Frequently Asked Questions
What locking mechanism does the TFML-128-02-S-D-P-TR use to prevent accidental disconnection?
The TFML-128-02-S-D-P-TR uses SAMTEC's Tiger Eye positive locking mechanism, which secures all 56 contact positions against accidental unmating during vibration or shock, making it suitable for avionics, ruggedized industrial systems, and field-deployed instrumentation.
How many positions and what pitch does this Tiger Eye locking terminal strip provide?
The TFML-128-02-S-D-P-TR provides 56 positions in a dual-row layout at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch, delivering high-density signal connectivity in a compact SMT footprint appropriate for FPGA modules, data acquisition cards, and high-reliability embedded boards.
Can the TFML-128-02-S-D-P-TR be soldered using standard lead-free SMT reflow processes?
Yes. Its surface mount termination style supports automated pick-and-place placement and lead-free reflow soldering profiles up to 260°C. The tape-and-reel (TR) packaging further facilitates high-volume production assembly without manual component handling for this 56-pin connector.
How does the 0.050 inch pitch of this connector affect PCB routing density compared to 0.100 inch pitch alternatives?
At 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch, the TFML-128-02-S-D-P-TR places 56 contacts in roughly half the board length of a comparable 0.100 inch pitch header, enabling tighter via routing and reducing the PCB area required for a 56-pin dual-row SMT interconnect by approximately 50%.
