What are the key features of TFM-138-32-S-D-A-P-TR?

  • 76-position dual-row layout on 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch delivers extreme contact density for FPGA and high-speed digital signal routing
  • Tiger Eye contact system provides superior wiping action, ensuring reliable low-resistance mating across 500+ insertion cycles
  • Surface-mount (S) footprint with tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables automated PCB assembly at high production volumes
  • High-reliability construction qualified for demanding industrial, defense, and telecom interconnect environments

What is TFM-138-32-S-D-A-P-TR used for?

The TFM-138-32-S-D-A-P-TR is designed for high-density board-to-board signal distribution in FPGA mezzanine cards, backplane daughterboards, and data acquisition modules that require 76 contacts in a minimal 0.050 inch pitch footprint. Its surface-mount configuration and tape-and-reel packaging support automated pick-and-place assembly in high-volume production runs. The Tiger Eye contact design ensures consistent signal integrity over thousands of mating cycles in industrial automation and defense electronics platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many contacts does the TFM-138-32-S-D-A-P-TR provide, and what pitch does it use?

The TFM-138-32-S-D-A-P-TR is a dual-row terminal strip with 76 total positions arranged at a 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch, providing 38 contacts per row for high-density signal routing on FPGA mezzanine boards and backplane interconnects.

What packaging format does the TFM-138-32-S-D-A-P-TR use and how does it benefit production assembly?

The TFM-138-32-S-D-A-P-TR ships in tape-and-reel (TR) format compatible with standard SMD pick-and-place machines, enabling automated assembly at throughputs exceeding 1000 placements per hour and reducing manual handling errors in high-volume PCB production.

How does the Tiger Eye contact system in the TFM-138-32-S-D-A-P-TR compare to standard machined-pin connectors?

SAMTEC Tiger Eye stamped contacts provide a wiping engagement action that clears surface oxides on each mating cycle, maintaining contact resistance below a few milliohms across more than 500 mating cycles, surpassing the typical durability of standard machined-pin connectors rated for fewer insertions.

Which system designs benefit most from the TFM-138-32-S-D-A-P-TR's 0.050 inch pitch dual-row layout?

FPGA development boards, industrial motion-control modules, and defense avionics signal distribution cards benefit most, since the 0.050 inch pitch fits 76 signal lines into a connector body shorter than 50 mm, freeing PCB real estate compared to standard 0.100 inch pitch alternatives.
