What are the key features of TFM-116-11-S-D?

  • 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch Tiger Eye terminal strip with 16 positions per row for high-density board interconnects
  • Gold-over-nickel contact finish on mating surface ensures low contact resistance and high cycle life
  • Phosphor bronze contact material with tin/nickel barrier termination for reliable soldering and corrosion resistance

What is TFM-116-11-S-D used for?

The TFM-116-11-S-D is well-suited for high-density board-to-board interconnect applications in telecommunications, networking, and test equipment where space is limited and reliable signal transmission is critical. Its 0.050" pitch design enables compact PCB layouts in data storage, industrial automation, and medical instrumentation systems. The gold-plated mating contacts support repeated mating cycles in applications such as module testing fixtures and hot-swap backplane assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions

What pitch and row configuration does the TFM-116-11-S-D use, and how does this affect PCB layout density?

The TFM-116-11-S-D uses a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch in a single-row, 16-position configuration, enabling board space savings compared to 0.100" pitch connectors. The body length is 0.925 inch, making it suitable for compact PCB designs with 16 signal positions in under 1 inch of board length.

Which board-to-board or wire-to-board applications benefit from choosing TFM-116-11-S-D over standard 0.100" pitch strips?

Applications requiring high density in constrained spaces, such as embedded computing modules, medical diagnostic devices, and compact test fixtures, benefit from the 0.050" pitch of TFM-116-11-S-D. The 16-position single-row layout provides 16 signal channels within a 0.925-inch body, cutting the connector footprint roughly in half versus 0.100" alternatives.

What contact material and plating specification does TFM-116-11-S-D provide for long-term reliability?

TFM-116-11-S-D uses phosphor bronze contact material with gold-over-nickel plating on the mating surface, delivering low and stable contact resistance across thousands of mating cycles. The termination side uses tin with a nickel barrier layer, which prevents tin whisker growth and ensures solder joint reliability over the connector's service life.

Is TFM-116-11-S-D RoHS compliant, and what does the Pbfree Code indicate for procurement?

Yes, TFM-116-11-S-D carries a Pbfree Code of 'Yes,' confirming it is RoHS compliant and lead-free. This makes it suitable for use in environmentally regulated markets including EU, China RoHS, and similar programs requiring lead-free components across all 16 contacts and the connector body.
