Frequently Asked Questions

What is the contact pitch of the TFM-146-02-F-D-LC and how does it affect PCB layout density?

The TFM-146-02-F-D-LC uses a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, which allows 92 positions to be arranged in a dual-row surface-mount configuration on a very compact PCB footprint. This tight 1.27 mm pitch is ideal for high-density interconnect designs where board space is limited, enabling engineers to route many signals in minimal area compared to 2.54 mm pitch connectors.

How many mating cycles is the TFM-146-02-F-D-LC rated for, and what contact plating is used?

The TFM-146-02-F-D-LC Tiger Eye contacts are rated for a minimum of 200 mating cycles, ensuring long service life in applications with repeated connector insertions. Gold plating on the contact surfaces maintains low contact resistance below 20 mΩ throughout the connector's lifetime, which is critical for reliable signal transmission in test and measurement or production board assemblies.

Which board-to-board applications benefit most from using the 92-position TFM-146-02-F-D-LC surface-mount connector?

The TFM-146-02-F-D-LC excels in high-density board-to-board designs requiring 92 signal connections, such as telecom line cards, data storage backplanes, and industrial control modules. Its surface-mount vertical footprint at 1.27 mm pitch enables compact PCB layouts, and the Tiger Eye contact system provides reliable mating where vibration or thermal cycling over a -55°C to 125°C operating range could otherwise cause intermittent connections.
