Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Tiger Eye contact technology in TFM-147-13-S-D, and how does it improve connector reliability?

Tiger Eye is SAMTEC's dual-beam contact system designed to deliver higher and more consistent normal force against mating pins compared to single-beam contacts. For TFM-147-13-S-D operating at 1.27 mm (0.050") pitch across 94 positions, this translates into lower and more stable contact resistance over thousands of mating cycles, making it ideal for test sockets, field-swappable modules, and high-reliability aerospace interconnects.

How many total signal positions does TFM-147-13-S-D support, and how are they distributed across the dual-row layout?

TFM-147-13-S-D provides 94 total positions arranged in a dual-row (D) configuration at 1.27 mm (0.050") pitch, with 47 contacts per row. This fine pitch and high contact count make it suitable for wide parallel data buses, FPGA I/O breakout boards, and high-channel-count signal routing applications where board space is limited.

How does TFM-147-13-S-D at 0.050" pitch compare to standard 0.100" pitch terminal strips for FPGA module designs?

At 1.27 mm (0.050") pitch, TFM-147-13-S-D achieves approximately twice the contact density of standard 2.54 mm (0.100") pitch connectors for the same board length. For FPGA mezzanine designs with 94 or more I/O signals, the fine 0.050" pitch is essential to keep the connector footprint compact enough to fit within standard FMC or custom mezzanine card dimensions without requiring a larger PCB.
