What are the key features of TFM-148-12-L-D-A-P-TR?

  • 48 dual-row positions on 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch delivering 96 total contacts in a compact footprint
  • Tiger Eye contact geometry provides superior wiping action and reliable mating retention across temperature extremes from -65°C to +125°C
  • Low-profile (L) surface-mount termination integrates into standard SMT reflow assembly at up to 260°C peak
  • Gold-plated contacts ensure contact resistance below 20 milliohms for high-frequency and precision signal applications
  • Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables automated pick-and-place for high-volume production runs

What is TFM-148-12-L-D-A-P-TR used for?

The TFM-148-12-L-D-A-P-TR serves high-density board-to-board and flex-to-board signal interconnect applications demanding reliable 0.050 inch pitch connections across 96 contacts. It is well suited for aerospace avionics, defense electronics, and advanced industrial automation systems where compact form factors must accommodate large numbers of signal channels. The Tiger Eye contact design ensures consistent electrical performance even under repeated mating cycles and harsh vibration or thermal environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many total contacts does the TFM-148-12-L-D-A-P-TR provide and at what pitch?

The TFM-148-12-L-D-A-P-TR provides 96 total contacts arranged in 48 dual-row positions on a 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch, making it one of the highest contact-density terminal strips in the SAMTEC TFM family for demanding high-channel-count interconnect designs.

What operating temperature range is the TFM-148-12-L-D-A-P-TR rated for in aerospace and defense applications?

The TFM-148-12-L-D-A-P-TR Tiger Eye terminal strip is rated for operation from -65°C to +125°C, covering the full military and aerospace temperature range required by standards such as MIL-STD-810 and suitable for avionics, satellite, and ground vehicle electronics in extreme thermal environments.

How does the low-profile (L) variant of TFM-148-12-L-D-A-P-TR differ from standard TFM terminal strips?

The low-profile (L) designation indicates a reduced above-board standing height compared to standard TFM variants, typically 2 mm or less, which is critical in densely stacked PCB assemblies or slim enclosures where every fraction of a millimeter of vertical clearance must be conserved across the 96-contact interface.

When should an engineer choose TFM-148-12-L-D-A-P-TR over a 0.100 inch pitch connector for a signal-dense control board?

At 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch, the TFM-148-12-L-D-A-P-TR provides twice the contact density per unit length compared to a 0.100 inch pitch connector, enabling 96 signal channels in the board space a 2.54 mm pitch connector would use for only 48, making it the right choice when PCB routing must accommodate dozens of high-speed or analog signals within a constrained area.
