What are the key features of TFM-108-04-L-D-LC?
- 16-position dual-row low-clearance (LC) surface-mount terminal strip on 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch for compact high-density board interconnects
- Tiger Eye contact system provides high normal force retention and reliable mating engagement rated for 200+ mating cycles
- Gold-plated mating surfaces maintain contact resistance below 20 mΩ, ensuring signal integrity in high-speed and high-reliability designs
What is TFM-108-04-L-D-LC used for?
The TFM-108-04-L-D-LC is designed for high-density board-to-board signal connections in compact electronic assemblies such as embedded computing modules, RF front-end boards, and portable instrumentation. Its low-clearance (LC) profile minimizes the mated stack height, which is critical in slim enclosures and multi-board stacked assemblies. Engineers also deploy this connector in data acquisition systems and test fixtures where 16 reliable signal connections are needed in a minimal PCB footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the LC designation mean on the TFM-108-04-L-D-LC, and how does it affect mated stack height?
The LC designation on the TFM-108-04-L-D-LC stands for low-clearance, indicating the connector is designed to minimize the distance between the two mated PCBs. This reduces the overall stack height of a board-to-board assembly, which is critical in applications where the enclosure height is constrained to a few millimeters. For designs targeting slim portable devices or densely packed multi-board assemblies, the LC variant typically provides a mated height under 5 mm compared to standard-clearance alternatives on the same 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch.
How many mating cycles is the TFM-108-04-L-D-LC rated for, and what contact materials are used?
The TFM-108-04-L-D-LC Tiger Eye contacts are rated for a minimum of 200 mating cycles, supported by gold plating on the contact mating interface which maintains low resistance below 20 mΩ. The tin-plated solder tails are compatible with standard lead-free reflow soldering profiles up to 260°C peak temperature, enabling integration into RoHS-compliant SMT manufacturing lines without additional process changes.
When is the 16-position TFM-108-04-L-D-LC a better choice than a flex cable solution for connecting two PCBs?
The TFM-108-04-L-D-LC is preferable over a flex cable when rigid board-to-board alignment is required and the PCBs are in a fixed parallel orientation separated by a defined distance. Unlike flex cables that can shift under vibration, the Tiger Eye terminal strip provides a mechanically stable 16-pin interface that maintains alignment across the full operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. It also eliminates the flex cable routing constraint, simplifying PCB layout in embedded systems with limited routing channels.
