What are the key features of TFM-139-01-LM-D-A-P-TR?

  • 78-position dual-row layout at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch with low-profile horizontal mating (LM suffix) minimizes connector stack height for thin-form-factor PCB designs
  • Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables high-speed automated pick-and-place SMT assembly at production rates exceeding 10,000 placements per hour without manual handling
  • Tiger Eye gold flash over nickel contacts provide reliable low-resistance mating engagement across the rated operating temperature range

What is TFM-139-01-LM-D-A-P-TR used for?

The TFM-139-01-LM-D-A-P-TR suits high-density board-to-cable and mezzanine card interconnect in portable medical devices, compact industrial computers, and wearable electronics where 78 signals at 0.050 inch pitch must exit the PCB with minimal vertical clearance. Its low-profile horizontal mating orientation routes mating connectors along the PCB surface, keeping cable bundles below the height of adjacent SMT components. The tape-and-reel format supports continuous automated SMT production runs in high-volume consumer and industrial electronics manufacturing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the low-profile horizontal mating orientation of TFM-139-01-LM-D-A-P-TR reduce connector stack height compared to vertical mating variants?

The LM (low-profile mating) designation routes the mating connector horizontally along the PCB surface rather than perpendicular to it, reducing the combined stack height of the connector and mated cable assembly to approximately 3 to 5 mm above the PCB versus 8 to 12 mm for a vertical mating 0.050 inch pitch connector. This makes TFM-139-01-LM-D-A-P-TR the preferred choice for portable medical devices and industrial handhelds with chassis depths under 10 mm carrying 78 signal lines.

Can TFM-139-01-LM-D-A-P-TR be used in a continuous automated production run, and what throughput does tape-and-reel packaging enable?

Yes, the -TR tape-and-reel packaging is specifically designed for automated SMT pick-and-place machines that can place the 78-position 0.050 inch pitch connector at rates of 10,000 or more per hour without operator intervention. Continuous reels eliminate the frequent tray reloading required for bulk-packaged connectors, significantly reducing changeover downtime on high-volume production lines for consumer electronics and industrial PCB assemblies.

When should a PCB designer select TFM-139-01-LM-D-A-P-TR over TFM-130-01-SM-D-A-P-TR for a wearable device interconnect?

Choose TFM-139-01-LM-D-A-P-TR over TFM-130-01-SM-D-A-P-TR when the wearable design requires 78 positions instead of 60 and when the mating cable must exit horizontally with a stack height under 5 mm above the PCB. The additional 18 positions at 0.050 inch pitch add only 0.9 mm of extra connector body length, while the low-profile horizontal mating prevents the connector-cable assembly from protruding through a thin wearable housing that may be only 8 mm deep.
