Frequently Asked Questions

What orientation and mounting style distinguish the TFM-136-02-STL-D-RA from vertical TFM variants?

The TFM-136-02-STL-D-RA is a right-angle (RA) surface-mount tall (STL) variant offering 72 pins at a 0.050-inch pitch. This orientation routes signals perpendicular to the board plane, ideal for stacked PCB assemblies where a horizontal mating interface is required and vertical clearance is limited.

How does the Tiger Eye mechanism on the TFM-136-02-STL-D-RA protect connections in high-vibration environments?

The Tiger Eye locking feature on the TFM-136-02-STL-D-RA mechanically secures all 72 pins to prevent disconnection under shock and vibration. This high-reliability design targets industrial, aerospace, and defense applications that operate across extended temperatures from -55°C to +125°C without additional retention hardware.

Can the TFM-136-02-STL-D-RA be assembled using standard SMT reflow processes?

Yes, the TFM-136-02-STL-D-RA is designed for surface-mount reflow assembly compatible with peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C. Its SMT footprint allows automated pick-and-place handling of the 72-pin dual-row connector, supporting efficient high-volume production lines using standard soldering profiles.
