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

  • 34 total positions in a dual-row right-angle layout at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch for dense, low-height board-to-board signal routing
  • Tiger Eye spring contact design delivers consistent mating force and contact resistance below 20 mΩ across repeated connection cycles
  • Low-profile right-angle orientation fits mezzanine and stacked board designs with less than 8 mm vertical clearance constraints

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

The TFM-117-03-L-D-RA is designed for high-density right-angle board-to-board and board-to-flex connections in industrial control, test and measurement, and embedded computing systems where board height is strictly limited. Its 34-position dual-row layout at 0.050" pitch provides 34 parallel signal channels within a compact 17 mm row length, simplifying high-pin-count interconnect routing. The Tiger Eye contact system ensures reliable electrical performance in applications subject to vibration or repeated mating cycles, such as field-serviceable instrumentation modules.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many signal channels does the TFM-117-03-L-D-RA provide, and what is the row pitch?

The TFM-117-03-L-D-RA offers 34 total positions in a dual-row configuration, with 17 contacts per row at a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. This layout provides 34 independent signal channels in a PCB footprint spanning approximately 17 mm in length, suitable for high-density parallel bus and mixed signal interface designs.

For what board-to-board height clearance is the TFM-117-03-L-D-RA right-angle low-profile design optimized?

The right-angle low-profile (L) variant of the TFM-117-03 series is intended for stacked PCB assemblies where vertical inter-board clearance is below 10 mm. Compared to vertical (straight) Tiger Eye headers, the RA orientation routes signals horizontally along the PCB edge, reducing stack height in mezzanine modules and compact embedded system enclosures.

When would a designer choose the TFM-117-03-L-D-RA over a higher-pin-count SAMTEC Tiger Eye connector?

A designer selects the 34-position TFM-117-03-L-D-RA when the interface requires exactly 34 signal lines, such as a 32-bit data bus with 2 control signals, and PCB space allows only a 17 mm connector length at 0.050" pitch. For interfaces exceeding 34 pins, higher-position Tiger Eye variants in the TFM series offer up to 100 or more positions while maintaining the same 1.27 mm pitch footprint.
