Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TFM-130-12-S-D-A-K are identified based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: 60
• Number of Rows: 2
• Pitch - Mating: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall
• Current Rating: 2.9A per Contact
• Voltage Rating: 275VAC
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Series: Tiger Eye™ TFM

The substitute part TFM-130-12-S-D-A-P meets all these criteria and is therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the main part number.
