What are the key features of TFM-108-02-H-D-LC?

  • 16-position dual-row vertical SMT Tiger Eye terminal strip at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch for high-density board-to-board signal interconnect
  • Low-clearance (LC) profile reduces component height above the PCB, enabling slim form-factor designs in compact enclosures
  • Tiger Eye contact technology ensures reliable low-resistance electrical connections across multiple mating cycles in demanding industrial environments

What is TFM-108-02-H-D-LC used for?

The TFM-108-02-H-D-LC is suitable for mezzanine card interconnect, daughter card attachment, and modular embedded system designs where 16 signal channels must be routed in a 1.27 mm pitch dual-row footprint with minimal PCB height. The low-clearance variant is especially useful in slim enclosures such as compact industrial controllers, handheld instruments, and wearable medical devices. Its vertical SMT orientation simplifies PCB layout in single-sided assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the LC suffix signify on the TFM-108-02-H-D-LC and how does it affect PCB height?

The LC suffix designates a low-clearance variant that reduces the connector's standoff height above the PCB compared to standard TFM-108 versions. This is critical in slim enclosures or stacked-board designs where total assembled height must remain below a specified envelope, such as 5 mm or less above the PCB surface.

For a 16-signal dual-row interface at 1.27 mm pitch, when should a designer choose TFM-108-02-H-D-LC over a through-hole alternative?

Designers should choose the TFM-108-02-H-D-LC when PCB real estate is limited and automated SMT assembly is preferred, since the surface-mount vertical footprint eliminates drill holes and reduces board fabrication cost. Through-hole alternatives provide greater pull-out strength, but for applications where mating forces stay below 50 N and SMT reflow is the primary assembly process, the TFM-108-02-H-D-LC is more efficient.

How many mating cycles does the TFM-108-02-H-D-LC Tiger Eye contact support, and in which industries is this important?

Samtec's Tiger Eye contacts are rated for a minimum of 100 mating cycles while maintaining contact resistance below 50 mΩ, which is sufficient for field-replaceable mezzanine modules in industrial automation, defense electronics, and medical instruments that undergo periodic maintenance. Applications requiring thousands of cycles should consider alternative contact technologies.
