What are the key features of TFM-137-01-FM-D-A-P-TR?

  • 74-position dual-row through-hole layout at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch optimized for high-density signal interconnects in compact PCB designs
  • Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables high-volume automated insertion, reducing per-unit assembly time on production lines
  • Tiger Eye dual-beam contacts maintain reliable low-resistance connections through thousands of mating cycles in demanding thermal and mechanical environments

What is TFM-137-01-FM-D-A-P-TR used for?

The TFM-137-01-FM-D-A-P-TR is suited for high-density board-to-board and module interconnects in defense electronics, industrial automation, and aerospace systems where 74-position through-hole reliability is paramount. Its tape-and-reel packaging makes it efficient for large-scale automated PCB assembly in telecommunications and computing applications. The part also serves in test and measurement equipment where repeatable mating across all 74 dual-row positions must be maintained over extended operational lifetimes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What packaging format does the TFM-137-01-FM-D-A-P-TR use and how does it benefit high-volume manufacturing?

The TFM-137-01-FM-D-A-P-TR ships in tape-and-reel (TR) format, enabling automated insertion equipment to place the 74-position connector continuously without manual handling, which reduces labor costs and improves placement accuracy on high-volume PCB production lines.

In which application categories is a 74-position 0.050-inch pitch connector like the TFM-137-01-FM-D-A-P-TR most commonly needed?

Defense avionics, aerospace data recorders, and high-density industrial controllers commonly require 74-position dual-row connectors at 0.050-inch pitch when many signal lines must cross a board boundary in a footprint smaller than what a 0.100-inch pitch alternative would allow, often in environments from -55°C to +125°C.

How does the Tiger Eye contact mechanism in the TFM-137-01-FM-D-A-P-TR compare to single-beam contacts for long-term reliability?

Tiger Eye dual-beam contacts make two independent electrical contact points per pin across all 74 positions, ensuring signal continuity even if one beam experiences minor contamination or wear after hundreds of mating cycles, providing significantly higher reliability than single-beam contacts in critical applications.
