What are the key features of TFM-145-12-SM-D-A-P-TR?

  • 90-pin dual-row SMT Tiger Eye terminal strip at .050" (1.27 mm) pitch for maximum board-to-board signal density
  • Polarization option (A) ensures correct mating orientation in multi-connector assemblies, eliminating assembly errors
  • Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables high-speed automated pick-and-place for efficient high-volume SMT production

What is TFM-145-12-SM-D-A-P-TR used for?

The TFM-145-12-SM-D-A-P-TR serves high-density board-to-board interconnect needs in telecommunications infrastructure, industrial control boards, and high-performance computing modules where 90 signal contacts at .050" pitch conserve PCB space. The surface-mount design and tape-and-reel packaging streamline automated SMT assembly for volume production environments. Its polarization feature and Tiger Eye contact design ensure reliable, correctly oriented mating across repeated connect-disconnect cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many total contacts does the TFM-145-12-SM-D-A-P-TR provide, and what is its pitch?

The TFM-145-12-SM-D-A-P-TR provides 90 pins total in a dual-row layout with 45 contacts per row, all at .050" (1.27 mm) center-to-center pitch. This high-density configuration enables compact board-to-board SMT interconnects in telecom, computing, and industrial PCB designs with minimal footprint.

What reflow soldering profile is the TFM-145-12-SM-D-A-P-TR designed for in SMT production lines?

The TFM-145-12-SM-D-A-P-TR is designed for standard SMT reflow soldering and is compatible with automated pick-and-place when supplied on tape and reel. Its 90-pin dual-row surface-mount footprint at .050" pitch supports reflow profiles within a -55°C to +125°C operating temperature range for demanding production environments.

When is TFM-145-12-SM-D-A-P-TR preferred over a larger-pitch connector in a compact PCB design?

Designers choose the TFM-145-12-SM-D-A-P-TR when board space is limited and many signal paths must be consolidated into a single connector. Its .050" pitch provides roughly twice the contact density of a 2.54 mm pitch alternative, fitting all 90 pins into a compact SMT footprint while Tiger Eye contacts maintain reliable mating across repeated connect-disconnect cycles.
