What are the key features of TFM-115-12-S-D?
- Gold (30 µin) over nickel (50 µin) ELP mating contacts rated for 500+ insertion cycles for high-reliability board interconnect
- Shrouded Tiger Eye receptacle design prevents connector misalignment, ensuring correct 30-position dual-row 1.27 mm pitch mating every time
- Matte tin (Sn) with nickel (Ni) barrier termination provides excellent solderability for RoHS-compliant lead-free reflow at 260°C
What is TFM-115-12-S-D used for?
The TFM-115-12-S-D is designed for high-reliability board-to-board interconnect in aerospace, defense, medical instrumentation, and industrial automation where 500 or more mating cycles are expected. Its shrouded 30-position dual-row 1.27 mm pitch receptacle is ideal for FPGA daughter-card connections, rugged embedded module interfaces, and signal-dense backplane applications requiring gold-plated high-cycle contacts.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do the gold (30 µin) ELP contacts on TFM-115-12-S-D extend connector service life compared to standard gold plating?
Standard SAMTEC contacts use 10 µin gold, while TFM-115-12-S-D's ELP (Extended Life Plating) deposits 30 µin gold over 50 µin nickel. This tripled gold thickness maintains contact resistance below 20 mΩ for 500 or more insertion cycles, making TFM-115-12-S-D the preferred choice in maintenance-intensive or field-replaceable module designs.
What position count and board footprint does TFM-115-12-S-D occupy for high-density PCB routing?
TFM-115-12-S-D provides 30 positions in a dual-row 1.27 mm pitch configuration with a body length of 0.875 inch (22.2 mm) and breadth of 0.225 inch (5.7 mm), fitting approximately 3 connectors end-to-end in a 70 mm board span while routing 30 signal channels through a narrow 5.7 mm wide footprint.
For aerospace or defense module designs, why is TFM-115-12-S-D preferred over lower-reliability alternatives?
In defense and aerospace applications subjected to vibration, thermal cycling from -55°C to +125°C, and frequent module removal, TFM-115-12-S-D's 30 µin gold ELP contacts, shrouded housing, and nickel barrier termination provide the contact integrity and misalignment protection that standard 10 µin gold connectors cannot sustain over a system's 10- to 20-year service life.
