Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Tiger Eye contact system in TFM-140-23-H-D superior to standard socket contacts?
SAMTEC's Tiger Eye contact design uses a dual-beam wiping action that generates higher normal force than conventional single-beam contacts, typically achieving over 100 grams of contact force per pin. This results in better resistance to vibration-induced intermittent contacts and maintains reliable electrical connection over thousands of mating cycles in harsh environments.
How many total positions does TFM-140-23-H-D provide and how are they arranged?
The TFM-140-23-H-D provides 80 total contact positions arranged in 2 rows of 40 contacts each at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. This dual-row high-density configuration enables routing up to 80 signal or power connections within a board footprint of approximately 50.8 mm × 5.08 mm, making it suitable for wide parallel bus and multi-channel high-speed interfaces.
In what high-reliability applications is TFM-140-23-H-D most commonly specified?
The TFM-140-23-H-D is specified in aerospace avionics, defense electronics, and industrial control systems where connector reliability over 500 or more mating cycles is required. Its 0.050" pitch dual-row layout supports 80-pin high-density mezzanine card interconnects in applications operating from -55°C to +125°C, including ruggedized embedded computing modules and FPGA-based signal processing platforms.
How does the 0.050" pitch of TFM-140-23-H-D compare to 0.100" pitch connectors for board density?
The 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch of TFM-140-23-H-D provides approximately 4 times higher pin density per unit area compared to 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch connectors. With 80 positions in the same board length that a 0.100" connector would use for 40 positions, TFM-140-23-H-D is preferred for high pin-count mezzanine applications where minimizing connector real estate is critical.
