Frequently Asked Questions
How many contact positions does the TFM-137-12-L-D-A-P-TR carry and at what pitch spacing?
The TFM-137-12-L-D-A-P-TR provides 74 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration at a 0.050-inch (1.27 mm) pitch. This high contact count in a fine-pitch format lets designers route dozens of signal lines, differential pairs, and power rails through a single connector while maintaining a compact PCB footprint.
In which high-reliability scenarios does the Tiger Eye contact design of the TFM-137-12-L-D-A-P-TR outperform conventional fork contacts?
The Tiger Eye dual-leaf wiping contact scrubs the mating pin surface during engagement, removing surface oxides to achieve stable, low-resistance connections across all 74 positions. This makes the TFM-137-12-L-D-A-P-TR preferable in industrial, defense, and telecom applications where thermal cycling between -55°C and +125°C or mechanical vibration could degrade conventional contact interfaces over thousands of mating cycles.
How does tape-and-reel packaging reduce assembly cost for the TFM-137-12-L-D-A-P-TR in volume production?
Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging allows the 74-position connector to feed directly into automated SMT pick-and-place machines, supporting placements at industry-standard rates with consistent orientation and pitch. This eliminates manual component loading and reduces the per-unit assembly time compared to tray packaging, directly lowering total assembly cost when building hundreds or thousands of boards per production run.
