What are the key features of TFM-117-01-LM-D-A-P-TR?
- 34-position dual-row (2x17) low-mated-height (LM) design at 1.27 mm pitch minimizes board-to-board separation, critical for ultra-compact stacked PCB assemblies in aerospace and defense packaging
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging supports high-throughput automated SMT pick-and-place assembly with consistent 1.27 mm pitch placement accuracy on production lines
- Tiger Eye gold-plated contacts rated to 1 A per pin provide stable low contact resistance and long mating cycle life in high-reliability embedded and avionics signal applications
What is TFM-117-01-LM-D-A-P-TR used for?
The TFM-117-01-LM-D-A-P-TR is designed for stacked board-to-board interconnect in aerospace avionics, defense modules, and compact embedded computing systems where the low-mated-height profile is essential to meeting strict z-axis space budgets. Its 34-position 1.27 mm pitch dual-row format allows engineers to route 34 signal lines through a single connector pair with minimal interboard gap. The tape-and-reel packaging enables high-volume automated PCB assembly, making it suitable for production programs requiring precise, repeatable placement of high pin count SMT connectors.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the LM designation mean in TFM-117-01-LM-D-A-P-TR, and why does it matter for stacked PCB designs?
The LM designation in TFM-117-01-LM-D-A-P-TR stands for Low Mated Height, indicating that when the mating pair is engaged, the board-to-board separation is reduced compared to standard Tiger Eye variants. For stacked PCB assemblies in aerospace avionics and compact embedded modules where z-axis clearance is limited to a few millimeters, the LM profile allows 34-position 1.27 mm pitch connectivity within a tighter interboard gap than standard-height alternatives.
How many signals can the TFM-117-01-LM-D-A-P-TR route compared to lower pin count Tiger Eye variants?
The TFM-117-01-LM-D-A-P-TR provides 34 total positions in a 2x17 dual-row layout at 1.27 mm pitch, enabling 34 independent signal or power channels through a single connector pair. Compared to 8-position or 16-position Tiger Eye variants, the 34-position design consolidates wiring from multiple smaller connectors into one footprint, reducing PCB routing complexity and the number of mated connector pairs required on a dense board assembly.
Which automated assembly benefits does the tape-and-reel packaging of the TFM-117-01-LM-D-A-P-TR deliver in production?
Tape-and-reel packaging on the TFM-117-01-LM-D-A-P-TR allows pick-and-place machines to automatically feed and place the 34-position 1.27 mm pitch connector without operator intervention between placements. This reduces placement cycle time by eliminating manual tray handling, improves positional accuracy at the 1.27 mm pitch spacing, and supports lights-out SMT production for large batch volumes in defense electronics and commercial avionics manufacturing programs.
When is the TFM-117-01-LM-D-A-P-TR preferred over the TFM-136-01-H-D-A-P-TR for board-to-board interconnect selection?
Engineers choose the TFM-117-01-LM-D-A-P-TR over the 72-position TFM-136-01-H-D-A-P-TR when the system requires only 34 signals but demands a low-mated-height profile to meet strict PCB stack height constraints. The 34-position LM variant's smaller footprint also reduces PCB real estate consumption and simplifies layout on boards where only one-half the signal count of the 72-position horizontal variant is needed.
