What are the key features of TFM-133-01-STL-D-A-P-TR?
- 66-position dual-row 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch terminal strip with right-angle surface-mount tails for horizontal board-to-board or board-to-cable connections
- Tiger Eye contact technology delivers high normal force retention and reliable mating across 200+ mating cycles in demanding environments
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables high-speed automated pick-and-place assembly on standard SMT production lines
What is TFM-133-01-STL-D-A-P-TR used for?
The TFM-133-01-STL-D-A-P-TR is designed for high-density right-angle board interconnect applications in telecom blades, data center servers, and high-speed digital test equipment. Its tape-and-reel packaging supports high-volume automated assembly, reducing placement time and handling cost for 66-position SMT connectors. The 0.050" pitch right-angle configuration allows signals to exit the PCB edge horizontally, enabling compact stacked-card assemblies in rack systems with limited depth.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the TR (tape-and-reel) suffix on the TFM-133-01-STL-D-A-P-TR mean for high-volume SMT production?
The TR suffix indicates the TFM-133-01-STL-D-A-P-TR is packaged on tape and reel in quantities compatible with automated pick-and-place equipment, typically in reels of 250 to 500 pieces. This packaging eliminates manual placement of the 66-position connector, enabling placement speeds consistent with other SMT components on the production line. Without tape-and-reel packaging, large connectors like this 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch 66-pin device would typically require manual placement, adding cost and variability to high-volume PCB assembly runs.
Why would a designer choose the right-angle (STL) configuration of the TFM-133-01-STL-D-A-P-TR over a vertical terminal strip for a telecom blade interconnect?
The right-angle (STL) tails on the TFM-133-01-STL-D-A-P-TR route the 66 signal connections along the PCB plane rather than perpendicular to it, which is essential in edge-card designs where a mating connector or cable approaches from the board edge. This configuration is common in telecom blade and server daughtercard applications where cards plug horizontally into a backplane and available vertical clearance above the PCB is under 5 mm. The right-angle design also reduces the mechanical lever arm compared to a tall vertical connector, improving resistance to vibration-induced stress at the solder joints.
How does the TFM-133-01-STL-D-A-P-TR Tiger Eye contact system maintain reliability in environments with thermal cycling?
The Tiger Eye contact system in the TFM-133-01-STL-D-A-P-TR uses a cantilever beam design that maintains consistent normal force across the operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C, compensating for differential thermal expansion between the connector housing and the mating contact. Gold-plated contact surfaces with low contact resistance below 20 mΩ remain stable across repeated thermal cycles from cold storage to operating temperature, which is important for outdoor telecom equipment and industrial controllers subjected to wide ambient temperature swings. This thermal stability is critical for maintaining uninterrupted signal integrity across all 66 positions over the product's service life.
