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

  • 0.050-inch (1.27 mm) pitch dual-row surface-mount terminal strip with 16 total pins for compact SMT board-to-board signal interconnects
  • Tiger Eye high-reliability contact system with gold-plated wiping contacts ensuring consistent contact resistance below 20 mΩ across mating cycles
  • Low-clearance (LC) vertical SMT configuration minimizes stacking height for slim PCB assemblies and space-constrained embedded modules

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

The TFM-108-02-STL-D-LC is suited for surface-mount board-to-board signal routing in compact embedded systems, portable instrumentation, and mezzanine PCB stacking configurations where vertical height is limited. Its 0.050-inch pitch and 16-pin dual-row footprint support dense SMT layouts in industrial control boards and telecommunications line cards. The Tiger Eye contact design ensures long-term reliability in applications subject to vibration or repeated mating cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many signal pins does the TFM-108-02-STL-D-LC provide, and what mounting style does it use?

The TFM-108-02-STL-D-LC is a 16-pin (8 per row) dual-row terminal strip in a vertical surface-mount (SMT) configuration. Its 0.050-inch pitch allows tight routing in compact PCB layouts, making it a practical choice for embedded system mezzanine connections where through-hole mounting is not feasible.

For a ruggedized industrial control design, how does the Tiger Eye contact ensure reliable performance under vibration?

The Tiger Eye contact mechanism uses a double-wiping gold-plated contact interface, maintaining contact resistance below 20 mΩ even under mechanical stress. The robust retention geometry resists vibration-induced fretting, making the TFM-108-02-STL-D-LC suitable for industrial environments where vibration levels can exceed 10 g and long-term signal integrity is critical.

When would a designer select the TFM-108-02-STL-D-LC over a through-hole terminal strip for SMT production lines?

The STL suffix designates surface-mount vertical termination, allowing the TFM-108-02-STL-D-LC to be placed and reflowed in a standard SMT process, eliminating secondary through-hole soldering steps. For production runs requiring fully automated pick-and-place assembly, this reduces manufacturing time, lowers per-unit cost, and simplifies process validation compared to mixed SMT/through-hole board populations.

What procurement options are available for the TFM-108-02-STL-D-LC, and how quickly can it be sourced?

SAMTEC's TFM series supports Tiger Buy availability with factory lead times as short as 1 week, and the TFM-108-02-STL-D-LC is distributed globally for worldwide shipping. Volume orders can include tape-and-reel packaging compatible with standard SMT feeders, and custom plating or termination options may be available through SAMTEC's custom connector programs for high-volume designs.
