What are the key features of TFM-120-03-SM-D-LC?

  • High-reliability Tiger Eye contact design engineered for thousands of mating cycles with consistent low contact resistance across dual-row configurations
  • Ultra-fine 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch enables high pin-count connectivity with 40 pins in a minimal PCB footprint
  • Dual-row surface mount (SM) configuration provides twice the contact density versus single-row alternatives at equivalent board length
  • LC low-contact-force design reduces mating and unmating forces while maintaining reliable electrical connections in demanding environments

What is TFM-120-03-SM-D-LC used for?

The TFM-120-03-SM-D-LC Tiger Eye terminal strip is used in high-reliability board-to-board and mezzanine interconnect applications in aerospace, defense, and high-end computing systems requiring 0.050" pitch density. Its precision contacts and dual-row SMT design make it suitable for data acquisition equipment, test and measurement modules, and military electronics where long cycle life and signal integrity are critical. The surface mount format also supports automated PCB assembly in both high-reliability and high-volume production environments.
