Frequently Asked Questions
What is the pin pitch and total pin count of the TFM-142-05-SM-D-LC connector?
The TFM-142-05-SM-D-LC features a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch with a dual-row configuration providing 84 total pins, arranged as 42 pins per row. This fine pitch allows high-density placement on compact PCBs where board space is at a premium.
Which surface-mount applications benefit most from the TFM-142-05-SM-D-LC Tiger Eye terminal strip?
This connector excels in applications requiring reliable 84-pin dual-row connections at 1.27 mm pitch, including data acquisition cards, industrial controllers, and embedded computing modules. Its low-profile LC termination style and surface-mount footprint suit tight board layouts in medical and telecom equipment operating across standard commercial temperature ranges.
How does the TFM-142-05-SM-D-LC compare to standard 0.100" pitch alternatives for board interconnects?
Compared to conventional 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch connectors, the TFM-142-05-SM-D-LC offers roughly 4 times the pin density per linear inch, fitting 42 pins per row in the same space a 0.100" connector would fit 21 pins. This makes it a preferred choice when board real estate is limited and 84 circuits must be routed in a compact area.
What mating connector or cable assembly is compatible with the TFM-142-05-SM-D-LC?
The TFM-142-05-SM-D-LC is designed to mate with Samtec's Tiger Eye TFM-series mating connectors and compatible FFSD or IDSD discrete-wire cable assemblies with 1.27 mm pitch terminations. Proper mating ensures reliable contact at current ratings typical for 28–30 AWG signal wiring, supporting low-voltage signal transmission in the range of 0 V to 3.3 V or 5 V systems.
