What are the key features of TFM-140-01-L-D-A-P-TR?

  • 80-position dual-row layout on 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch optimized for high-density automated assembly
  • Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging supports high-volume SMT pick-and-place production lines
  • Press-fit termination style eliminates solder joints, improving reliability in vibration-prone environments

What is TFM-140-01-L-D-A-P-TR used for?

The TFM-140-01-L-D-A-P-TR is designed for high-volume automated assembly in telecommunications line cards, server backplanes, and industrial computing boards requiring dense 80-signal interconnects. The tape-and-reel packaging integrates directly into SMT pick-and-place workflows, reducing manual handling and improving throughput. Its press-fit termination and polarization key ensure correct orientation and mechanically robust connections suitable for harsh-environment deployments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many contacts does the TFM-140-01-L-D-A-P-TR provide, and what pitch do they use?

The TFM-140-01-L-D-A-P-TR provides 80 contacts in a dual-row configuration, with 40 positions per row, spaced on a 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch. This high contact count on a fine pitch makes it well suited to backplane and line-card designs requiring dense signal routing in a compact footprint.

Why does tape-and-reel packaging make the TFM-140-01-L-D-A-P-TR a better fit for high-volume manufacturing than tray-packaged alternatives?

Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging allows automated pick-and-place machines to feed the TFM-140-01-L-D-A-P-TR continuously at production rates exceeding thousands of placements per hour, eliminating manual tray handling and reducing placement errors. This directly lowers cost-per-placement and supports lean manufacturing flow in high-volume PCB assembly lines producing server, telecom, or industrial controller boards.

When is the press-fit termination style of TFM-140-01-L-D-A-P-TR preferred over soldered surface-mount alternatives for connector attachment?

Press-fit termination is preferred when operating environments subject the PCB assembly to sustained vibration above 0.5G or thermal cycling between -40°C and 85°C, because the mechanical interference fit maintains contact integrity without the fatigue cracking risks associated with solder joints. It is also chosen in applications requiring rework or field replacement of the connector without reflowing solder, such as in rack-mount server infrastructure.
