What are the key features of TFM-150-12-LM-D-A-P-TR?
- High-reliability Tiger Eye dual-beam contact at 0.050" pitch delivers consistent wiping action and low contact resistance across 100 positions over extended mating cycles
- Low-profile mating height (LM) variant reduces vertical stack height in board-to-board assemblies, ideal for slim and ultra-compact electronic enclosures
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging with polarization keying (P) enables error-free automated SMT assembly in high-volume aerospace, telecom, and computing production lines
What is TFM-150-12-LM-D-A-P-TR used for?
The TFM-150-12-LM-D-A-P-TR is designed for dense board-to-board and mezzanine card interconnections in aerospace electronics, telecommunications infrastructure, and high-performance computing platforms where 100 signals must be routed at 0.050" pitch with minimal stack height. Its Tiger Eye contact technology and polarization feature make it suitable for mission-critical applications requiring both reliable electrical performance and protection against mis-mating during field assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the low-profile mating height of TFM-150-12-LM-D-A-P-TR compare to standard TFM series variants in tight-clearance assemblies?
The low-profile mating height (LM) designation on TFM-150-12-LM-D-A-P-TR means the assembled board stack is shorter than standard mating height TFM variants at the same 0.050" pitch. This reduction in vertical clearance, typically measured in fractions of a millimeter, is critical in avionics modules and compact server blades where the gap between stacked PCBs is strictly controlled and standard-height connectors at 100 positions would not fit without mechanical interference.
In avionics or space-grade assemblies, why is the Tiger Eye contact design in TFM-150-12-LM-D-A-P-TR preferred over single-beam contacts?
The Tiger Eye dual-beam contact provides redundant electrical paths at each of the 100 positions in the TFM-150-12-LM-D-A-P-TR, so if one beam loses contact due to vibration, contamination, or thermal cycling across a range such as -55°C to +125°C, the second beam maintains the connection. This redundancy is a key requirement in avionics and space-grade designs where a single open-circuit contact in a 100-position interface could cause system failure.
For a high-volume telecom line card production run, what procurement advantages does TFM-150-12-LM-D-A-P-TR offer?
TFM-150-12-LM-D-A-P-TR ships in tape-and-reel format compatible with standard SMT feeders, allowing automated pick-and-place of the 100-position dual-row connector at 0.050" pitch without manual kitting or tray handling. This TR format reduces per-board assembly time and supports Kanban-style inventory replenishment for telecom line card builds. The integrated polarization key also eliminates the need for separate assembly fixtures to prevent mis-orientation of the 100-position connector during high-speed production.
