Frequently Asked Questions
How many total contact positions does the TFM-144-12-L-D-A-P-TR provide and at what pitch?
The TFM-144-12-L-D-A-P-TR is a dual-row connector with 44 positions per row, yielding 88 total contacts arranged at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. This high-density configuration supports routing dozens of signals across a compact PCB footprint suitable for mezzanine and stacking applications.
What makes SAMTEC's Tiger Eye contact system in the TFM-144-12-L-D-A-P-TR suitable for high-cycle applications?
The Tiger Eye contact design provides a 4-point wiping action on each pin, distributing contact force across multiple points to reduce wear. This enables the TFM-144-12-L-D-A-P-TR to withstand high mating cycle counts while maintaining low contact resistance, typically below 20 mΩ, making it well-suited for test racks and modules that are frequently inserted and removed.
When should a designer choose TFM-144-12-L-D-A-P-TR over a standard 2.54 mm pitch dual-row header for a dense backplane?
When board space is constrained and the design requires 88 signals in the footprint that a standard 2.54 mm pitch header would need for only 36, the TFM-144-12-L-D-A-P-TR at 1.27 mm pitch is the better choice. It reduces connector area by roughly 50% while supporting current ratings up to approximately 1 A per pin for low-power signal lines in compact backplane assemblies.
