Key Features
- 16-position dual-row surface-mount terminal strip on 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch for compact high-density layouts
- Tiger Eye contact technology provides high-reliability, low-insertion-force mating with excellent cycle life
- Vertical SMT orientation with latching mechanism ensures secure board-to-board engagement in vibration-prone environments
Applications
The TFM-108-02-LM-D-LC is used in space-constrained high-reliability board-to-board interconnect applications such as aerospace avionics, military electronics, and medical instrumentation. Its 0.050" pitch allows 16 positions in a minimal PCB footprint, making it suitable for mezzanine card assemblies and module-to-baseboard connections. The Tiger Eye latching contact design ensures the connector remains securely mated in high-vibration environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pitch and contact configuration does the TFM-108-02-LM-D-LC use for its 16 positions?
The TFM-108-02-LM-D-LC uses a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch with 16 positions in a dual-row arrangement, placing 8 contacts per row. This compact spacing is designed for high-density surface-mount board-to-board applications where minimizing connector footprint is essential.
Why is Tiger Eye contact technology preferred for high-reliability mating in the TFM-108-02-LM-D-LC?
Tiger Eye contacts provide a low-insertion-force yet high-normal-force interface, resulting in stable contact resistance across thousands of mating cycles. For applications such as aerospace avionics or medical equipment that require reliable performance over the product life, the Tiger Eye design significantly reduces the risk of intermittent connections compared to standard wiping contacts.
Can the TFM-108-02-LM-D-LC be used in mezzanine card assemblies with tight height budgets?
Yes. The TFM-108-02-LM-D-LC surface-mount vertical configuration and 0.050" pitch allow it to fit mezzanine cards where connector height and PCB area are constrained. The 16-pin dual-row footprint occupies minimal board space, and multiple units can be placed side-by-side to scale pin count while staying within tight z-height envelopes of 4 mm to 10 mm stack heights.
