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

  • 72-position dual-row arrangement at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch maximizes signal count per unit connector length on high-density PCBs
  • Tiger Eye contacts deliver high normal force, maintaining connection integrity across 500+ mating cycles in vibration-prone environments
  • Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging and SMT termination enable fully automated pick-and-place and reflow soldering for high-volume PCB manufacturing

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

The TFM-136-22-SM-D-A-P-TR is suited for high-channel-count board-to-board or wire-to-board signal interconnects in FPGA evaluation platforms, embedded computing modules, and ruggedized defense electronics. Its 0.050-inch pitch dual-row design efficiently accommodates parallel data buses, differential signal pairs, and auxiliary power in a compact footprint. Tape-and-reel delivery supports seamless integration into automated SMT production lines with minimal setup overhead.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many positions does TFM-136-22-SM-D-A-P-TR provide and how is it configured across rows?

The TFM-136-22-SM-D-A-P-TR provides 72 total positions arranged in 2 rows of 36 contacts each at 0.050-inch (1.27 mm) pitch. This dual-row layout allows designers to route 36 differential signal pairs or mix single-ended signals and power rails within a single compact connector spanning approximately 45 mm in length.

For what types of PCB assembly processes is TFM-136-22-SM-D-A-P-TR optimized?

The TFM-136-22-SM-D-A-P-TR is optimized for surface-mount technology (SMT) assembly using standard pick-and-place equipment. The tape-and-reel (TR) packaging format supports automated feeder loading on SMT lines, and the SMT termination pads are compatible with reflow soldering profiles up to lead-free peak temperatures of 260°C, making it suitable for both prototype and mass-production environments.

When would an engineer choose TFM-136-22-SM-D-A-P-TR over a through-hole terminal strip of equivalent position count?

An engineer selects TFM-136-22-SM-D-A-P-TR over through-hole alternatives when minimizing board thickness is critical, since surface-mount connectors eliminate 1.6 mm to 3.2 mm drill-depth requirements on double-sided boards. SMT placement also enables connector use on boards where the opposite side is fully populated, and the 0.050-inch pitch of this part achieves higher contact density than most through-hole connectors available at 0.100-inch pitch.
