Applications
The TFC-132-02-LM-D-A-K-TR is designed for high-density mezzanine interconnect applications in FPGAs, embedded computing modules, and data acquisition boards that require 64-pin dual-row connectivity at 1.27 mm pitch. Its Tiger Eye contact system and locking hardware make it suitable for industrial, defense, and communications equipment subject to vibration. The tape-and-reel format supports seamless integration into high-volume automated PCB assembly lines.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the TFC-132-02-LM-D-A-K-TR provide, and how are they arranged across the connector?
The TFC-132-02-LM-D-A-K-TR provides 64 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration with 32 pins per row, using a 0.050" (1.27 mm) center-to-center pitch. This dual-row, fine-pitch layout allows 64 signal or power connections in roughly the same PCB footprint that a single-row 32-position connector at 2.54 mm pitch would occupy.
What advantage does SAMTEC's Tiger Eye contact technology give the TFC-132-02-LM-D-A-K-TR over standard box connectors?
Tiger Eye contacts feature a patented two-point wiping beam design that sweeps oxidation and debris away from the mating surface during insertion, maintaining contact resistance below a few milliohms across all 64 pins. This contact geometry also allows lower insertion force compared to conventional dual-beam sockets, reducing connector wear over hundreds of mating cycles typical in test-fixture or removable-module applications.
In a defense or industrial application with significant vibration, how does the K locking hardware on TFC-132-02-LM-D-A-K-TR prevent connector dropout?
The K option integrates a metal retention latch that physically locks the mated assembly until deliberately released, preventing axial separation under shock loads and continuous vibration. Systems tested to MIL-STD-202 Method 204 random vibration profiles at 10 Hz to 2 kHz can rely on the locking mechanism to keep all 64 pins engaged, avoiding intermittent opens that could cause data errors or system faults in flight computers or motor controllers.
Is the TFC-132-02-LM-D-A-K-TR suitable for a high-volume SMT reflow production process, and what packaging format ships with it?
Yes, the TR suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging, which feeds directly into automated pick-and-place machines for placement accuracy within ±0.05 mm. The surface mount termination of the TFC series is compatible with lead-free reflow profiles peaking at 260°C, and the 64-position part fits standard reel widths used in high-volume electronics manufacturing, enabling throughput of hundreds of boards per hour.
