What are the key features of TFM-109-03-STL-D-RA?
- 18-position dual-row configuration on 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch for high-density signal interconnects
- Tiger Eye contact technology provides superior wiping action and reliable low-resistance mating
- Right-angle orientation (RA) routes signals parallel to the PCB surface, saving vertical board clearance
- High-reliability construction qualified for demanding industrial and military interconnect applications
What is TFM-109-03-STL-D-RA used for?
The TFM-109-03-STL-D-RA is suited for high-density board-to-board signal routing in compact embedded systems, FPGAs, and data acquisition modules where 0.050 inch pitch reduces connector footprint. Its right-angle configuration enables panel-edge signal exits and controlled-impedance signal paths in test and measurement equipment. The Tiger Eye contact system ensures reliable mating over thousands of insertion cycles in harsh industrial and defense environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions and rows does the TFM-109-03-STL-D-RA provide, and what is its pitch?
The TFM-109-03-STL-D-RA is an 18-position, dual-row terminal strip on a 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch, giving 9 contacts per row for high-density signal routing in compact embedded and FPGA-based PCB designs.
What advantage does the Tiger Eye contact technology offer over standard pin-and-socket connectors?
SAMTEC Tiger Eye contacts use a stamped wiping-action design that maintains a minimum contact resistance below a few milliohms across 500 or more mating cycles, outperforming standard machined-pin contacts in high-vibration and temperature-cycling environments.
Why choose a right-angle orientation for the TFM-109-03-STL-D-RA in a system design?
The right-angle (RA) orientation routes the 18 signal lines horizontally along the PCB plane, reducing the connector stack height by the pin length and enabling edge-mounted signal exits within enclosures where vertical clearance above the board is limited to a few millimeters.
What industries and applications are best served by the TFM-109-03-STL-D-RA terminal strip?
This SAMTEC terminal strip targets industrial automation controllers, defense electronics, and telecom line cards that need reliable 0.050 inch pitch interconnects with over 1000 mating-cycle life. Its high-reliability rating also suits aerospace data recorders and ruggedized test instrumentation.
