Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix of the part number when ordering. The base model TFM-106-02-L-D lacks packaging or tape-and-reel indicators present in variants like TFM-106-02-L-D-K-TR. Confirm whether tube or reel packaging is required for your production line to ensure compatibility with assembly equipment.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring robust mechanical retention via push-pull latches. Ensure PCB footprint matches the 1.27mm grid. Verify that mating connectors are compatible with the square pin format and shrouded design. Check current requirements against the 3.7A rating per contact.
