Frequently Asked Questions
What contact arrangement does the TFM-138-12-H-D use to achieve high signal density?
The TFM-138-12-H-D uses a dual-row male terminal strip format with 0.050-inch pitch, delivering a high-density pin field. The dual-row design doubles the contact count per unit length compared to single-row alternatives, supporting more than 40 pins in a single compact connector body for board-to-board routing.
What board-to-board stacking height does the TFM-138-12-H-D provide in multi-board assemblies?
The TFM-138-12-H-D is designed for a 12 mm board-to-board stacking height, creating a fixed standoff between two PCBs that suits multi-board sandwich assemblies, measurement instruments, and industrial module systems requiring precise inter-board spacing and more than 50 pins of interconnect.
Over what temperature range does the TFM-138-12-H-D Tiger Eye contact maintain reliable signal integrity?
Tiger Eye contacts in the TFM-138-12-H-D provide reliable signal integrity after hundreds of mating cycles at operating temperatures from -55 °C to 125 °C, making the connector suitable for industrial automation, defense electronics, and test and measurement instruments exposed to wide thermal excursions.
