What are the key features of TFM-115-01-S-D-A-P-TR?

  • 15-position dual-row straight SMT at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch delivering 30 contacts in an approximately 19 mm row length
  • Tiger Eye contact geometry provides superior mating retention force and contact resistance below 20 milliohms per pin
  • Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging for seamless integration with automated pick-and-place SMT production lines

What is TFM-115-01-S-D-A-P-TR used for?

The TFM-115-01-S-D-A-P-TR is designed for high-volume automated assembly of compact embedded modules, sensor interface boards, and multi-channel analog-to-digital converter cards requiring 30 fine-pitch connections in minimal PCB space. Its 0.050 inch pitch enables designers to replace a 0.100 inch pitch connector with roughly half the board footprint, and the tape-and-reel format ensures continuous feeder operation without machine stoppages.

Frequently Asked Questions

For a 30-signal sensor interface board, how does TFM-115-01-S-D-A-P-TR reduce PCB area compared to standard-pitch connectors?

The TFM-115-01-S-D-A-P-TR accommodates 30 contacts across 15 dual-row positions at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch, creating a row length of approximately 19 mm. A standard 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch connector for 30 contacts would require about 38 mm of row length. This 50 percent reduction in connector footprint frees significant PCB area for additional signal conditioning components or routing layers on constrained sensor interface designs.

What production volumes justify selecting the tape-and-reel version of TFM-115-01-S-D-A-P-TR over tray packaging?

Tape-and-reel packaging for TFM-115-01-S-D-A-P-TR is most cost-effective for production runs above approximately 200 boards per day, where automated feeder loading eliminates manual tray refills that take 30 to 60 seconds each. At quantities above 500 pieces per order, tape-and-reel pricing is often 5 to 10 percent lower per unit than tray pricing, and reel sizes of 500 or 1000 units reduce procurement frequency.

Can TFM-115-01-S-D-A-P-TR be used on both sides of a board-to-board stack, and what stack heights are available?

Yes, the TFM-115 series is designed to mate with corresponding TFM-series receptacle strips on the opposing board. SAMTEC offers mating receptacle stack heights ranging from approximately 4 mm to over 20 mm in 2 mm increments, accommodating a wide variety of component heights on the mating PCB. Gold over nickel contacts on both connector halves maintain signal integrity at frequencies up to several hundred MHz across the full -55°C to +125°C operating range.

When is TFM-115-01-S-D-A-P-TR a better choice than TFM-115-01-S-D-A-P without the TR suffix?

The TR (tape-and-reel) version is the preferred choice whenever the PCB assembly process uses automated pick-and-place equipment. The non-TR version is typically supplied in trays or cut tape, suitable for prototype builds or low-volume manual assembly of fewer than 50 boards. For medium or high volumes exceeding 200 to 500 units, the TR reel format reduces feeder changeover time and minimizes the risk of misfeeds on fine-pitch 1.27 mm SMT pads.
