What are the key features of TFM-125-01-S-D-A-P-TR?

  • 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch dual-row configuration with 50 positions for high-density SMT board interconnects
  • Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables automated pick-and-place assembly at high production volumes without manual handling
  • Polarization key (P option) prevents reverse insertion errors during assembly and field mating operations

What is TFM-125-01-S-D-A-P-TR used for?

The TFM-125-01-S-D-A-P-TR is suited for high-volume SMT board-to-board interconnect applications in consumer electronics, telecommunications, and embedded computing. Its tape-and-reel packaging and polarized housing facilitate fully automated assembly lines with reduced risk of mis-orientation. The 50-position dual-row layout at 0.050" pitch provides substantial pin density within a minimal PCB footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions

What advantage does tape-and-reel packaging provide for the TFM-125-01-S-D-A-P-TR in high-volume production?

Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging for the TFM-125-01-S-D-A-P-TR allows automated pick-and-place machines to feed connectors at rates exceeding 3000 placements per hour without manual intervention. This eliminates the tray-to-feeder transfer step and reduces placement errors, making it cost-effective for high-volume SMT assembly of boards requiring 50-pin dual-row 0.050" pitch connectors.

How does the polarization feature of TFM-125-01-S-D-A-P-TR prevent assembly errors?

The polarization (P) option on the TFM-125-01-S-D-A-P-TR adds a mechanical asymmetry to the housing that prevents the mating connector from being inserted in the wrong orientation. Given the fine 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch and 50-position dual-row layout, a reversed insertion would damage all contacts, so the polarization key is a critical reliability feature for automated and manual assembly alike.

When should a designer select TFM-125-01-S-D-A-P-TR over a through-hole header for a new board design?

A designer should choose the TFM-125-01-S-D-A-P-TR when the PCB design requires surface-mount termination to avoid drilling 50 through-holes, reduce board thickness, and support reflow soldering at up to 260°C peak temperature. SMT mounting also lowers Z-height compared to through-hole headers, which is advantageous in stacked board assemblies where mezzanine spacing is limited to a few millimeters.
