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

  • 50-position dual-row SMT terminal strip at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch supporting high-density mezzanine board-to-board interconnects
  • Tiger Eye multi-finger contacts maintain stable contact resistance below 20 milliohms across 500+ insertion cycles
  • Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables direct automated pick-and-place loading on high-volume SMT production lines

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

The TFM-125-01-SM-D-A-P-TR is engineered for high-density mezzanine and daughter-card interconnects in military, avionics, and high-reliability industrial electronics requiring 50 signal lines at 1.27 mm pitch. The above-board (A) configuration provides the vertical clearance needed for components mounted between the base and mezzanine boards, while the polarized (P) housing eliminates mis-mating in safety-critical assemblies. Tape-and-reel packaging streamlines high-volume automated SMT manufacturing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the above-board (A) option on TFM-125-01-SM-D-A-P-TR mean for board-to-board stack height?

The above-board option positions the 50-position dual-row terminal strip contacts so they extend above the PCB surface, increasing the total mezzanine stack height by approximately 1 mm to 3 mm compared to a flush-mount configuration. This additional clearance at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch allows passives or decoupling capacitors to be placed on the base board surface beneath the mezzanine layer without mechanical interference, a common requirement in compact embedded computing and avionics module designs.

For a high-cycle military connector application, why is Tiger Eye contact technology specified over a standard single-beam design?

Tiger Eye contacts use a multi-beam wiping action that distributes the normal contact force across multiple fingers, maintaining reliable electrical engagement below 20 milliohms contact resistance across more than 500 mating cycles. Standard single-beam contacts degrade more rapidly under repeated insertion in military field-replaceable units and test sockets, where the TFM-125-01-SM-D-A-P-TR's 50-position Tiger Eye contacts must retain performance through environmental stress including -55°C to 125°C temperature cycling per MIL-STD-810.

How does the polarized (P) housing on the TFM-125-01-SM-D-A-P-TR prevent mis-mating in a 50-pin mezzanine assembly?

The polarized housing incorporates a mechanical key feature that physically blocks the mating 50-position connector from engaging in any incorrect orientation, preventing reversed insertion that could apply 3.3 V or 5 V supply rails to logic signal pins on the mezzanine board. This polarization is mandatory in avionics line-replaceable units and military computing modules where a single mis-mated 50-pin connection could damage ASICs or FPGAs worth hundreds of dollars in production assemblies.
