Applications
The TFM-147-11-SM-D is a high-density SMT terminal strip for mezzanine and board-to-board interconnection in applications requiring 94 signal connections at 1.27 mm pitch. It is used in FPGA development boards, telecom line cards, and high-speed data acquisition systems where contact reliability over many thousands of mating cycles is critical. The Tiger Eye contact geometry ensures consistent low-resistance engagement across the full 94-position dual-row interface.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the TFM-147-11-SM-D provide, and at what pitch?
The TFM-147-11-SM-D provides 94 total positions arranged in a dual-row layout with 47 contacts per row at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch. This high-density configuration allows 94 signal or power connections within a compact SMT footprint, making it well suited for FPGA and processor module interconnects.
What makes the Tiger Eye contact design in the TFM-147-11-SM-D advantageous for high-cycle applications?
The Tiger Eye contact geometry uses a dual-beam spring design that maintains consistent normal force and low contact resistance across thousands of mating cycles, exceeding the 500-cycle ratings of many standard SMT socket strips. This durability is essential in test fixtures, development boards, and module slots that undergo repeated connect-disconnect cycles.
How does the 0.050-inch pitch of TFM-147-11-SM-D compare to standard 0.100-inch pitch terminals for telecom line card designs?
At 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch, TFM-147-11-SM-D offers twice the contact density of 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch alternatives, enabling 94 connections in roughly the same board space that a 0.100-inch strip would use for 47 positions. For a telecom line card routing 80 or more high-speed differential pairs, this density reduction can free 50% of the connector footprint for other components.
