What are the key features of TFM-148-12-FM-D-A-P-TR?
- 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch dual-row 48-position female mount terminal strip providing 96 total contacts for high-density signal interconnect
- 12-mil post height variant optimized for low-profile board-stacking applications requiring reduced vertical clearance between mated PCBs
- Tiger Eye contact geometry ensures high normal force across all 96 pins, maintaining reliable electrical connection over repeated mating cycles
What is TFM-148-12-FM-D-A-P-TR used for?
The TFM-148-12-FM-D-A-P-TR is designed for high-density board-stacking applications where a 0.050 inch pitch female mount terminal strip with a 12-mil post height is required to minimize inter-board separation. It is used in embedded computing modules, rugged military electronics, and high-speed communication hardware needing 96 simultaneous signal connections in a compact dual-row layout. Tape-and-reel packaging enables automated pick-and-place assembly with reflow soldering in high-volume SMT production environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 12 in TFM-148-12-FM-D-A-P-TR specify about the connector's post height?
The 12 in the part number designates a 12-mil (approximately 0.30 mm) post height for the female mount contacts. This low-profile post height is selected for board-stacking configurations that require tight inter-board clearance while maintaining reliable 96-contact connections at the 0.050 inch pitch spacing.
How many total contacts does the TFM-148-12-FM-D-A-P-TR provide and how does this compare to a 37-position variant?
The TFM-148-12-FM-D-A-P-TR provides 48 positions per row in a dual-row layout for a total of 96 contacts at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch, compared to 74 contacts in a 37-position dual-row variant, giving designers 22 additional signal or power channels within the same pitch family.
For which board-stacking scenarios is TFM-148-12-FM-D-A-P-TR preferred over a standard-height female mount connector?
The 12-mil post height variant is preferred when the mated board stack height must be minimized to fit inside a chassis with less than 5 mm of vertical clearance between PCBs. It is commonly specified in military-grade rugged computing systems and compact communications hardware where 96-pin connectivity is needed at 0.050 inch pitch without increasing board-to-board separation.
What reflow soldering parameters apply to the tape-and-reel TFM-148-12-FM-D-A-P-TR during SMT assembly?
SAMTEC TFM-series connectors in tape-and-reel packaging are designed for lead-free reflow soldering processes with a peak temperature of up to 260 degrees C per JEDEC J-STD-020. Tape-and-reel format supports continuous pick-and-place at standard SMT line speeds, reducing manual handling error on fine-pitch 0.050 inch pads across high-volume 96-position dual-row placements.
