What are the key features of TFM-138-22-S-D-A-P-TR?

  • Tiger Eye high-reliability contact system sustains stable low contact resistance across thousands of mating cycles for mission-critical interconnects
  • 0.050-inch (1.27 mm) pitch dual-row layout with 76 total contacts enables high-density signal routing on compact PCBs
  • Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging compatible with automated SMT pick-and-place machines for efficient high-volume production assembly

What is TFM-138-22-S-D-A-P-TR used for?

The TFM-138-22-S-D-A-P-TR is deployed in high-density board-to-board and mezzanine interconnect applications found in aerospace electronics, defense systems, and industrial test equipment. Its 0.050-inch pitch and 76-contact dual-row configuration support dense signal and power routing between stacked PCBs with tight spacing constraints. The tape-and-reel format ensures compatibility with high-volume SMT assembly workflows requiring precise placement of fine-pitch connectors.

Frequently Asked Questions

What contact count and pitch does the TFM-138-22-S-D-A-P-TR provide?

The TFM-138-22-S-D-A-P-TR is a dual-row terminal strip with 38 positions per row at a 0.050-inch (1.27 mm) pitch, giving a total of 76 contacts. This configuration supports high-density signal and power interconnect on boards where minimizing connector footprint to under 50 mm in length is required.

Why is the Tiger Eye contact technology in TFM-138-22-S-D-A-P-TR preferred for aerospace and defense applications?

Tiger Eye contacts maintain stable electrical performance with contact resistance typically below 20 milliohms even after thousands of mating and unmating cycles. This durability is critical in aerospace and defense systems where field replacement and frequent connector cycling must not degrade signal integrity across 76 contacts in a 1.27 mm pitch format.

When would a designer choose the TFM-138-22-S-D-A-P-TR over a 0.100-inch pitch dual-row connector of similar contact count?

The 0.050-inch (1.27 mm) pitch of the TFM-138-22-S-D-A-P-TR occupies roughly half the board length of an equivalent 0.100-inch pitch connector for the same 76-contact count, freeing board space in compact mezzanine and stacked PCB designs. It is the preferred choice when PCB area is constrained to less than 50 mm for the connector zone and high cycle life above 500 matings is required.
