Frequently Asked Questions
What locking mechanism does TFML-119-02-L-D-P-TR use to prevent accidental disconnection in vibrating environments?
TFML-119-02-L-D-P-TR uses SAMTEC's Tiger Eye locking system, a positive-retention mechanical latch that holds the mated connector pair together against vibration and shock loads, making it suitable for 38-position 0.050" pitch interfaces in defense, industrial, and vehicle-mounted electronics.
How does TFML-119-02-L-D-P-TR's 0.050" pitch compare to standard 0.100" headers in terms of PCB footprint savings?
At 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, TFML-119-02-L-D-P-TR occupies approximately 25% of the board area required by an equivalent 38-position, 0.100" pitch connector, enabling significantly denser PCB layouts for miniaturized computing modules, FPGA boards, and compact instruments.
What operating temperature range is TFML-119-02-L-D-P-TR rated for in harsh-environment applications?
SAMTEC TFML Tiger Eye series connectors are rated from -55°C to +125°C operating temperature, making TFML-119-02-L-D-P-TR well suited for avionics, military electronics, outdoor industrial controllers, and other applications demanding reliable performance across extreme thermal cycles.
How does procuring TFML-119-02-L-D-P-TR in tape-and-reel packaging reduce SMT production line setup costs?
The -TR tape-and-reel packaging of TFML-119-02-L-D-P-TR allows the 38-position 0.050" pitch connector to be fed directly into automated pick-and-place machines, eliminating manual loading steps, reducing placement time per board, and lowering defect rates compared to loose-piece or tray-packaged alternatives.
