What are the key features of TFM-137-12-FM-D-A-P-TR?

  • 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch dual-row 37-position layout delivering 74 contacts in a compact polarized housing
  • Female shrouded (FM) receptacle design preventing incorrect mating and protecting contacts during repeated insertions
  • Tiger Eye contact technology providing low contact resistance and reliable electrical performance across hundreds of mating cycles

What is TFM-137-12-FM-D-A-P-TR used for?

The TFM-137-12-FM-D-A-P-TR provides a reliable 74-contact female receptacle solution for high-density board-to-board mezzanine interconnects in embedded computing and industrial electronics. It is suited for FPGA evaluation boards, processor daughter cards, and instrumentation modules where a compact 0.050" pitch connector reduces PCB area compared to standard 0.100" alternatives. The tape-and-reel packaging supports high-throughput automated assembly in manufacturing environments.
