What are the key features of TFM-134-01-FM-D-A-P-TR?

  • 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch dual-row female SMT terminal strip with 34 positions per row (68 total contacts), packaged on tape-and-reel (TR) for automated high-volume PCB assembly
  • FM (female) contact style mates with male Tiger Eye pin strips to form complete board-to-board stacks with positive retention across thousands of mating cycles
  • A-P (additional plating) option provides enhanced gold contact coverage for superior corrosion resistance and low contact resistance in signal-critical applications

What is TFM-134-01-FM-D-A-P-TR used for?

The TFM-134-01-FM-D-A-P-TR is intended for high-volume automated assembly of 68-contact mezzanine board stacks in data storage systems, FPGA development platforms, and high-speed digital communication modules. The tape-and-reel packaging integrates seamlessly with SMT pick-and-place equipment for efficient large-scale production runs. Its female dual-row configuration at 0.050-inch pitch pairs with male TFM pin strips to create reliable, high-density interconnects in compact multi-board assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions

What role does the FM (female) designation play in TFM-134-01-FM-D-A-P-TR board stacking assemblies?

The FM designation in TFM-134-01-FM-D-A-P-TR specifies a female socket contact style that receives male pin strips from the complementary TFM series, forming a complete 68-contact board-to-board stack at 0.050-inch pitch. The female-male pairing provides positive mechanical retention and reliable electrical connectivity across repeated insertions in mezzanine and daughter card assemblies.

How does the tape-and-reel (TR) packaging of TFM-134-01-FM-D-A-P-TR benefit high-volume production?

The tape-and-reel packaging of TFM-134-01-FM-D-A-P-TR enables fully automated pick-and-place SMT assembly, reducing manual handling errors and increasing placement throughput for 68-contact 0.050-inch pitch connectors. Standard reel formats hold hundreds to thousands of connectors, making the TR variant ideal for high-volume manufacturing of FPGA modules, data storage PCBs, and telecom line cards.

What enhancement does the A-P suffix provide in TFM-134-01-FM-D-A-P-TR contact performance?

The A-P suffix in TFM-134-01-FM-D-A-P-TR denotes an additional plating option that applies extra gold thickness to the mating contact surfaces beyond the standard finish. This enhanced plating reduces contact resistance, typically keeping it below 20 milliohms, and improves resistance to corrosion and oxidation in harsh or humid environments critical for high-reliability signal interconnects.

Which high-density applications are best served by TFM-134-01-FM-D-A-P-TR over 0.100-inch pitch connectors?

Applications requiring more than 48 contacts in a constrained footprint benefit most from TFM-134-01-FM-D-A-P-TR, as the 0.050-inch pitch delivers 68 total contacts in roughly half the board area of an equivalent 0.100-inch pitch dual-row connector. FPGA mezzanine boards, high-speed DSP modules, and compact data acquisition systems use this higher contact density to maximize signal routing within tight PCB size budgets.
