Tiger Eye™ High-Cycle, High-Reliability Connectors

Tiger Eye™ high-cycle, high-reliability connector systems feature Samtec's most rugged contact system rated to 1,000+ mating cycles in 0.80 mm, 1.27 mm and 2.00 mm pitches, with a variety of ruggedizing options.

Family Overview

micro rugged power interconnects video
 

Available in three pitches (0.80 mm, 1.27 mm and 2.00 mm), these micro rugged interconnects feature Samtec’s Tiger Eye™ contact system for high-reliability and high-cycle applications. The multi-finger, BeCu contacts provide redundant points of contact along with the best combination of mechanical and electrical properties. Increased design flexibility is achieved with the choice of surface mount or through-hole termination, as well as vertical or right-angle orientations and ruggedizing features such as friction latching, weld tabs and locking clips.
