Frequently Asked Questions
What pin count and pitch does the TFC-136-02-FM-D-A offer for high-density PCB interconnect?
The TFC-136-02-FM-D-A provides 72 contact positions in a dual-row arrangement at a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. This high pin count allows a large number of digital, analog, or power signals to pass through a single compact connector, reducing board area compared to using multiple lower-count connectors.
What is the FM tail style on the TFC-136-02-FM-D-A, and how does it affect PCB assembly?
The FM tail is a surface-mount termination style designed for reflow soldering at peak temperatures up to approximately 260°C. Connectors with FM tails are placed by standard pick-and-place equipment on 1.27 mm pitch SMT land patterns, making the TFC-136-02-FM-D-A suitable for fully automated PCB assembly lines running high-volume production with minimal manual handling.
How does choosing the TFC-136-02-FM-D-A reduce system cost compared to using multiple smaller connectors?
Consolidating 72 signals into a single TFC-136-02-FM-D-A connector reduces the number of separate connector SKUs on the BOM, lowers total connector-to-connector alignment complexity, and cuts assembly time by eliminating multiple placement operations. The Tiger Eye cost-effective design further reduces per-unit connector cost in quantities of hundreds or thousands, making it practical for commercial networking and industrial I/O products.
In which commercial industries is the TFC-136-02-FM-D-A typically deployed?
The TFC-136-02-FM-D-A is commonly used in commercial networking switches and routers needing 72-pin module interfaces, industrial data acquisition systems routing analog and digital I/O signals, and communications test equipment requiring high-density board interconnect. Its 0.050" pitch and 72 positions cover the signal density needed in these industries without paying the premium cost of high-reliability aerospace-grade connectors.
