Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the TFM-144-04-SM-D-LC provide and at what pitch?
The TFM-144-04-SM-D-LC provides 288 positions in a dual-row arrangement at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch. This high-density layout is suited for surface-mount PCB designs requiring a large number of parallel signal or power connections in a compact area.
What does the LC designation mean for the TFM-144-04-SM-D-LC and how does it affect PCB layout?
The LC designation stands for low-clearance, indicating a reduced component height above the PCB surface. This profile is critical in slim enclosures and board-stack assemblies where vertical clearance is limited, helping designers stay within height budgets typically under 5 mm above the board surface.
Which high-reliability applications is the TFM-144-04-SM-D-LC best suited for?
This connector targets high-reliability applications such as aerospace subsystems, industrial control modules, and high-cycle test equipment requiring 288 stable signal contacts at 0.050 inch pitch. The Tiger Eye contact mechanism is rated for thousands of mating cycles with gold flash surfaces maintaining contact resistance below specified limits over the product lifetime.
