What are the key features of TFM-143-03-FM-D-LC?
- 86-position dual-row Tiger Eye terminal strip on 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch for extremely high-density SMT board-to-board connections
- Tiger Eye contact system delivers low insertion force with high normal contact force for reliable mating across thousands of cycles
- LC (low-clearance) design provides a reduced mated height for space-constrained mezzanine or stacked-board assemblies
What is TFM-143-03-FM-D-LC used for?
The TFM-143-03-FM-D-LC is designed for high-reliability, high-density board-to-board interconnect in aerospace avionics, defense electronics, and precision medical instrumentation where 86 contacts at 0.050" pitch must perform through thermal cycling, vibration, and repeated mating. Its low-clearance (LC) configuration is especially useful in stacked mezzanine card assemblies with tight z-height budgets of under 10 mm. The Tiger Eye contact technology ensures consistent electrical performance across the connector's rated life.
