Frequently Asked Questions
What pitch and position count does the TFC-136-02-FM-D-A-K offer for high-density interconnects?
The TFC-136-02-FM-D-A-K provides 72 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration with a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. This compact pitch makes it suitable for high-density PCB layouts in telecommunications, industrial control, and embedded computing applications where board space is limited.
What makes the Tiger Eye contact design in TFC-136-02-FM-D-A-K different from standard socket contacts?
The Tiger Eye contact design features a unique dual-beam wiping geometry that maintains consistent contact force across 500 or more mating cycles. This results in contact resistance below 20 milliohms and superior reliability compared to standard single-beam contacts, making it ideal for applications requiring frequent connector mating in test and measurement systems.
Is the TFC-136-02-FM-D-A-K compatible with standard SMT reflow assembly processes?
Yes, the TFC-136-02-FM-D-A-K uses a surface mount (SMT) footprint compatible with standard reflow soldering at peak temperatures up to 260°C. This enables automated pick-and-place assembly for high-volume PCB production, reducing assembly costs in industrial and telecommunications equipment manufacturing.
How does the TFC-136-02-FM-D-A-K compare to a through-hole terminal strip with the same 72-position count?
The TFC-136-02-FM-D-A-K SMT variant eliminates 72 through-holes per connector, reducing PCB drill cost and enabling double-sided component placement. The 0.050" pitch dual-row format also achieves a smaller PCB footprint than most through-hole alternatives, which typically require 2.54 mm pitch for the same 72-position count.
