TFM-106-02-S-D-LC-TR

Headers, Male Pins Overview

Samtec TFM-106-02-S-D-LC-TR is a surface-mount header in the Tiger Eye TFM series, featuring a 1.27mm pitch and 12 positions across two rows. It utilizes square phosphor bronze contacts with 30µin gold plating for mating surfaces and tin for termination. The connector employs a push-pull retention mechanism and includes four-wall shielding. Rated for 250VAC and 3.7A per contact, it operates within -55°C to 125°C using black LCP insulation rated UL94 V-0.
