Key Features
- 32-position dual-row right-angle layout on 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch allows perpendicular board mating at the PCB edge, saving vertical clearance in tight chassis enclosures
- Tiger Eye high-reliability contact design with gold over nickel on phosphor bronze contacts delivers low insertion force, excellent spring retention, and long mating cycle life
- Full gold termination finish on both mating and solder tail contacts minimizes contact resistance and prevents corrosion in demanding high-cycle or harsh-environment applications
Applications
The TFM-116-01-H-D-RA is designed for right-angle board-to-board and board-to-cable interconnect in compact instrumentation, RF modules, and high-reliability embedded computing platforms. Its 0.050" pitch, 32-position dual-row configuration accommodates wide signal buses in a minimal PCB edge footprint, making it well suited for daughtercard and mezzanine assemblies where space is limited. The Tiger Eye contact technology and full gold plating ensure repeatable low-resistance mating performance across many connection and disconnection cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What advantage does the right-angle orientation of TFM-116-01-H-D-RA provide for board-edge connector applications?
The right-angle (RA) configuration of the TFM-116-01-H-D-RA allows the 32-position, 0.050" pitch dual-row connector to mate perpendicular to the PCB surface from the board edge. This orientation reduces the total assembly height, enabling tighter stacking in chassis where vertical clearance is limited to less than 10 mm, while still providing a full 32-pin signal interface.
How does the Tiger Eye contact technology in TFM-116-01-H-D-RA improve mating reliability over standard stamped contacts?
Tiger Eye contacts in the TFM-116-01-H-D-RA use a dual-beam design with phosphor bronze spring elements that provide controlled normal force and self-wiping action during mating. This wipes oxidation from the mating surface and maintains consistent contact resistance well below 50 milliohms across hundreds of insertion cycles, outperforming single-beam stamped contacts in reliability-critical applications.
For which connector pairs is the TFM-116-01-H-D-RA intended as a board-level terminal strip?
The TFM-116-01-H-D-RA is a 32-position, 0.050" pitch dual-row right-angle terminal strip designed to mate with Samtec SFM-series and compatible 0.050" pitch socket strips. Its male phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating on both mating surfaces and solder tails ensure reliable, repeatable engagement with SFM or equivalent female housing contacts across the full 32-pin interface.
