish
What is TFM-108-01-FM-D-RA used for?
The TFM-108-01-FM-D-RA is used in compact embedded systems, FPGAs, and industrial PCBs where a right-angle 16-position dual-row connector at 0.050-inch (1.27 mm) pitch is needed for board-edge signal routing. Its Tiger Eye contact geometry ensures reliable retention and low contact resistance after repeated mating, making it suitable for test fixtures, prototype boards, and portable instrumentation. The right-angle orientation allows mating connectors and cable assemblies to exit parallel to the PCB surface, reducing overall assembly height in space-constrained enclosures.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Tiger Eye contact design in TFM-108-01-FM-D-RA improve connector retention compared to standard terminal strips?
The Tiger Eye contact geometry in TFM-108-01-FM-D-RA provides a dual-beam contact structure that increases normal force and gripping action against the mating pin. On a 0.050-inch (1.27 mm) pitch with 16 positions, this enhanced retention reduces the risk of intermittent connections in vibration-prone industrial and instrumentation applications.
Why specify a right-angle connector like TFM-108-01-FM-D-RA instead of a vertical header in height-constrained enclosures?
The right-angle (RA) orientation of TFM-108-01-FM-D-RA allows the mating cable or daughter board to exit parallel to the PCB surface rather than perpendicular to it. This reduces the minimum enclosure height needed above the PCB, which is critical in low-profile industrial panels and portable instruments where vertical clearance is limited to less than 10 mm above the board.
What contact materials and finishes in TFM-108-01-FM-D-RA ensure reliable performance over many mating cycles?
TFM-108-01-FM-D-RA uses phosphor bronze contacts with gold flash mating finish and tin-over-nickel termination. Phosphor bronze provides excellent spring retention across repeated insertions, while gold flash mating contacts resist oxidation and maintain low contact resistance. These material choices are well suited for signal connectors in test fixtures and development boards requiring frequent connect-disconnect cycling.
Is TFM-108-01-FM-D-RA a good fit for applications requiring compact 0.050-inch pitch dual-row connectors in production PCB assembly?
Yes. TFM-108-01-FM-D-RA is a surface-mount board connector with a body measuring 0.525 inch length and 0.29 inch depth, fitting within the compact footprint required for 0.050-inch (1.27 mm) pitch dual-row PCB routing. Its RoHS-compliant, Pb-free construction with tin-nickel termination is compatible with standard lead-free reflow soldering used in production SMT assembly.
