What are the key features of TFML-136-02-L-D-P-TR?

  • 72-position dual-row locking terminal strip at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch provides high-density interconnection with mechanical mating security
  • Tiger Eye high-reliability contact system ensures consistent mating force and electrical integrity across extended use cycles in harsh environments
  • Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging supports automated SMT assembly, improving placement accuracy and throughput in high-volume production

What is TFML-136-02-L-D-P-TR used for?

TFML-136-02-L-D-P-TR is designed for military electronics, aerospace avionics, and rugged industrial PCBs where a 72-position, 0.050" pitch locking terminal strip must resist vibration and shock without unmating. The Tiger Eye locking contact technology makes this connector ideal for mission-critical applications in harsh environments such as defense systems, downhole instrumentation, and high-reliability test equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Tiger Eye locking mechanism in TFML-136-02-L-D-P-TR prevent accidental unmating?

SAMTEC's Tiger Eye contact system provides a positive locking engagement when the TFML-136-02-L-D-P-TR mates with its corresponding header. This mechanical lock resists vibration and shock forces that would disengage standard friction-fit connectors, making it reliable in aerospace, military, and industrial environments where connector integrity across all 72 positions at 0.050" pitch is critical.

What PCB design scenarios require a 72-position, 0.050" pitch locking connector like TFML-136-02-L-D-P-TR?

Applications demanding high pin counts in a compact board area — such as signal processing modules, FPGA mezzanine cards, and avionics I/O boards — benefit from the 72-position dual-row layout at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. The locking feature adds retention security required in mobile platforms, aircraft, or ground vehicles where vibration could compromise standard connectors.

Does the tape-and-reel format of TFML-136-02-L-D-P-TR affect compatibility with standard SMT assembly lines?

Yes, the TR (tape-and-reel) packaging of TFML-136-02-L-D-P-TR is fully compatible with standard automated SMT pick-and-place equipment, allowing precise placement of this 72-position, 0.050" pitch connector on PCBs during reflow soldering. This eliminates manual insertion steps, improving yield and reducing labor cost in high-volume defense, medical, and industrial production runs.
