What are the key features of TFM-129-01-SM-D-A-P-TR?

  • 58-position dual-row surface mount terminal strip at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch enabling dense board-to-board signal routing
  • Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging supports high-volume automated pick-and-place SMT assembly for production efficiency
  • Gold flash over nickel mating contacts provide reliable low-resistance connections and extended mating cycle life

What is TFM-129-01-SM-D-A-P-TR used for?

The TFM-129-01-SM-D-A-P-TR is designed for high-volume, high-density PCB interconnect applications in computing, networking, and industrial automation where 58 signal positions at 0.050 inch pitch are required. Its tape-and-reel packaging integrates seamlessly into automated SMT production lines, reducing handling and improving placement accuracy. Medical imaging systems and data acquisition modules benefit from the Tiger Eye contact design delivering consistent signal integrity across multiple mating cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the tape-and-reel packaging of TFM-129-01-SM-D-A-P-TR improve high-volume manufacturing?

The -TR suffix designates tape-and-reel packaging, allowing automated pick-and-place machines to handle the 58-position, 0.050 inch pitch connector at speeds exceeding 10,000 placements per hour without manual intervention. This reduces placement error, improves throughput on SMT lines, and eliminates per-piece handling costs compared to tray or bulk formats.

For a 58-position signal bus on a backplane, how compact is the TFM-129-01-SM-D-A-P-TR footprint compared to 0.100 inch pitch alternatives?

At 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch with 58 positions in a dual-row configuration, the TFM-129-01-SM-D-A-P-TR occupies roughly half the PCB length of an equivalent 0.100 inch pitch connector carrying the same 58 signals. This space reduction is critical in compact backplane and mezzanine card designs where board real estate is limited.

When should a designer choose the TFM-129-01-SM-D-A-P-TR over a through-hole Tiger Eye strip for a new board design?

Designers should select the surface mount TFM-129-01-SM-D-A-P-TR when the PCB uses a single-sided SMT assembly process, when board thickness under 1.6 mm prevents through-hole via drilling, or when 0.050 inch pitch density is needed for 58 positions in under 1.5 inches of board length. Through-hole variants suit designs requiring higher pull-out force above 5 N per pin.
