What are the key features of TFM-138-32-LM-D-A-P-TR?
- 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch dual-row Tiger Eye terminal strip with 38 positions per row, delivering 76 total contacts in a low-profile SMT footprint
- LM (low-profile male) termination style offers a reduced stack height for space-constrained board-to-board mezzanine assemblies in demanding environments
- Tiger Eye contact design with tape-and-reel packaging enables high-cycle mating reliability and automated SMT assembly for high-volume production
What is TFM-138-32-LM-D-A-P-TR used for?
The TFM-138-32-LM-D-A-P-TR is designed for low-profile mezzanine and board-to-board signal interconnection in defense electronics, FPGA daughtercard assemblies, and compact embedded computing platforms. Its 76-contact dual-row layout at 1.27 mm pitch provides high signal density while the low-profile male (LM) termination minimizes overall stack height in slim-profile system designs. This connector is also appropriate for ruggedized test instrumentation and satellite electronics where reduced height and Tiger Eye contact reliability are essential.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the position count and pitch of the TFM-138-32-LM-D-A-P-TR and how does its low-profile style benefit system design?
The TFM-138-32-LM-D-A-P-TR provides 76 total contacts in a dual-row arrangement of 38 positions per row at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch. The LM (low-profile male) termination style reduces stack height compared to standard male connectors, enabling slimmer mezzanine assemblies in height-constrained electronics enclosures.
Which high-reliability environments is the TFM-138-32-LM-D-A-P-TR qualified for?
The TFM-138-32-LM-D-A-P-TR with Tiger Eye contacts is suited for aerospace, defense, and rugged industrial environments where connectors must endure vibration, shock, and thermal cycling. The precision contact geometry maintains reliable electrical continuity across all 76 pins at 1.27 mm pitch throughout extended operational life and repeated mating cycles.
How does tape-and-reel packaging affect procurement and assembly of TFM-138-32-LM-D-A-P-TR on high-volume production lines?
The TR suffix designates tape-and-reel packaging, which allows the TFM-138-32-LM-D-A-P-TR to be loaded directly into automated SMT pick-and-place equipment. This eliminates manual component handling and reduces placement cycle time for 76-contact, 1.27 mm pitch dual-row connectors on high-volume PCB assembly lines, lowering per-board labor costs.
