What are the key features of TFM-128-01-FM-D-A-P-TR?
- 56-position dual-row Tiger Eye terminal strip at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch in tape-and-reel packaging, optimized for high-volume automated SMT pick-and-place assembly lines
- FM (female-male) dual-contact configuration enabling pass-through or board-to-board stacking at fine 1.27 mm pitch, supporting versatile interconnect architectures in compact modules
- Right-angle surface-mount termination with positive retention P-style clips providing mechanical anchoring to the PCB for resistance to vibration and connector pull-out forces
What is TFM-128-01-FM-D-A-P-TR used for?
The TFM-128-01-FM-D-A-P-TR is designed for automated SMT assembly of high-density 56-pin dual-row signal interconnects in portable instruments, medical devices, and embedded computing boards where 1.27 mm pitch and right-angle orientation are required. Its tape-and-reel format reduces handling time on high-speed production lines, while the Tiger Eye contact system ensures reliable signal performance over thousands of mating cycles. This connector is also specified in daughtercard and mezzanine board designs where the right-angle exit angle accommodates internal cable routing constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the right-angle SMT termination of the TFM-128-01-FM-D-A-P-TR benefit PCB layout compared to a vertical version?
The right-angle termination routes the mating cable or connector horizontally along the board rather than vertically above it, reducing the assembly's overall height profile above the PCB by the height of the mated plug. For a 56-position dual-row 1.27 mm pitch connector, this can save 5 mm to 10 mm of vertical clearance inside an enclosure, making the TFM-128-01-FM-D-A-P-TR preferred in slim portable devices and stacked-board systems where vertical space is the primary constraint.
What retention advantage do the P-style clips on the TFM-128-01-FM-D-A-P-TR provide in vibration-prone environments?
The P-style press-fit retention clips anchor the connector housing mechanically to the PCB surface in addition to the solder joints on the 56 SMT termination pads, distributing pull-out and shear forces across a larger PCB attachment area. This reduces stress on individual solder joints in environments subject to vibration above 5 g or mechanical shock, such as vehicle electronics, industrial robotics, or portable field instruments, where a connector relying solely on SMT pad adhesion could develop cracked joints over time.
What production volume scenarios justify choosing the tape-and-reel TFM-128-01-FM-D-A-P-TR over a tray-packaged version of the same connector?
Tape-and-reel packaging becomes cost-effective when production volumes exceed roughly 500 to 1000 units per run, as the TR format allows continuous feeder-based placement at speeds of 2000 to 5000 parts per hour on standard SMT lines, versus manual or tray-fed placement at 200 to 500 parts per hour. For the 56-position TFM-128-01-FM-D-A-P-TR, the TR version eliminates the need for operators to individually load connectors into placement nozzles, reducing cycle time and placement error rates in high-mix, high-volume production environments.
