What are the key features of TFM-144-04-L-D-LC?

  • 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch dual-row terminal strip with 144 total positions (72 per row) for high-density interconnect
  • Tiger Eye contact technology provides reliable wiping action and low insertion force across the full 72-position row
  • Low-profile surface-mount footprint enables compact PCB designs with tight component spacing

What is TFM-144-04-L-D-LC used for?

The TFM-144-04-L-D-LC is suited for high-density board-to-board and board-to-cable interconnects in test and measurement equipment, data acquisition systems, and industrial automation controllers. Its 0.050" pitch and dual-row layout allow designers to route 144 signals through a compact PCB footprint, making it a strong choice for FPGA daughter cards and high-channel-count sensor interfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many signal positions does the TFM-144-04-L-D-LC provide, and how are they arranged?

The TFM-144-04-L-D-LC provides 144 total positions arranged in a dual-row configuration with 72 contacts per row, all on a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. This high-density layout allows engineers to route a large number of signals through a minimal PCB footprint.

Which mating connector series is compatible with the TFM-144-04-L-D-LC for board-to-board stacking?

The TFM-144-04-L-D-LC mates with Samtec's corresponding Tiger Eye plug series designed for 0.050" pitch dual-row connectors. These mated pairs support reliable board-to-board connections with a wiping contact action that tolerates up to 200 mating cycles while maintaining signal integrity across 144 positions.

In what applications is the TFM-144-04-L-D-LC especially advantageous over a 0.100" pitch alternative?

When PCB space is limited and channel count is high, the TFM-144-04-L-D-LC's 0.050" pitch saves approximately 50% of connector footprint area compared to a 0.100" pitch alternative carrying the same 144 signals. This makes it ideal for compact FPGA daughter cards, data acquisition modules, and high-density test fixtures where board area is at a premium.
