What are the key features of TFM-147-12-STL-D-A-P-TR?

  • High-reliability Tiger Eye contact design ensures consistent 0.050" pitch mating force and electrical continuity across 94 positions
  • Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables automated SMT pick-and-place assembly for high-volume production
  • Dual-row configuration with gold-plated contacts delivers low contact resistance and long service life in demanding environments

What is TFM-147-12-STL-D-A-P-TR used for?

The TFM-147-12-STL-D-A-P-TR is designed for high-density signal interconnection in telecommunications, aerospace, and high-performance computing applications where reliability over thousands of mating cycles is critical. Its 0.050" pitch dual-row layout with 94 positions makes it an excellent choice for backplane interfaces, mezzanine card connectors, and board-to-board signal routing in rack-mounted systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Tiger Eye contact design in TFM-147-12-STL-D-A-P-TR improve reliability over standard terminal strips?

The Tiger Eye contact geometry provides a redundant dual-beam wiping action at 0.050" pitch, which reduces the risk of intermittent connections caused by contamination or wear. This design maintains stable contact resistance below specified limits across more than 500 mating cycles, making the TFM-147-12-STL-D-A-P-TR suitable for aerospace and telecom applications requiring high cycle life.

What assembly process does the TFM-147-12-STL-D-A-P-TR support, and what reel quantity is available?

The TFM-147-12-STL-D-A-P-TR is packaged in tape-and-reel format, enabling automated SMT pick-and-place assembly on standard reflow soldering lines. This TR packaging is suited for high-volume production environments where manual placement of 94-pin dual-row connectors at 0.050" pitch would be impractical. Reel quantities follow SAMTEC standard packaging specifications.

In which high-density board-to-board scenarios does the TFM-147-12-STL-D-A-P-TR outperform wider-pitch alternatives?

At 0.050" pitch with 94 positions across 2 rows, the TFM-147-12-STL-D-A-P-TR routes significantly more signals per unit board length than 0.100" pitch connectors of similar length. This advantage is critical in mezzanine, backplane, and daughter-card designs in telecommunications and computing hardware where routing 94 differential or single-ended signals must fit within a constrained PCB area.
