What are the key features of TFM-136-32-FM-D-A-P-TR?

  • 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch dual-row configuration with 72 total contacts enables high-density board interconnection in compact embedded designs
  • Tiger Eye bifurcated contact design ensures reliable low-resistance mating with consistent normal force across thousands of insertion cycles
  • Tape-and-reel (-TR) packaging and SMT-compatible footprint support high-speed automated pick-and-place assembly in volume production

What is TFM-136-32-FM-D-A-P-TR used for?

The TFM-136-32-FM-D-A-P-TR is used in high-density board-to-board and mezzanine-card interconnection applications within telecommunications infrastructure, industrial automation, and defense electronics. Its 72-contact dual-row layout at 0.050" pitch provides a compact signal interface for FPGA mezzanine cards, processor module headers, and backplane daughter card assemblies. The tape-and-reel format and Tiger Eye reliability rating make it suitable for automated production of ruggedized systems operating in demanding environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many total contacts does the TFM-136-32-FM-D-A-P-TR provide and at what pitch?

The TFM-136-32-FM-D-A-P-TR provides 72 total contacts arranged in a dual-row configuration with 36 positions per row, at a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. This density makes it appropriate for high-signal-count interfaces such as FPGA mezzanine card headers and processor interconnects where board space is constrained.

What makes the Tiger Eye contact design in TFM-136-32-FM-D-A-P-TR suitable for defense-grade electronics?

The Tiger Eye contact uses a dual-beam design that maintains stable contact resistance typically below 20 mΩ over extended mating cycles, meeting high-reliability requirements for defense and aerospace programs. Combined with the 0.050" pitch and robust housing, the connector sustains performance under mechanical shock and vibration levels defined in MIL-STD-810 qualification environments.

When should a design engineer choose the -FM suffix variant of TFM-136-32 over other termination styles?

The -FM suffix denotes a surface-mount foot contact termination optimized for reflow soldering on standard PCB pads, enabling placement accuracy within ±0.1 mm during SMT assembly at 0.050" pitch. Engineers should specify this variant for designs where wave soldering is impractical or where coplanarity across 72 contacts must be maintained to achieve reliable solder joints in high-pin-count layouts.
