Frequently Asked Questions
What is the pitch and total pin count of the TFM-144-03-FM-D-LC connector?
The TFM-144-03-FM-D-LC has a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch with 144 total positions arranged in a dual-row configuration, providing 72 contacts per row for high-density signal routing on compact PCBs.
Which board-level applications benefit most from the TFM-144-03-FM-D-LC Tiger Eye terminal strip?
This connector excels in server backplane assemblies, mezzanine card interconnects, and test equipment requiring reliable contact at 1.27 mm pitch across 144 positions. The Tiger Eye contact design maintains consistent 50 mΩ or lower contact resistance even after hundreds of mating cycles.
How does the TFM-144-03-FM-D-LC compare to lower-position-count variants in the TFM series?
The TFM-144-03-FM-D-LC provides 144 positions at 0.050" pitch, whereas smaller TFM variants such as 20- or 40-position versions offer fewer I/O channels but identical 1.27 mm pitch spacing and the same Tiger Eye contact technology, making signal integrity comparable across the family.
