Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TFC-130-22-F-D and TFC-130-12-F-D-K maintain Active product status and full ROHS3 compliance with UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The electrical specifications—current rating, voltage rating, contact material, and finish—are identical across both parts. The primary design consideration is the insulation height differential of 0.070" (1.78mm), with TFC-130-12-F-D-K offering a lower profile suitable for space-constrained applications. The Pick and Place feature on TFC-130-12-F-D-K provides manufacturing process advantages for automated assembly environments. Selection between these parts depends on PCB layout constraints and assembly methodology rather than electrical or thermal performance differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are TFC-130-22-F-D and TFC-130-12-F-D-K electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications including 3.1A per contact current rating, 275VAC voltage rating, phosphor bronze contact material with gold plating, and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The insulation height differs by 0.070" (1.78mm), with TFC-130-12-F-D-K providing a lower profile. Additionally, TFC-130-12-F-D-K includes Pick and Place feature support for automated assembly.

Q: Can I substitute TFC-130-12-F-D-K for TFC-130-22-F-D in an existing design?

A: Substitution is feasible if PCB layout accommodates the reduced insulation height of 0.296" (7.52mm) versus 0.366" (9.30mm). Verify mating connector clearance and board-to-board spacing requirements before implementation.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both TFC-130-22-F-D and TFC-130-12-F-D-K are ROHS3 compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level.

Q: Which part should I select for automated assembly?

A: TFC-130-12-F-D-K includes Pick and Place feature support, making it the preferred choice for high-volume automated manufacturing environments.

Q: Do these parts require different PCB footprints?

A: Both parts maintain identical pitch (0.050"), row spacing (0.050"), and 60-position configuration. The footprint remains the same; only the component height differs.
