Key Features
- 100 positions in a dual-row 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch SMT vertical strip with Tiger Eye high-reliability contact system for superior mating retention
- Split board-lock retention mechanism secures the 2.625" long connector body during reflow soldering and mechanical stress events
- Matte tin over nickel (50 µin) contact finish balances solderability and corrosion resistance across 100 signal positions in dense SMT assemblies
Applications
The TFM-150-02-S-D-LC provides 100-signal board-to-board interconnect in high-density embedded computing, FPGA daughtercards, and industrial communication modules requiring 0.050" pitch vertical SMT connectors. Its Tiger Eye contact system maintains reliable electrical connection under vibration and thermal cycling in military, aerospace, and industrial instrumentation applications. The split board-lock feature ensures mechanical stability during automated reflow assembly of the 2.625" long connector body.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does TFM-150-02-S-D-LC provide, and how are they laid out across the connector body?
The TFM-150-02-S-D-LC provides 100 total positions arranged in a dual-row configuration at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, with 50 positions per row. The connector body measures 2.625 inches long and 0.225 inches wide, making it one of the more compact options for routing 100 signals in a vertical surface mount orientation.
What retention mechanism does TFM-150-02-S-D-LC use to maintain board registration during SMT assembly?
The TFM-150-02-S-D-LC uses a split board-lock mounting option that snaps into PCB holes at both ends of the 2.625" body, mechanically anchoring the connector before and during reflow soldering. This prevents shifting of the 100-position strip under solder paste surface tension forces, ensuring all 100 contact terminations land accurately on their respective pads.
Which high-density applications benefit from TFM-150-02-S-D-LC over a standard 0.100" pitch alternative?
Applications requiring 100 signals in the footprint of a 0.050" pitch connector benefit most, including FPGA mezzanine boards, high-channel-count DAQ systems, and dense backplane interconnects. At 0.050" pitch versus 0.100" alternatives, the TFM-150-02-S-D-LC uses approximately half the board edge length, freeing valuable PCB perimeter for other connectors or circuitry in compact rack-mounted instruments and embedded computing modules.
