What are the key features of TFM-117-03-FM-D-RA?

  • 34-position dual-row configuration with 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch for high-density signal routing
  • Right-angle (RA) SMT termination style for reliable board-edge and card-edge installations
  • Tiger Eye contact technology providing superior contact retention and low insertion force mating

What is TFM-117-03-FM-D-RA used for?

The TFM-117-03-FM-D-RA is well-suited for high-density board-to-board interconnects in telecommunications equipment, embedded computing modules, and compact industrial control systems. Its right-angle SMT footprint enables space-saving PCB layouts where vertical connector clearance is restricted. The 0.050" pitch supports routing of up to 34 signals across two rows in applications demanding reliable, long-cycle mating performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many positions and rows does the TFM-117-03-FM-D-RA connector provide?

The TFM-117-03-FM-D-RA provides 34 positions arranged across 2 rows with a 0.050-inch (1.27 mm) pitch, making it well suited for high-density signal routing in compact PCB layouts requiring reliable board-to-board connections.

What mounting orientation does the TFM-117-03-FM-D-RA use and how does it affect PCB layout?

The TFM-117-03-FM-D-RA uses a right-angle (RA) surface-mount termination, allowing the mating face to be parallel to the PCB surface. This orientation reduces vertical clearance requirements and is ideal for card-edge or panel-edge applications where height above the board must stay below approximately 5 mm.

Which SAMTEC Tiger Eye series connectors are compatible mates for the TFM-117-03-FM-D-RA?

The TFM-117-03-FM-D-RA mates with SAMTEC's 0.050-inch pitch Tiger Eye plug assemblies in the TFM or compatible dual-row series. Compatible mates share the 1.27 mm pitch and 2-row configuration, supporting up to 34 signal contacts rated for repeated mating cycles in high-reliability environments.
