What are the key features of TFM-136-01-S-D-A-P-TR?
- 72-position dual-row Tiger Eye terminal strip at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch in tape-and-reel packaging, enabling high-throughput automated SMT pick-and-place assembly for high-volume production runs
- P-style mechanical retention clips anchoring the connector to the PCB in addition to SMT solder joints, resisting pull-out and vibration-induced joint fatigue in 72-circuit board interconnects
- Single-sided surface-mount termination with precise 1.27 mm pitch footprint providing maximum routing density for high-channel-count signal interfaces in compact embedded and medical device designs
What is TFM-136-01-S-D-A-P-TR used for?
The TFM-136-01-S-D-A-P-TR is designed for automated high-volume production of compact 72-pin dual-row signal interconnects in embedded computing, medical imaging equipment, and telecommunications boards where 1.27 mm pitch fine-contact density is required. Its tape-and-reel format supports continuous SMT feeder placement at production speeds exceeding 1000 parts per hour, significantly reducing assembly cost per unit. Engineers specify this connector in designs that require reliable 72-circuit connectivity in vibration-prone or mechanically stressed environments, supported by the P-style retention clip system.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 72-position dual-row layout of the TFM-136-01-S-D-A-P-TR compare to using two separate 36-position connectors?
Using a single TFM-136-01-S-D-A-P-TR with 72 positions at 1.27 mm pitch consolidates all 72 circuits into one footprint measuring approximately 45 mm in row length, whereas two separate 36-position connectors would require two distinct footprints plus spacing between them, increasing total board area by 10 mm to 20 mm. A single connector also reduces solder joint count variation and simplifies PCB routing by keeping all 72 signal returns at a common reference in the dual-row ground-signal architecture.
In which medical or industrial applications does the TFM-136-01-S-D-A-P-TR provide a reliable long-term interconnect solution?
This connector is well-suited for medical imaging front-ends, patient monitoring boards, and industrial data acquisition modules that must route 72 analog or digital signals reliably across operating temperatures from -40°C to +85°C. The Tiger Eye contact system is rated for thousands of mating cycles with stable contact resistance, making it appropriate for modules that undergo periodic removal for calibration or maintenance in clinical and industrial settings where connector integrity directly affects system measurement accuracy.
What are the procurement advantages of ordering TFM-136-01-S-D-A-P-TR in tape-and-reel format versus bulk tray packaging?
Tape-and-reel ordering of the TFM-136-01-S-D-A-P-TR allows direct loading into SMT machine feeders without manual part-by-part placement, reducing per-unit assembly labor from approximately 5 seconds to under 1 second per connector at rated machine speed. Reel quantities typically contain 500 to 1000 parts per reel, minimizing changeover frequency on production lines. For programs exceeding 1000 units per year, the TR packaging premium is recovered within the first production run through labor savings alone.
