What are the key features of TFM-126-03-F-D-LC?
- 52-pin dual-row Tiger Eye terminal strip at .050" (1.27 mm) pitch for high-density board-to-board signal interconnects with minimal PCB footprint
- Latching clip (LC) option adds mechanical retention to prevent accidental unmating in vibration-sensitive and shock-prone applications
- Precision Tiger Eye contact geometry delivers reliable low-resistance mating with consistent insertion force across all 52 positions
What is TFM-126-03-F-D-LC used for?
The TFM-126-03-F-D-LC serves high-density board-to-board interconnect needs in telecommunications equipment, industrial control modules, and embedded computing platforms where 52 contacts at .050" pitch minimize PCB real estate. The latching clip feature provides additional mechanical retention that prevents unmating in vibration-prone environments such as industrial machinery and portable instruments. Its Tiger Eye contact design ensures reliable signal integrity across repeated mating cycles with broad global distributor availability.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many contacts does the TFM-126-03-F-D-LC provide and what is its center-to-center pitch?
The TFM-126-03-F-D-LC is a 52-pin dual-row Tiger Eye terminal strip with .050" (1.27 mm) center-to-center pitch, providing 26 contacts per row in a compact footprint suited for high-density board-to-board signal interconnects in telecom, computing, and industrial PCB designs.
What retention advantage does the latching clip option on the TFM-126-03-F-D-LC provide compared to standard Tiger Eye strips?
The LC (latching clip) option on the TFM-126-03-F-D-LC adds a mechanical latch that locks the mated connector pair together, preventing accidental disconnection in vibration-prone environments. This is especially valuable in industrial machinery and portable instruments where the 52-pin, .050" pitch connector may experience shock or sustained vibration forces during normal operation.
How does the TFM-126-03-F-D-LC's .050" pitch compare to standard 2.54 mm pitch dual-row connectors for space-constrained PCB designs?
The TFM-126-03-F-D-LC's .050" (1.27 mm) pitch is half that of the standard 2.54 mm pitch, allowing a 52-pin dual-row interface to occupy roughly half the PCB footprint of an equivalent 2.54 mm pitch connector. This makes it an ideal choice for compact daughter cards, mezzanine modules, and backplane connections where high pin count and minimal board area are equally critical design requirements.
