What are the key features of TFM-108-05-F-D-LC?
- 8-position dual-row Tiger Eye terminal strip at 0.050 inch pitch with low-clearance (LC) SMT profile for stacked-board applications
- Two-point redundant contact geometry maintains contact resistance below 20 milliohms for high-cycle reliability
- Low-clearance design minimizes inter-board spacing, enabling dense board stacks in embedded and aerospace electronics
What is TFM-108-05-F-D-LC used for?
The TFM-108-05-F-D-LC is suited for compact board-to-board stacking in aerospace avionics, defense electronics, and industrial embedded computing where board clearance is less than 8 mm. Its 16-contact, 0.050 inch pitch layout handles mixed signal and power connections across stacked daughter cards in modular systems. The low-clearance SMT profile simplifies reflow assembly on multi-layer HDI PCBs requiring precise mating heights.

Frequently Asked Questions
What total contact count and pitch does TFM-108-05-F-D-LC offer, and what inter-board spacing does the LC profile allow?
The TFM-108-05-F-D-LC provides 16 total contacts across 2 rows of 8 positions at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch. The low-clearance (LC) profile reduces installed stack height, typically allowing inter-board separations as small as 4 mm to 6 mm, which is critical in compact avionics and embedded control board assemblies.
How does the Tiger Eye contact in TFM-108-05-F-D-LC compare to single-beam contacts in terms of connection reliability?
SAMTEC's Tiger Eye design uses two redundant contact points per pin, effectively doubling the number of electrical interfaces at each of the 16 positions. This redundancy reduces contact resistance to typically under 20 milliohms and ensures that a single point of contamination or wear does not cause an open circuit, a key advantage over single-beam contacts rated for similar 100-cycle service life.
For a 16-channel sensor interface board, how does selecting TFM-108-05-F-D-LC affect PCB layout compared to a 0.100 inch pitch alternative?
At 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch, the TFM-108-05-F-D-LC spans roughly 9 mm along its dual-row contact array, compared to approximately 18 mm for a 0.100 inch pitch connector carrying the same 16 signals. This space saving allows designers to route additional signal traces or reduce overall board size in handheld instruments, satellite sub-systems, or compact sensor modules.
What surface-mount assembly considerations apply to the TFM-108-05-F-D-LC during lead-free reflow soldering?
The TFM-108-05-F-D-LC is compatible with lead-free SMT reflow profiles peaking at 260 °C, per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 standards. Its 16 SMT contact pads at 0.050 inch pitch require a precisely printed solder paste stencil with apertures sized for 1.27 mm pad pitch to prevent bridging during reflow, and the low-clearance body must clear any nearby tall components to avoid thermal shadowing.
