Frequently Asked Questions

How many positions and rows does the TFM-108-03-S-D-LC provide, and what is the connector pitch?

The TFM-108-03-S-D-LC is a dual-row terminal strip with 16 total positions arranged in a 2x8 configuration at a 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch. This compact layout enables high signal density in board-to-board and mezzanine interconnect designs where PCB space is limited.

What current rating and contact plating does the TFM-108-03-S-D-LC use for reliable signal transmission?

Each contact in the TFM-108-03-S-D-LC is rated to carry up to 1 A of current and features gold plating over a copper alloy base. The gold finish provides low and stable contact resistance across the connector's rated mating cycles, making it suitable for sensitive analog and high-speed digital signal lines.

How does the TFM-108-03-S-D-LC differ from the TFM-108-04-SM-D-LC in the same Tiger Eye series?

Both connectors share the same 16-position dual-row 1.27 mm pitch format and Tiger Eye contact technology, but the TFM-108-03-S-D-LC uses a single-ended contact termination style while the TFM-108-04-SM-D-LC uses a different mounting variant. Engineers choose between them based on PCB layout constraints, mating stack height requirements, and specific assembly process needs in their application.

Which sectors and system types commonly use the TFM-108-03-S-D-LC connector?

The TFM-108-03-S-D-LC is widely used in embedded computing modules, telecommunications line cards, test-and-measurement instruments, and industrial control systems. Its 16-position dual-row 1.27 mm pitch design supports high-density signal routing in compact form-factor assemblies across these industries.
