What are the key features of TFM-134-01-STL-D-A-P-TR?
- 34-position dual-row staggered-tail SMT layout at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch enabling 68 contacts in minimal PCB space
- Tiger Eye contact technology providing industry-leading retention force and consistent sub-20 milliohm contact resistance
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging for direct compatibility with automated pick-and-place SMT assembly lines
What is TFM-134-01-STL-D-A-P-TR used for?
The TFM-134-01-STL-D-A-P-TR is optimized for automated surface-mount assembly in high-volume production of compact data acquisition modules, FPGA evaluation boards, and multi-channel embedded controllers requiring 68 fine-pitch signals. The staggered-tail contact geometry aids solder paste release and reduces PCB pad-bridging risk during reflow, while the tape-and-reel format ensures uninterrupted machine loading on high-speed SMT lines.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the STL suffix mean on TFM-134-01-STL-D-A-P-TR, and how does it benefit SMT soldering?
The STL suffix denotes a staggered-tail lead configuration, where alternating pins are offset slightly in the through-board depth to reduce simultaneous solder-paste bridging during reflow. This geometry is especially valuable for a 68-pin connector at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch, where pad spacing is tight and a straight-tail layout would increase the risk of solder shorts between adjacent rows.
How does using tape-and-reel packaging for TFM-134-01-STL-D-A-P-TR reduce manufacturing cost?
Tape-and-reel packaging allows pick-and-place machines to load the TFM-134-01-STL-D-A-P-TR from a reel of typically 500 or 1000 pieces without operator intervention. This eliminates manual placement labor, reduces misplacement errors on 68-pin fine-pitch pads, and cuts cycle time per board. For runs exceeding 100 boards, the tape-and-reel format typically saves several seconds of placement time per unit.
For a 34-position dual-row connector, how does TFM-134-01-STL-D-A-P-TR compare to a standard 0.100 inch pitch alternative in board area usage?
At 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch, the TFM-134-01-STL-D-A-P-TR provides 68 contacts in a row length of approximately 43 mm. An equivalent 0.100 inch pitch connector for 68 contacts would need approximately 86 mm of board length, making the TFM-134 solution nearly half the size. This space saving is critical for compact embedded modules where every square millimeter of PCB area has a measurable cost.
Is TFM-134-01-STL-D-A-P-TR compatible with SAMTEC's mating receptacle series for stack-height flexibility?
Yes, the TFM-134-01-STL-D-A-P-TR mates with SAMTEC's TFM-series receptacles and compatible Tiger Eye socket strips. SAMTEC offers multiple stack heights from approximately 4 mm to over 20 mm, allowing designers to select the board-to-board separation that accommodates component height on the mating PCB. Gold over nickel contacts on both halves ensure reliable mating across the full -55°C to +125°C operating temperature range.
