What are the key features of TFM-136-12-FM-D-A-P-TR?

  • 72-position dual-row layout on 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch for very high-density board-to-board and wire-to-board interconnect
  • Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging with pick-and-place pads (P) enables automated SMT placement in high-volume production
  • Tiger Eye precision-machined contacts with flush mount (FM) option deliver superior contact force and reliable high-cycle mating performance

What is TFM-136-12-FM-D-A-P-TR used for?

The TFM-136-12-FM-D-A-P-TR serves high-density interconnect requirements in industrial automation, defense electronics, and test and measurement systems where a 1.27 mm pitch connector with 72 positions is needed. The flush mount contact style provides a low-profile interface suited to compact PCB assemblies and backplane routing applications with tight stacking height constraints. Tape-and-reel packaging with pick-and-place pads ensures accurate and efficient automated placement in volume SMT production environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many pins does the TFM-136-12-FM-D-A-P-TR provide and what is its contact pitch?

The TFM-136-12-FM-D-A-P-TR provides 72 pins arranged in a dual-row configuration with 36 pins per row on a 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch. This high-density layout enables efficient signal and power distribution across a compact PCB footprint in industrial controllers, defense modules, and test equipment requiring large pin counts.

How does the flush mount (FM) contact option in the TFM-136-12-FM-D-A-P-TR benefit board stacking designs?

The flush mount contact style reduces the above-board connector height, enabling tighter board stacking with a lower overall assembly profile in multi-board systems. This is especially valuable in compact enclosures where 72-pin high-density 1.27 mm pitch interconnect is required without adding excessive board separation height or increasing system envelope size.

Why do volume manufacturers select the TR and P options of the TFM-136-12-FM-D-A-P-TR for production lines?

Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging feeds the TFM-136-12-FM-D-A-P-TR directly into automated SMT pick-and-place machines, while the integrated pick-and-place pads (P) ensure accurate positioning of all 72 pins on the PCB. This combination reduces placement errors, increases throughput, and lowers assembly cost in high-volume industrial electronics manufacturing.
