Key Features
- Tiger Eye high-reliability contact design delivers superior normal force retention across 60 positions at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch for dependable board-level connections
- Split board lock mounting secures the connector to the PCB during mating and handling, preventing pad lift and connector movement in demanding environments
- Vertical surface mount receptacle in a 1.625 inch body length provides a compact, low-profile footprint for high-density dual-row signal interconnect
Applications
The TFM-130-02-S-D-LC is suited for high-density board-to-board and mezzanine stacking applications in communications equipment, FPGA development platforms, and aerospace electronics where secure mounting and reliable contact retention across 60 positions are required. Its Tiger Eye contact system and split board lock make it a preferred choice for mil-aero modules, rack-mount compute boards, and vibration-prone industrial systems needing repeatable connector engagement at 0.050" pitch.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the TFM-130-02-S-D-LC provide and what pitch does it use?
The TFM-130-02-S-D-LC provides 60 positions in a dual-row configuration at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. This fine pitch allows significantly higher contact density per unit length compared to 0.100" pitch connectors, enabling the connector to route 60 signals through a 1.625 inch body length in PCB assemblies where space efficiency is critical.
What is the purpose of the split board lock feature on the TFM-130-02-S-D-LC and when is it important?
The split board lock on the TFM-130-02-S-D-LC provides a mechanical retention feature that holds the connector body securely against the PCB surface during and after soldering. This prevents connector movement that could cause solder joint cracking or pad lift, and is especially important in applications subject to mechanical vibration or repeated mating cycles, such as mil-aero modules, industrial robotics, and rack-mount systems with hot-swap daughter cards.
Which high-reliability environments benefit from the Tiger Eye contact design used in the TFM-130-02-S-D-LC?
The Tiger Eye contact system provides a high normal-force, dual-beam wiping action that maintains reliable electrical contact across 60 positions even in environments with temperature cycling from -55°C to +125°C, mechanical vibration, or exposure to contaminants. This makes the TFM-130-02-S-D-LC well-suited for mil-aero avionics, defense electronics, and industrial control modules where connector reliability over thousands of mating cycles at 0.050" pitch must be guaranteed.
