What are the key features of TFM-118-01-F-D-A-P-TR?

  • 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch dual-row terminal strip with 36 positions (18 per row) in tape-and-reel (TR) packaging for automated SMT assembly
  • P (power) contact option supports higher current capacity per pin, enabling mixed signal and power routing through a single 36-position connector
  • Horizontal (A) exit angle combined with flush (F) profile enables right-angle mating with minimal PCB height above the board surface

What is TFM-118-01-F-D-A-P-TR used for?

The TFM-118-01-F-D-A-P-TR is designed for compact power and signal board-to-board connections in portable instruments, FPGA mezzanine modules, and high-density embedded computing cards. Its tape-and-reel packaging enables automated SMT assembly at production volumes, while the P-rated power contacts allow routing of supply rails alongside data signals through a single 36-position 0.050" pitch connector footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many positions does the TFM-118-01-F-D-A-P-TR provide, and what is its contact pitch?

The TFM-118-01-F-D-A-P-TR provides 36 total positions in a dual-row layout with 18 contacts per row, all on a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. This compact configuration allows engineers to route 36 mixed power and signal lines through a connector footprint roughly half the size of an equivalent 0.100" pitch device.

What does the P-rated contact option add to the TFM-118-01-F-D-A-P-TR compared to a standard signal contact?

The P (power) contact option on the TFM-118-01-F-D-A-P-TR increases the current-carrying capacity per pin compared to standard signal contacts, allowing select positions to carry supply voltages such as 3.3 V, 5 V, or 12 V rails alongside digital data lines. This eliminates the need for a separate power connector, reducing total component count and PCB area in compact board-to-board designs.

Why is the tape-and-reel (TR) variant of the TFM-118-01-F-D-A-P-TR preferred for high-volume SMT production over cut-tape formats?

The TR (tape-and-reel) packaging of the TFM-118-01-F-D-A-P-TR feeds directly into standard pick-and-place machines without operator handling, which is essential for production volumes above 500 units per run. Continuous tape eliminates the per-strip loading interruptions associated with cut-tape formats, reducing SMT line downtime and maintaining consistent placement accuracy across all 36 positions in every connector.
