What are the key features of TFM-137-32-L-D-A-P-TR?

  • 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch dual-row layout with 137 positions for high pin-count signal routing in compact designs
  • Tiger Eye contact system providing secure mating retention and reliable continuity over 500+ insertion cycles
  • Low-profile through-hole termination enabling sturdy mechanical anchoring for vibration-resistant industrial applications
  • Tape-and-reel (-TR) packaging for seamless integration into automated high-volume PCB assembly lines

What is TFM-137-32-L-D-A-P-TR used for?

The TFM-137-32-L-D-A-P-TR is designed for high-density board-to-board interconnect applications in industrial automation, telecommunications infrastructure, and embedded computing platforms. Its 137-position dual-row, 0.050 inch pitch configuration allows routing of hundreds of signals across stacked PCBs in constrained enclosures. The through-hole termination provides mechanical strength essential for ruggedized systems exposed to shock and vibration in field-deployed industrial and military environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the TFM-137-32-L-D-A-P-TR handle mechanical stress in vibration-prone installations?

The TFM-137-32-L-D-A-P-TR uses a through-hole termination style that anchors directly into the PCB, providing superior pull-out strength compared to surface-mount alternatives. Combined with the Tiger Eye contact geometry, it maintains reliable electrical continuity across 137 positions when subjected to vibration levels common in industrial machinery and military ground vehicle electronics rated to MIL-STD-810 conditions.

What is the signal capacity of the TFM-137-32-L-D-A-P-TR and how does the 0.050 inch pitch benefit PCB layout?

This dual-row 137-position connector at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch carries up to 274 individual signals per mated pair. The 1.27 mm contact pitch reduces total connector length compared to 2.0 mm pitch alternatives, freeing significant PCB area for routing and other components in dense backplane and daughter-card designs used in test equipment and embedded controllers.

When should an engineer choose TFM-137-32-L-D-A-P-TR over a lower pin-count connector in a modular system design?

When a modular expansion interface requires more than 100 discrete signal lines — such as a parallel data bus combining 64-bit data, 16 address bits, power, ground, and control signals — the 137-position TFM-137-32 consolidates all connections into a single mated pair. This reduces BOM line items, simplifies cable management, and cuts connector insertion labor by eliminating multiple smaller connectors that would otherwise occupy additional PCB real estate.
