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

  • 72-position dual-row low-profile micro (LM) socket at .050" (1.27 mm) pitch provides high signal density with reduced mated height for space-constrained PCB stacking
  • Tiger Eye precision machined contacts ensure consistent mating force and contact resistance below 20 milliohms across all 72 positions through extended mating life
  • Tape-and-reel (TR) delivery with SMD termination enables automated pick-and-place assembly, reducing per-unit placement time in high-volume production runs

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

The TFM-136-32-LM-D-A-P-TR is suited for height-sensitive board-to-board and mezzanine connector applications in compact computing modules, portable instrumentation, and embedded SOM (System-on-Module) carrier board designs requiring 72 signal positions at .050" pitch. The low-profile micro socket configuration minimizes stacked board height, enabling tighter PCB enclosures without sacrificing signal count. Its tape-and-reel packaging and SMD footprint support automated assembly processes in high-volume manufacturing of networking, industrial, and communications hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions

What distinguishes the low-profile micro (LM) contact style of TFM-136-32-LM-D-A-P-TR from standard micro socket variants?

The low-profile micro (LM) designation on TFM-136-32-LM-D-A-P-TR indicates a reduced mated stack height compared to standard TFM micro socket variants, typically by 1 mm or more. This makes the connector preferable for board-to-board stacking in compact enclosures where vertical clearance is under 5 mm, such as in portable instruments, SOM carrier boards, and tight embedded computing assemblies requiring 72 signal positions.

How does the 72-position dual-row layout of TFM-136-32-LM-D-A-P-TR benefit FPGA and SOM module interconnects?

With 72 positions split across 2 rows of 36 contacts at .050" (1.27 mm) pitch, TFM-136-32-LM-D-A-P-TR can carry 72 simultaneous signal or power connections in a PCB footprint roughly 45 mm long. This density is well matched to FPGA expansion and SOM carrier board interfaces that require dozens of GPIO, power, and control signals without dedicating large board areas to connector landing pads.

Can TFM-136-32-LM-D-A-P-TR be procured in volume and what packaging format supports production efficiency?

Yes, TFM-136-32-LM-D-A-P-TR is available in tape-and-reel (TR) format, which feeds standard SMD pick-and-place machines at production line speeds. Tape-and-reel packaging holds hundreds of connectors per reel, reducing changeover frequency for high-volume runs and ensuring each 72-position connector is delivered at consistent orientation, minimizing pin-1 misplacement errors on automated PCB assembly lines.
