What are the key features of TFM-108-03-SM-D-LC?
- 16-position dual-row layout at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch enabling high-density surface-mount signal routing on compact PCBs
- Tiger Eye dual-beam contact design delivers consistent low contact resistance and reliable retention after repeated mating cycles
- Surface-mount termination style simplifies automated PCB assembly and reduces board real estate compared to through-hole alternatives
What is TFM-108-03-SM-D-LC used for?
The TFM-108-03-SM-D-LC is well suited for high-density board-to-board and daughter-card interconnects in portable medical devices, aerospace instrumentation, and compact industrial controllers. Its 0.050-inch pitch surface-mount design allows integration into tight-pitch layouts where 16 dual-row signal contacts are required without through-hole drilling. The part is also used in defense and communications modules where Tiger Eye contact reliability must be maintained across wide temperature cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What contact pitch and position count does the TFM-108-03-SM-D-LC provide for surface-mount designs?
The TFM-108-03-SM-D-LC offers a 0.050-inch (1.27 mm) pitch with 16 total positions in a dual-row surface-mount layout, enabling high-density signal connections on compact PCBs where through-hole alternatives would consume excessive board space.
Which application environments benefit most from the Tiger Eye contacts in the TFM-108-03-SM-D-LC?
Applications subject to vibration or thermal cycling—such as aerospace avionics operating from -55°C to +125°C, portable medical diagnostics, and defense communication modules—benefit from Tiger Eye dual-beam contacts that maintain consistent contact resistance across all 16 positions through thousands of mating cycles.
How does the TFM-108-03-SM-D-LC compare to through-hole terminal strips for automated PCB assembly?
The surface-mount termination of the TFM-108-03-SM-D-LC eliminates the need for 16 drilled through-holes per connector, reducing PCB fabrication cost and allowing placement by standard pick-and-place equipment, while the 0.050-inch pitch saves board space compared to 0.100-inch pitch through-hole equivalents.
