What are the key features of TFM-149-32-SM-D-A-P-TR?

  • 98-position dual-row layout at 0.050-inch (1.27mm) pitch delivers ultra-high signal density for compact board-to-board and mezzanine interfaces
  • Surface-mount (SM) termination supports reflow soldering and automated SMT assembly, eliminating through-hole drilling requirements
  • Tiger Eye dual-beam contact design maintains consistent contact resistance below 20 milliohms across hundreds of mating cycles

What is TFM-149-32-SM-D-A-P-TR used for?

The TFM-149-32-SM-D-A-P-TR is designed for high-density mezzanine, daughter-card, and board-to-board interconnect in FPGA development platforms, telecommunications equipment, and high-speed data acquisition modules. Its 98-position dual-row configuration at 0.050-inch pitch routes up to 98 signals across a footprint of approximately 62mm length, enabling dense system integration where 0.100-inch connectors would consume excessive board area. Tape-and-reel packaging supports high-volume automated SMT production with minimal handling overhead.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many contacts does TFM-149-32-SM-D-A-P-TR provide per row at 0.050-inch pitch?

The TFM-149-32-SM-D-A-P-TR provides 49 contacts per row in its dual-row configuration, for 98 total positions at a 0.050-inch (1.27mm) pitch. This yields a connector body length of approximately 61.5mm, offering nearly twice the signal density of an equivalent 0.100-inch pitch dual-row connector of the same length.

For a high-speed FPGA daughter card, what signal integrity advantages does the Tiger Eye contact design offer over standard stamped-and-formed contacts?

Samtec's Tiger Eye contact maintains a dual-beam wiping action that keeps contact resistance below 20 milliohms across 200 or more mating cycles, compared to single-beam stamped contacts that can degrade to 50 milliohms or more after repeated insertions. For high-speed FPGA daughter card interfaces carrying signals at 1Gbps or faster, this consistent low-resistance path reduces signal reflection and crosstalk, improving bit-error rates at the system level.

When is tape-and-reel (TR) packaging for TFM-149-32-SM-D-A-P-TR more cost-effective than tray packaging in production?

Tape-and-reel packaging becomes cost-effective when production volumes exceed approximately 200 to 500 units per run and automated pick-and-place equipment is used. The TR format feeds 98-position connectors at consistent intervals on a standard carrier tape, reducing component placement time by several seconds per board compared to manual tray loading, and enabling throughput of hundreds of assemblies per shift on a standard SMT reflow line.
