Key Features
- Tiger Eye 15 micro-inch gold over 50 micro-inch nickel mating contacts provide superior wear resistance and low contact resistance across thousands of mating cycles
- Split board lock mounting option mechanically secures the connector to the PCB, preventing movement during soldering and field use
- 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch dual-row 60-position layout enables high-density signal routing in a compact 1.625 inch body length
- RoHS-compliant design with tin-over-nickel termination supports lead-free soldering and meets global environmental regulations
Applications
The TFM-130-01-L-D-LC Tiger Eye terminal strip is used in high-density daughter card, memory module, and backplane interconnect applications in aerospace, defense, and industrial computing where 0.050 inch pitch receptacles with reliable gold contacts are required. Its split board lock retention secures the connector during reflow soldering and resists vibration in rugged field deployments. The 60-position dual-row layout efficiently routes mixed signal and power lines between stacked or edge-mounted PCBs in space-constrained enclosures.

Frequently Asked Questions
What contact finish does TFM-130-01-L-D-LC use and how many mating cycles does it support?
The TFM-130-01-L-D-LC uses 15 micro-inch gold over 50 micro-inch nickel on its mating contacts, a combination that typically supports more than 200 mating cycles while maintaining contact resistance below 20 milliohms. This gold plating thickness is characteristic of Samtec's Tiger Eye high-reliability connector series.
How does the split board lock on TFM-130-01-L-D-LC improve assembly and field reliability?
The split board lock (LC option) uses two separate locking tabs that insert into PCB holes and spread apart, mechanically anchoring the 1.625 inch long connector body to the board. This prevents lateral shifting during reflow at 260 degrees C peak temperature and provides vibration resistance in excess of 10 g in deployed systems.
In what applications is a 60-position 0.050 inch pitch dual-row receptacle like TFM-130-01-L-D-LC typically required?
A 60-position dual-row receptacle at 0.050 inch pitch is typically required in aerospace avionics modules, defense computing backplanes, and industrial FPGA daughter cards where 60 or more signals must be routed between boards in a body only 1.625 inch long. Medical imaging systems and high-speed data acquisition boards also commonly use this connector format.
How does TFM-130-01-L-D-LC compare to standard 0.100 inch pitch connectors in board space savings?
At 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch, TFM-130-01-L-D-LC provides 60 positions in a 1.625 inch body length, roughly half the PCB footprint required by a 60-position 0.100 inch pitch connector at approximately 3 inches. This 50 percent reduction in connector length is critical in avionics and medical PCB designs where every millimeter of board space matters.
