What are the key features of TFM-117-22-FM-D-A-P-TR?
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables automated SMT pick-and-place assembly for high-volume production of 34-pin dual-row board interconnects at .050 inch pitch
- Tiger Eye contact geometry across all 34 pins maintains consistent normal force for reliable low-resistance mating in high-vibration aerospace and defense environments
- Alignment post (-A) feature guides mating connector halves into precise registration before pin engagement, preventing contact damage during repeated blind-mate insertions
- .050 inch pitch dual-row layout provides twice the contact density of standard .100 inch connectors, enabling high signal-count interconnects within minimal PCB footprints
What is TFM-117-22-FM-D-A-P-TR used for?
The TFM-117-22-FM-D-A-P-TR Tiger Eye terminal strip is designed for rugged board-to-board and mezzanine card interconnect in defense electronics, aerospace avionics, and high-reliability industrial systems where .050 inch pitch density, alignment accuracy, and high mating-cycle reliability are critical. Its 34-pin dual-row layout with alignment posts supports accurate blind-mate insertion on field-replaceable modules and vibration-exposed backplanes. Tape-and-reel packaging streamlines automated SMT production of rugged embedded computing boards, PXI modules, and ruggedized communication systems requiring high-reliability Tiger Eye interconnect.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the pin count and stack height of the TFM-117-22-FM-D-A-P-TR Tiger Eye terminal strip?
The TFM-117-22-FM-D-A-P-TR provides 34 pins in a dual-row layout with 17 contacts per row at .050 inch pitch. The -22 designator reflects a 0.22 inch stack height that determines board-to-board separation in mezzanine and daughtercard stacking assemblies used in rugged aerospace, defense, and industrial embedded computing designs.
How does the tape-and-reel packaging of the TFM-117-22-FM-D-A-P-TR benefit high-volume SMT production?
The -TR tape-and-reel designation makes the TFM-117-22-FM-D-A-P-TR directly compatible with automated SMT pick-and-place machines, enabling consistent, high-throughput board assembly without manual component handling. This is particularly valuable in defense, aerospace, and industrial production runs where placing 34-pin dual-row Tiger Eye connectors at .050 inch pitch must be repeatable and fast across hundreds or thousands of boards.
Why choose the TFM-117-22-FM-D-A-P-TR with alignment posts over a variant without them for field-replaceable mezzanine modules?
The -A alignment post on the TFM-117-22-FM-D-A-P-TR guides the mating connector into precise registration before any of the 34 pins make electrical contact, preventing contact-bending misalignment during blind-mate insertion in field-service environments. Without alignment posts, repeated removal and insertion of densely-pitched .050 inch connectors risks pin damage, making the -A variant essential for high-cycle replaceable modules in rugged defense and industrial installations.
