What are the key features of TFM-116-01-LM-D-A-P-TR?
- 32-position dual-row 0.050" pitch Tiger Eye strip in tape-and-reel (TR) format, enabling automated SMT pick-and-place for high-volume board production
- Low-profile mating (LM) design reduces the mated connector height, critical for thin PCB stacks and low-clearance enclosures with less than 6 mm vertical space
- Pin-retainer (P) feature maintains all 32 dual-row contacts at exact 0.050" pitch during reflow, eliminating pin-shift defects and improving solder joint quality
What is TFM-116-01-LM-D-A-P-TR used for?
The TFM-116-01-LM-D-A-P-TR is suited for compact surface mount board-to-board interconnect applications in portable instruments, embedded control modules, and thin telecommunications equipment. Its low-profile mating feature makes it ideal for slim enclosure designs where the mated connector height must be minimized to fit within tight mechanical envelopes. The tape-and-reel format ensures compatibility with automated SMT production lines handling large volumes of 32-position dual-row connectors.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the low-profile mating (LM) designation affect the mated height of the TFM-116-01-LM-D-A-P-TR in a stacked assembly?
The LM designation indicates that the mated connector profile is reduced compared to standard mating configurations, typically achieving a mated height of under 5 mm above the PCB surface. This allows board stacks to fit within enclosures with total internal heights as low as 8 mm to 10 mm, which is critical for slim handheld and portable devices.
What advantage does the pin-retainer option provide for the 32-position TFM-116-01-LM-D-A-P-TR during the SMT reflow process?
The pin-retainer (P) mechanically locks all 32 dual-row contacts at their designed 0.050" pitch positions throughout the reflow cycle, preventing thermal expansion from shifting any pin out of alignment. Maintaining pin position accuracy to within ±0.025 mm reduces the incidence of solder bridges and open joints in automated production.
For a 32-circuit board-to-board interface, when is the TFM-116-01-LM-D-A-P-TR a better choice than a wire-to-board connector?
A direct board-to-board strip like the TFM-116-01-LM-D-A-P-TR eliminates the cable harness entirely, reducing assembly cost and potential failure points when two boards are always mounted together within the same enclosure. It also enables shorter signal paths, reducing signal delay by several nanoseconds compared to a cable routed between the same boards.
How does tape-and-reel (TR) availability influence the procurement decision for the TFM-116-01-LM-D-A-P-TR in high-volume manufacturing?
Tape-and-reel availability is essential for automated SMT lines running the TFM-116-01-LM-D-A-P-TR at volumes above 500 pieces per batch, as it eliminates manual component feeding and allows continuous placement of the 32-position connector at machine speeds of 3,000 to 5,000 placements per hour.
