Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the TFM-142-12-SM-D-A-P-TR suitable for high-reliability defense and aerospace applications?

The TFM-142-12-SM-D-A-P-TR belongs to the SAMTEC Tiger Eye series, which is engineered to withstand operating temperatures from -55°C to +125°C and high-cycle mating durability. The 84-pin dual-row layout at 1.27 mm pitch maintains signal integrity under vibration and thermal cycling, while SAMTEC's high-reliability termination standards ensure each of the 84 contacts maintains low contact resistance over the connector's service life in harsh environments.

How does the SMT termination on the TFM-142-12-SM-D-A-P-TR affect PCB assembly process planning?

The SM (surface-mount) termination on the TFM-142-12-SM-D-A-P-TR means the connector pads are soldered during standard reflow oven processing, allowing it to be co-assembled with other SMT components in a single pass. The 84-pin fine-pitch footprint at 0.050 inches requires a well-controlled solder paste stencil of approximately 0.10 mm to 0.15 mm thickness to prevent bridging across adjacent pads during reflow.

What is the pin count of the TFM-142-12-SM-D-A-P-TR and which bus architectures can it support?

The TFM-142-12-SM-D-A-P-TR provides 84 pins in a dual-row configuration at 1.27 mm pitch. This count supports wide parallel buses including 64-bit data plus control lines, multiple LVDS differential pairs for high-speed signaling above 1 Gbps per lane, and mixed-signal assignments combining analog references with digital I/O, making it appropriate for FPGA daughter card, processor module, and high-channel-count sensor interface designs.
