Key Features
- Tiger Eye high-reliability locking contact design providing positive retention force to prevent accidental unmating under vibration or shock
- 16-position dual-row layout on 0.050-inch (1.27 mm) pitch for high-density signal routing in a compact board footprint
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enabling automated pick-and-place SMT assembly for consistent high-volume production
Applications
The TFML-108-02-F-D-P-TR is suited for high-reliability locking interconnects in ruggedized electronics including defense avionics, industrial robotics, and automotive sub-systems where 16-circuit connections must remain seated under vibration up to several g-forces. Its 0.050-inch pitch dual-row layout supports dense signal buses between daughterboards and baseboard modules. The locking terminal strip format provides tool-free mating verification in field-service applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What locking mechanism does the TFML-108-02-F-D-P-TR use to prevent unmating?
The TFML-108-02-F-D-P-TR uses Samtec's Tiger Eye locking contact geometry, which provides a positive snap-lock retention across all 16 positions at 0.050-inch pitch, maintaining reliable interconnect integrity under vibration levels common in industrial and defense equipment, typically rated above 10 g.
How does the 0.050-inch pitch of the TFML-108-02-F-D-P-TR compare to standard 0.100-inch pitch connectors in terms of board space savings?
At 0.050-inch (1.27 mm) pitch, the TFML-108-02-F-D-P-TR occupies roughly half the linear board length of an equivalent 0.100-inch pitch connector for the same 16 circuits, making it valuable in space-constrained designs such as compact embedded controllers or portable medical instruments.
Can TFML-108-02-F-D-P-TR be assembled using automated SMT pick-and-place equipment?
Yes. The TR suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging, making the TFML-108-02-F-D-P-TR compatible with standard automated pick-and-place lines. This reduces hand-placement labor costs in high-volume manufacturing and ensures positional accuracy within ±0.05 mm for the 16-position footprint.
In what ruggedized or high-reliability applications is the TFML-108-02-F-D-P-TR most appropriate?
The TFML-108-02-F-D-P-TR is most appropriate in applications requiring positive-locking 16-circuit connections that must survive shock and vibration, such as avionics line-replaceable units, ground vehicle electronics at -40 °C to +85 °C, and industrial machine safety controllers where accidental disconnection causes system failure.
