Frequently Asked Questions

What does the FM contact designation mean for TFM-138-32-FM-D-A-P-TR?

The FM designation in TFM-138-32-FM-D-A-P-TR indicates a female contact with male shroud configuration that guides mating connectors precisely during board-to-board insertion across 76 pins at 0.050" pitch. The shroud prevents misalignment that could damage the delicate 0.050" pitch contacts, making it especially valuable in vibration-prone defense and aerospace environments.

What is the total pin count and row arrangement of TFM-138-32-FM-D-A-P-TR?

TFM-138-32-FM-D-A-P-TR provides 76 pins total arranged as 38 positions per row in a dual-row configuration at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. This high-density layout enables efficient signal routing between stacked mezzanine boards, backplane modules, and piggyback PCB assemblies in high-performance computing, defense, and aerospace systems.

What operating temperature range does TFM-138-32-FM-D-A-P-TR's P-spec construction support?

TFM-138-32-FM-D-A-P-TR with P-spec contacts is rated for reliable operation from -55°C to +125°C, meeting the full range required by defense and aerospace environmental specifications. Enhanced plating quality and tighter contact tolerances maintain robust electrical integrity across 76 pins under mechanical shock, vibration, and thermal cycling in MIL-spec and rugged industrial applications.

What SMT reflow profile is recommended for soldering TFM-138-32-FM-D-A-P-TR onto a PCB?

TFM-138-32-FM-D-A-P-TR supports lead-free SMT reflow soldering at a peak temperature of 260°C per JEDEC J-STD-020 standards. Tape and reel packaging enables precise automated pick-and-place of all 76 pins before reflow, ensuring consistent solder joint quality across high-volume defense, industrial, and commercial PCB production runs.
