Frequently Asked Questions
How many pins does the TFC-136-02-L-D-A provide, and in what configuration?
The TFC-136-02-L-D-A provides 72 positions arranged in a dual-row, through-hole configuration with a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. This high pin count is well-suited for backplane connections, industrial control modules, and embedded computing boards requiring dense signal routing between PCBs.
For which PCB assembly methods is the TFC-136-02-L-D-A terminal strip compatible?
The TFC-136-02-L-D-A uses through-hole mounting and is compatible with wave soldering and selective soldering processes. The through-hole pins provide strong mechanical retention, making it suitable for vibration-prone environments such as industrial machinery and transportation electronics operating at temperatures from -55°C to +125°C.
When would a designer choose TFC-136-02-L-D-A over a shorter version like TFC-124-02?
A designer would choose the TFC-136-02-L-D-A when the application requires 72 signal positions versus the 48 positions of the TFC-124-02 series. The additional 24 pins at the same 1.27 mm pitch allow routing of more data, power, or control lines between mating boards without increasing connector width, making it ideal for larger FPGA or DSP carrier boards.
What Tiger Eye contact features improve long-term reliability in the TFC-136-02-L-D-A?
SAMTEC Tiger Eye contacts feature a bifurcated wiping action that maintains contact resistance below 20 milliohms across 1000+ mating cycles. The dual contact point design compensates for minor surface contamination, ensuring consistent signal integrity in 72-pin dual-row strip configurations over the product lifetime.
