What are the key features of TFC-136-02-LM-D-K-TR?

  • 72-position dual-row terminal strip at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch for high-density signal interconnection in compact PCB layouts
  • Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables fully automated high-volume pick-and-place SMT assembly without manual handling
  • Tiger Eye contact geometry delivers consistent low insertion force and reliable contact resistance across multiple mating cycles

What is TFC-136-02-LM-D-K-TR used for?

The TFC-136-02-LM-D-K-TR is designed for high-volume SMT production of embedded computing boards, wireless module base stations, and signal processing cards requiring 72-position dual-row connectivity. Its tape-and-reel packaging and 1.27 mm pitch footprint streamline automated assembly in consumer electronics and industrial IoT gateways. This terminal strip is a cost-effective choice for mezzanine-to-baseboard interfaces where pin density and assembly throughput are both critical.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many positions per row does TFC-136-02-LM-D-K-TR provide and at what pitch?

The TFC-136-02-LM-D-K-TR provides 72 total positions in a dual-row configuration, yielding 36 pins per row on a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. This density supports parallel signal buses and mixed power-and-signal interfaces in compact PCB form factors, commonly seen in SOM carrier boards and industrial I/O modules where board real estate is limited.

What assembly method is required for TFC-136-02-LM-D-K-TR, and does the tape-and-reel format help?

The TFC-136-02-LM-D-K-TR is a surface mount component and must be placed using automated SMT pick-and-place equipment followed by reflow soldering. The tape-and-reel (TR) packaging format is specifically designed to feed components at a consistent pitch into automated placement machines, supporting high-volume production runs of thousands of units per reel with minimal operator intervention and consistent placement accuracy across the 72-position footprint.

When should a designer choose TFC-136-02-LM-D-K-TR over a higher-cost connector for a mezzanine interface?

The TFC-136-02-LM-D-K-TR is a cost-effective choice when the mezzanine interface requires 72 positions at 1.27 mm pitch and does not demand high-cycle mating or controlled-impedance differential pair routing. For applications with fewer than 50 mating cycles and signal speeds below 1 GHz per pin, the Tiger Eye terminal strip delivers adequate electrical and mechanical performance at a lower per-unit cost compared to high-reliability alternatives such as Samtec's SEARAY or similar high-cycle connectors.
