What are the key features of TFM-115-22-F-D-LC?

  • 30-position dual-row Tiger Eye male terminal strip at 0.050 inch pitch for high-reliability board-to-board SMT connections
  • Gold flash over 50 µin nickel mating contacts with tin-nickel termination for low-resistance high-cycle mating
  • Split board-lock mounting option provides mechanical retention to PCB without additional hardware
  • High YTEOL of 9.4 years and 0.925 × 0.225 inch SMT footprint for long-lifecycle industrial and defense applications

What is TFM-115-22-F-D-LC used for?

TFM-115-22-F-D-LC is designed for high-reliability board-to-board stacking in defense electronics, industrial computing modules, and high-cycle test fixture applications where 30-position dual-row SMT connections are required. The Tiger Eye contact design provides consistent low contact resistance across thousands of mating cycles, and the split board-lock retention prevents board separation from vibration or mechanical shock. The 0.050 inch pitch vertical SMT configuration allows compact connector placement in constrained PCB layouts with automated reflow assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What contact plating and board retention mechanism does TFM-115-22-F-D-LC provide?

TFM-115-22-F-D-LC uses gold flash over 50 µin nickel plating on mating contacts with a tin-nickel barrier on solder terminations. The split board-lock feature mechanically retains the connector to the PCB, resisting pull-out forces without additional hardware. Gold flash contact finish maintains low contact resistance below 20 milliohms across 500 or more mating cycles in the Tiger Eye contact geometry.

For which high-cycle test fixture or modular system applications is TFM-115-22-F-D-LC most appropriate?

TFM-115-22-F-D-LC's Tiger Eye contact design and gold flash plating make it particularly well-suited for test fixture sockets and modular PCB stacking where 30 dual-row connections must withstand hundreds of insertions over the fixture's lifetime. Defense electronics and aerospace module interconnects benefit from the 9.4-year YTEOL rating. Board-to-board applications requiring 0.050 inch pitch with vertical SMT orientation in equipment operating from -55°C to +125°C are primary targets.

What are the body dimensions of TFM-115-22-F-D-LC and how much PCB space does it require?

TFM-115-22-F-D-LC measures 0.925 inch long, 0.225 inch wide, and 0.36 inch deep in vertical SMT orientation. The dual-row 30-position layout at 0.050 inch pitch places 15 contacts per row across the 0.925 inch length. The split board-lock pads require additional PCB real estate beyond the contact footprint, typically adding 0.05 inch per lock feature on each side of the 0.225 inch body width.

How does TFM-115-22-F-D-LC differ from standard SMT socket strips without Tiger Eye contacts?

Tiger Eye contacts in TFM-115-22-F-D-LC use a dual-beam wiping action that self-cleans the mating pin during insertion, maintaining contact resistance below 20 milliohms even after contamination exposure. Standard SMT socket strips use single-beam contacts that may accumulate debris over repeated insertions, increasing resistance over time. Tiger Eye construction suits applications with 500 or more mating cycles or environments with particulate contamination, providing a 2-3x improvement in mating cycle life.
