Frequently Asked Questions

What contact pitch and operating temperature range does the TFM-145-12-STL-D-A-P-TR support?

The TFM-145-12-STL-D-A-P-TR uses a 0.050-inch (1.27 mm) dual-row pitch and operates over a -55°C to +125°C temperature range. This wide thermal tolerance makes it suitable for industrial, aerospace, and test-and-measurement applications requiring consistent connector performance in extreme environments.

Why would a production engineer select the tape-and-reel TFM-145-12-STL-D-A-P-TR for automated SMT assembly?

The -TR suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging, enabling high-speed pick-and-place automated SMT assembly at scale. With a dual-row layout rated from -55°C to +125°C, this connector integrates seamlessly into standard SMT lines, improving placement accuracy and throughput compared to manually placed loose connectors.

How does the Tiger Eye contact design of the TFM-145-12-STL-D-A-P-TR benefit high-cycle test fixture applications?

Tiger Eye contacts maintain low, consistent insertion force even after hundreds of mating cycles, significantly outperforming standard contacts in longevity for test fixture and prototype boards. Rated from -55°C to +125°C, the TFM-145-12-STL-D-A-P-TR is well-suited for functional test sockets and evaluation hardware with frequent connector engagements.
