What are the key features of TFM-136-22-L-D-A-P-TR?

  • 72-position dual-row Tiger Eye terminal strip at 0.050" pitch optimized for compact, high-density board-to-board interconnect designs
  • Low-profile (L) contact style reduces mated stack height for space-constrained mezzanine board and module applications
  • Tape-and-reel (TR) format allows automated pick-and-place SMT assembly, reducing placement time and improving yield in volume production

What is TFM-136-22-L-D-A-P-TR used for?

The TFM-136-22-L-D-A-P-TR is designed for board-to-board stacking and mezzanine interconnect applications where a 72-position, 0.050" pitch connector is needed with a low mated stack height. It is used in embedded computing modules, signal processing daughter cards, and compact industrial control boards requiring reliable multi-channel signal routing in a small SMT footprint. The Tiger Eye contact design ensures long-term mating reliability for systems that undergo frequent insertion cycles or operate in harsh environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many signal positions does TFM-136-22-L-D-A-P-TR provide in its dual-row 0.050" pitch layout?

The TFM-136-22-L-D-A-P-TR provides 72 contact positions arranged in 2 rows with 36 positions per row at a 0.050" pitch. This layout supports routing of up to 36 differential pairs or 72 single-ended signals between stacked boards, making it appropriate for signal processor daughter cards and embedded computing mezzanine boards where pin count and compactness are both important.

What advantage does the low-profile contact variant in TFM-136-22-L-D-A-P-TR provide over standard height terminal strips?

The L (low-profile) designation in TFM-136-22-L-D-A-P-TR indicates a reduced mated stack height compared to standard or high-profile variants. For a 72-position, 0.050" pitch board-to-board connector, this lower profile is critical in portable devices, compact rack-mount systems, and drone avionics where board clearance may be as little as a few millimeters and standard-height connectors would not fit.

In what scenarios would TFM-136-22-L-D-A-P-TR be chosen over a higher-count Tiger Eye strip such as a 100-position variant?

A designer selects the 72-position TFM-136-22-L-D-A-P-TR when the interface requires fewer than 80 signals, since using a 100-position connector would waste 28 positions and consume unnecessary PCB area along the connector edge. At 0.050" pitch the 72-position strip occupies less board length, which is advantageous when routing space along the connector axis is limited to approximately 40 mm or less.
