Key Features
- High-reliability Tiger Eye contact technology provides enhanced wiping action and consistent low resistance over thousands of mating cycles
- Dual-row 88-position 0.050 inch pitch layout enables ultra-high-density signal routing on compact PCBs
- Female mount (FM) orientation supports board-to-board mating with matching SFM socket strip headers
Applications
The TFM-144-11-FM-D is used in high-density board-to-board interconnect applications such as FPGA mezzanine cards, data acquisition modules, and server daughter cards. Its 0.050" pitch dual-row Tiger Eye terminal strip design enables reliable signal connections where space is constrained and mating cycle life is critical. It is particularly suited for test and measurement platforms and embedded computing systems requiring consistent electrical performance across multiple board interface connections.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the TFM-144-11-FM-D provide and what pitch does it use?
The TFM-144-11-FM-D provides 88 positions in a dual-row configuration with a 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch, delivering extremely high signal density in a compact surface mount footprint suitable for advanced board-to-board interconnect applications.
What makes the Tiger Eye contact in TFM-144-11-FM-D superior to standard terminal strip contacts?
The Tiger Eye contact design uses a unique bifurcated spring geometry that applies higher and more consistent contact force than standard contacts, resulting in lower contact resistance (typically under 20 milliohms) and better performance over thousands of mating cycles in harsh environments.
Which mating headers are compatible with the TFM-144-11-FM-D for board-to-board assemblies?
The TFM-144-11-FM-D mates with SAMTEC SFM-series high-reliability socket strips that share the same 0.050 inch pitch dual-row configuration. For the 88-position TFM-144, the SFM-144-series provides the corresponding plug header with matched contact geometry and polarization keying for reliable mating.
