What are the key features of TFM-132-01-LM-D-A-P-TR?

  • 32-position (64-contact) dual-row 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch right-angle SMT Tiger Eye terminal strip for space-constrained PCB signal routing
  • Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables fully automated pick-and-place SMT assembly for high-volume production runs
  • Right-angle (LM) contact orientation routes signals parallel to the PCB plane, reducing vertical clearance requirements

What is TFM-132-01-LM-D-A-P-TR used for?

The TFM-132-01-LM-D-A-P-TR is designed for right-angle board-to-cable or board-to-board signal connections in portable instruments, edge-mounted I/O panels, and compact embedded modules where a 0.050-inch pitch, 64-contact SMT header must exit parallel to the PCB surface. Its tape-and-reel format supports high-volume automated assembly in telecommunications equipment, medical monitoring devices, and industrial sensor nodes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the LM suffix indicate on the TFM-132-01-LM-D-A-P-TR and how does it affect connector mounting on a PCB?

The LM suffix designates a right-angle (horizontal) contact orientation, meaning the 64 contacts exit the connector body parallel to the PCB surface rather than perpendicular. This allows the TFM-132-01-LM-D-A-P-TR to serve as a low-profile edge connector in assemblies where the mating cable or board must connect from the side at 0.050-inch pitch.

How does tape-and-reel packaging on the TFM-132-01-LM-D-A-P-TR benefit high-volume SMT production?

Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging allows the TFM-132-01-LM-D-A-P-TR to be loaded directly onto standard pick-and-place machines for automated SMT assembly. This eliminates manual connector placement on the 32-position, 0.050-inch pitch footprint, improving placement accuracy and throughput in high-volume manufacturing of communications modules and portable instruments.

When selecting between the TFM-132-01-LM-D-A-P-TR and a vertical TFM-132 variant, what layout factors should guide the choice?

The right-angle LM variant directs signal connections parallel to the PCB, suited for edge-access panels and side-entry cable assemblies with 64 contacts at 0.050-inch pitch. The vertical variant is preferred when the mating connector or cable approaches perpendicular to the board. PCB height constraints, enclosure geometry, and cable routing direction are the primary selection criteria between these two TFM-132 configurations.
