Key Features
- 72-position dual-row terminal strip on 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch delivering high pin density in a compact SMT footprint
- Tiger Eye contact technology provides low insertion force with high normal force, enabling reliable mating over thousands of cycles
- Tape-and-reel packaging (TR suffix) supports automated high-volume SMT pick-and-place assembly for efficient production
Applications
The TFM-136-01-L-D-A-P-TR is designed for high-density board-to-board interconnect in aerospace avionics, military electronics, and medical instrumentation where 72 pins at 0.050" pitch must maintain signal integrity under vibration and thermal cycling. Its tape-and-reel packaging makes it suited for automated SMT production lines processing high volumes of module-to-baseboard assemblies. The Tiger Eye contact system also makes it a preferred choice for test and measurement mezzanine card applications where repeated mating and unmating cycles are expected.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pin count and pitch does the TFM-136-01-L-D-A-P-TR offer for board-to-board connections?
The TFM-136-01-L-D-A-P-TR provides 72 positions in a dual-row layout on a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, with 36 contacts per row. This combination supports high-density signal and power routing between boards while maintaining a compact PCB footprint suitable for mezzanine card and module designs.
How does the tape-and-reel packaging of the TFM-136-01-L-D-A-P-TR benefit automated SMT manufacturing?
The tape-and-reel (TR) packaging allows the TFM-136-01-L-D-A-P-TR to be fed directly into standard SMT pick-and-place machines, reducing handling time and placement errors in high-volume production. This packaging is particularly advantageous for 72-pin connectors in aerospace or industrial programs where consistent placement accuracy and traceability across thousands of boards are required.
When is the TFM-136-01-L-D-A-P-TR a better choice than a standard 0.100" pitch dual-row connector?
The TFM-136-01-L-D-A-P-TR is preferred when the PCB area budget is tight and 72 contacts must fit in the space that a 0.100" pitch connector would need for only 36 contacts. The 0.050" pitch reduces the connector length by half, freeing board space for other components, while the Tiger Eye contact system maintains the high-reliability mating performance needed in aerospace or medical designs.
