Frequently Asked Questions
What is the contact pitch of the TFM-146-05-LM-D-LC and how does it affect board layout density?
The TFM-146-05-LM-D-LC uses a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, which allows 92 positions across a dual-row configuration. This fine pitch enables designers to route high pin-count signals in a significantly smaller PCB footprint compared to 0.100" pitch connectors, making it ideal for compact module designs.
How many mating cycles can the TFM-146-05-LM-D-LC Tiger Eye contact withstand in a production test environment?
The Tiger Eye contact technology in the TFM-146-05-LM-D-LC is rated for a minimum of 30 mating cycles under standard operating conditions, with many designs achieving 1000+ cycles in low-insertion-force test socket applications. The contact wipe action maintains reliable electrical continuity across repeated insertions.
Which PCB assembly methods are compatible with the TFM-146-05-LM-D-LC termination style?
The TFM-146-05-LM-D-LC features an LM (low-profile SMT) termination, making it fully compatible with standard surface-mount reflow soldering processes at peak temperatures up to 260°C. This eliminates through-hole drilling, reduces board thickness requirements, and streamlines automated pick-and-place assembly for high-volume production.
