What are the key features of TFM-144-05-L-D-LC?

  • 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch dual-row, 44-position (88 contacts) low-profile SMT terminal strip for high-density board interconnects
  • Tiger Eye contact geometry delivers enhanced normal force and consistent mating reliability across 500+ insertion cycles
  • Low-profile (LC) body height minimizes stack height for thin-profile PCB assemblies in portable and embedded applications

What is TFM-144-05-L-D-LC used for?

The TFM-144-05-L-D-LC is optimized for space-constrained board-to-board interconnects in portable medical devices, compact embedded computing modules, and precision instrumentation where 0.050-inch pitch low-profile SMT headers are required. Its 88-contact dual-row configuration efficiently supports high signal-count interfaces in aerospace electronics and industrial sensor arrays where vertical clearance is limited.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the LC suffix indicate on the TFM-144-05-L-D-LC and how does it affect PCB layout?

The LC suffix denotes a low-profile contact configuration that reduces the overall body height compared to standard TFM variants. This allows the TFM-144-05-L-D-LC to fit within tighter vertical clearance envelopes on PCB assemblies while maintaining 88-contact, 0.050-inch pitch dual-row connectivity.

How many mating cycles can the TFM-144-05-L-D-LC contacts withstand reliably?

The Tiger Eye contact design in the TFM-144-05-L-D-LC is rated for 500 or more mating cycles with consistent electrical performance. Each of the 88 contacts maintains low contact resistance and stable 3A, 125V AC/DC ratings throughout the product lifecycle, suitable for test fixtures and field-serviceable assemblies.

For which industries is the SAMTEC TFM-144-05-L-D-LC commonly specified and why?

Aerospace, medical device, and high-reliability industrial electronics designers commonly select the TFM-144-05-L-D-LC for its 0.050-inch pitch, 88-pin surface-mount interface in compact form factors. The combination of low-profile height, Tiger Eye contact reliability, and 3A per-contact rating meets demanding signal-integrity requirements in mission-critical systems.
