What are the key features of TFM-148-11-SM-D?

  • 96-position dual-row layout at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch for ultra-high-density interconnect
  • Tiger Eye contact system delivering reliable, low-insertion-force mating across many cycles
  • Surface-mount termination style enabling automated SMT reflow assembly
  • High-reliability design suited for repeated mating cycles in test and measurement systems
  • Compact form factor supporting dense board-to-board and board-to-cable interface routing

What is TFM-148-11-SM-D used for?

The TFM-148-11-SM-D is designed for high-density board-to-board interconnect in data communications, test and measurement, and industrial control applications. Its 96-position dual-row, 0.050 inch pitch configuration makes it particularly effective for memory interfaces, FPGA daughter-card connections, and backplane assemblies where minimizing connector footprint while maximizing signal density is essential.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many positions does TFM-148-11-SM-D provide, and how does its dual-row layout benefit signal-dense FPGA daughter-card designs?

TFM-148-11-SM-D is a 96-position connector arranged in a dual-row configuration at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch. For FPGA daughter cards that require dozens of parallel I/O connections, this dual-row layout delivers 96 contacts within a compact footprint, reducing board area consumption compared to a single-row solution of the same pitch.

Is TFM-148-11-SM-D compatible with standard SMT reflow assembly processes used in high-volume PCB production?

Yes, TFM-148-11-SM-D uses a surface-mount termination style that is compatible with standard SMT reflow assembly processes. The connector can be placed by pick-and-place equipment and soldered in a standard lead-free reflow oven, making it suitable for automated high-volume production lines without requiring through-hole hand soldering.

When would a designer choose TFM-148-11-SM-D over a 0.1 inch pitch connector for a compact industrial control module?

Designers select TFM-148-11-SM-D when the PCB layout cannot accommodate the larger footprint of a 0.1 inch (2.54 mm) pitch connector and still route 96 signals. At 0.050 inch pitch, TFM-148-11-SM-D achieves the same 96-position count in roughly half the board length, which is critical in constrained industrial modules where PCB real estate is limited.

For a procurement team evaluating Tiger Eye connectors, what lead time risk should be considered for TFM-148-11-SM-D in a new product introduction?

High-position-count Samtec Tiger Eye connectors such as TFM-148-11-SM-D are typically built to order, with lead times that can range from 2 to 4 weeks. Procurement teams managing NPI schedules should order pre-production samples early and confirm production stocking options with Samtec, as 96-position specialty surface-mount connectors may not be held in distributor spot stock in large volumes.
