What are the key features of TFM-146-13-F-D?
- SAMTEC Tiger Eye contact design providing secure positive-lock mating retention and reliable electrical continuity in high-density 1.27 mm pitch layouts
- Dual-row 92-position configuration at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch enabling maximum I/O density in compact mezzanine and backplane interconnect designs
- High-reliability construction rated for demanding environments including thermal cycling, vibration, and thousands of mating and unmating cycles
- Gold-plated contact finish delivering low contact resistance and long-term corrosion protection in precision signal interconnect applications
What is TFM-146-13-F-D used for?
The TFM-146-13-F-D is designed for high-density board-to-board interconnect in aerospace, defense, industrial automation, and telecommunications equipment where reliable dual-row 1.27 mm pitch mating is required across many I/O lines. Its Tiger Eye contact design provides a secure locking interface that resists vibration and accidental unmating in field-deployed or ruggedized systems. This terminal strip is also used in mezzanine card edge connections and test and measurement platforms requiring stable electrical performance at 0.050" pitch over extended service life.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the SAMTEC Tiger Eye contact design in the TFM-146-13-F-D different from standard terminal strip contacts?
The Tiger Eye contact design in the TFM-146-13-F-D features a specialized geometry that creates positive retention force when mated, preventing accidental disconnection under vibration and shock. This contrasts with standard open-leaf contacts that rely only on friction. The Tiger Eye design also maintains consistent contact resistance across thousands of mating cycles at the 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch.
How many positions does the TFM-146-13-F-D provide, and what signal density does this achieve at 0.050" pitch?
The TFM-146-13-F-D provides 92 positions in a dual-row layout at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. This equates to 46 contacts per row, achieving very high I/O density in a compact footprint. Such density is required in mezzanine board stacking, backplane interfaces, and data acquisition modules where many parallel signals must cross a board-to-board boundary in limited PCB area.
In what ways does the TFM-146-13-F-D terminal strip suit defense and aerospace interconnect requirements better than commercial-grade alternatives?
The TFM-146-13-F-D's high-reliability Tiger Eye contacts with gold plating, combined with the 0.050" (1.27 mm) dual-row 92-position construction, meets the mechanical and electrical demands of defense and aerospace applications. Gold-plated contacts provide corrosion resistance in humid and salt-air environments, while the Tiger Eye locking geometry ensures the connector remains mated during vibration loads that would dislodge standard terminal strip connectors.
