Frequently Asked Questions
How many pins does the TFM-138-22-F-D-A-P-TR provide and what is its contact pitch?
The TFM-138-22-F-D-A-P-TR provides 76 pins arranged in a dual-row layout with 38 pins per row on a 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch. This extremely high pin density suits signal-intensive PCB interconnect applications in test equipment, defense electronics, and dense embedded computing modules requiring compact high-count connections.
Which production environments benefit most from the TR and P options on the TFM-138-22-F-D-A-P-TR?
The tape-and-reel (TR) packaging and pick-and-place (P) pads make the TFM-138-22-F-D-A-P-TR well suited for high-volume automated SMT assembly lines. Manufacturers of defense electronics, high-reliability industrial controllers, and telecommunications equipment benefit from precise 76-pin connector placement accuracy and significantly reduced manual handling errors during production.
How does the Tiger Eye contact design in the TFM-138-22-F-D-A-P-TR compare to standard stamped-contact alternatives?
Tiger Eye contacts are precision-machined, providing higher contact normal force than typical stamped alternatives and maintaining stable, low contact resistance across thousands of mating cycles. In environments subject to shock and vibration, this reliability advantage makes TFM-138-22-F-D-A-P-TR preferable to standard stamped connectors for demanding 76-pin 1.27 mm pitch applications.
