What are the key features of TFM-143-05-FM-D-LC?

  • Tiger Eye high-reliability contact design delivers superior wipe action and stable low-resistance connections at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch
  • Dual-row 86-position layout enables very high pin density in a compact low-clearance SMT footprint for space-constrained PCBs
  • Low-clearance (LC) termination style minimizes component height above the PCB, ideal for stacked board and tight-clearance assemblies

What is TFM-143-05-FM-D-LC used for?

The TFM-143-05-FM-D-LC is engineered for high-density board stacking and module interconnect applications in aerospace, defense, and advanced instrumentation where signal integrity and reliable mating are critical. Its Tiger Eye contact technology and 0.050 inch pitch allow 86 positions to be routed in a minimal PCB footprint, supporting both power and high-speed signal lines. This connector is widely used in ruggedized embedded computing, FPGAs, and DSP module assemblies requiring compact, reliable interconnects.

Frequently Asked Questions

What contact pitch and position count does the TFM-143-05-FM-D-LC offer for high-density layouts?

The TFM-143-05-FM-D-LC uses a 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch and provides 86 positions in a dual-row (2x43) surface-mount configuration. This fine-pitch, high-count layout is suited for FPGA daughtercard, DSP module, and aerospace board stacking applications where maximizing pin density within a limited PCB area is essential.

What is the Tiger Eye contact technology and how does it improve connector reliability?

Tiger Eye is SAMTEC's proprietary contact design that features an additional wipe point for each contact, increasing the contact area and improving resistance to oxidation and debris. This results in lower and more consistent contact resistance over thousands of mating cycles, critical for high-reliability defense, aerospace, and instrumentation applications at 0.050 inch pitch.

How does the low-clearance (LC) termination of the TFM-143-05-FM-D-LC benefit stacked board assemblies?

The low-clearance termination style reduces the component height above the PCB surface, enabling tighter board-to-board stacking in multi-layer embedded systems. For designs where overall stack height must be minimized, the LC option on an 86-position, 0.050 inch pitch connector allows engineers to fit more functionality into compact enclosures without sacrificing connector reliability or signal density.
