Frequently Asked Questions
How many total pins does TFM-118-01-H-D-A-P-TR provide, and how does the dual-row layout benefit PCB space efficiency?
The TFM-118-01-H-D-A-P-TR provides 36 pins total across 2 rows of 18 positions at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch. The dual-row layout doubles the pin density compared to single-row alternatives, reducing the connector footprint by up to 50% on the PCB while maintaining the same pin count for dense signal routing.
What reel configuration does TFM-118-01-H-D-A-P-TR use, and how does it support high-volume PCB assembly?
The TFM-118-01-H-D-A-P-TR is supplied in tape-and-reel format, compatible with standard SMT pick-and-place machines used in high-volume production. This packaging supports reflow soldering at peak temperatures up to 260°C per IPC J-STD-020, enabling throughputs of thousands of units per hour in automated assembly lines for consumer and industrial electronics.
When would an engineer select TFM-118-01-H-D-A-P-TR over a 0.100 inch pitch connector for a board-stacking application?
An engineer would choose TFM-118-01-H-D-A-P-TR over a standard 0.100 inch pitch connector when the PCB footprint must remain below 25 mm in length while still routing 36 signals. The 0.050 inch pitch reduces the 18-position row length by half compared to 0.100 inch alternatives, freeing board area for decoupling capacitors or other critical components in compact embedded modules.
What industries commonly use SAMTEC Tiger Eye TFM series connectors like the TFM-118-01-H-D-A-P-TR?
SAMTEC Tiger Eye TFM series connectors are widely used in telecommunications equipment, industrial control systems, and medical instrumentation where reliable board-to-board connections with 36 pins at 0.050 inch pitch are needed. Their surface mount profile and high reliability also make them popular in defense electronics and test-and-measurement instruments that demand consistent performance across extended temperature ranges.
