What are the key features of TFM-131-12-F-D-A-P-TR?
- Tiger Eye contact technology ensures high retention force and low contact resistance across 62 dual-row positions for mission-critical interconnects
- 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch dual-row layout delivers high signal density in a compact SMT footprint suitable for space-constrained PCB designs
- Tape reel (TR) packaging with pick-and-place (P) feature enables high-volume automated SMT assembly at consistent placement accuracy
- Polarization keying prevents mis-mating across 62 positions, eliminating costly assembly errors in production and field-service environments
What is TFM-131-12-F-D-A-P-TR used for?
The TFM-131-12-F-D-A-P-TR serves as a board-to-board interconnect solution in embedded computing platforms, communications equipment, and test instrumentation requiring high pin-count interfaces at 1.27 mm pitch. Its 62-position dual-row layout accommodates parallel bus signals, high-speed serial lanes, and mixed power and signal connections in FPGA daughter card and mezzanine module designs. The tape reel packaging and polarization keying make it well suited for automated volume assembly of industrial control modules and network interface boards.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the TFM-131-12-F-D-A-P-TR provide and at what contact pitch?
The TFM-131-12-F-D-A-P-TR offers 62 positions arranged in 2 rows at a 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) contact pitch. This configuration provides 31 contacts per row, enabling it to handle wide data buses, multi-channel analog signals, or combined power and signal interfaces in a single board-to-board connector footprint.
How does the polarization feature of the TFM-131-12-F-D-A-P-TR reduce production assembly errors?
The polarization key physically blocks incorrect orientation mating across all 62 positions, preventing reversed insertion that could short 3.3 V or 5 V power pins against ground or signal contacts. In production environments processing 500 to 2000 boards per shift, this mechanical keying eliminates a common mis-assembly failure mode without requiring additional inspection steps.
What board-to-board stack height configurations are achievable with the TFM-131-12-F-D-A-P-TR?
The TFM series at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch supports board-to-board mating with compatible SAMTEC receptacles configured for stack heights typically ranging from 4 mm to 12 mm. The 12 in the part number suffix indicates the specific standoff or mating height variant, allowing system designers to choose PCB separation that fits within enclosure constraints while maintaining reliable electrical contact across 62 positions.
When is the TFM-131-12-F-D-A-P-TR preferred over the higher-position TFM-150-12-F-D-A-P-TR in a system design?
The 62-position TFM-131-12-F-D-A-P-TR is preferred when the interface requires fewer than 100 signals, as it reduces PCB footprint length by approximately 38 percent compared to the 100-position TFM-150 variant while maintaining the same 0.050 inch pitch, Tiger Eye contact quality, and tape reel packaging. This size reduction is beneficial in 50 mm x 50 mm module designs where connector length must remain under 40 mm.
