Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the TFM-142-12-STL-D-A-P-TR provide, and what is its pin pitch?
The TFM-142-12-STL-D-A-P-TR provides 84 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration with a 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch. This high pin density enables routing of a large number of signals across a narrow PCB footprint, reducing overall connector count in high-channel-density board-to-board interconnect designs.
Does the tape-and-reel format of TFM-142-12-STL-D-A-P-TR support automated SMT assembly?
Yes, the TR (tape-and-reel) suffix indicates the connector is packaged in standard EIA-481 tape-and-reel format, which is directly compatible with automated pick-and-place machines. The surface-mount termination style and reel packaging allow placement rates of hundreds of parts per hour, making it suitable for high-volume production runs of boards requiring 84-pin Tiger Eye connectors.
When would an engineer choose TFM-142-12-STL-D-A-P-TR over a 0.100 inch pitch alternative?
An engineer selects the 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch TFM-142-12-STL-D-A-P-TR over a 0.100 inch pitch connector when board area is constrained and 84 signals must be routed within a smaller connector footprint. The 1.27 mm pitch reduces the connector length by roughly 50% compared to a 2.54 mm pitch alternative carrying the same 84 positions, freeing critical PCB real estate in compact electronics enclosures.
