Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring compatibility with current manufacturing and regulatory requirements.

TFM-130-12-L-D: Lowest insulation height (0.290") among the group. Select when space constraints require minimal vertical profile and board guide features are not required.

TFM-130-32-L-D-A: Increased insulation height (0.435") with integrated board guide feature. Select when additional mechanical alignment support is needed during assembly.

TFM-130-32-L-D-A-K: Highest insulation height (0.435") with board guide and pick-and-place features. Select for automated assembly processes requiring enhanced handling characteristics.

Selection between these parts depends on PCB layout constraints, assembly methodology, and mechanical alignment requirements. All parts share identical electrical performance and environmental ratings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TFM-130-12-L-D be used as a direct replacement for TFM-130-22-L-D?

A: Yes, provided PCB layout accommodates the reduced insulation height of 0.290" versus 0.360". All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: What is the primary difference between TFM-130-32-L-D-A and TFM-130-32-L-D-A-K?

A: Both share identical insulation height (0.435") and electrical ratings. TFM-130-32-L-D-A-K includes pick-and-place features for automated assembly, while TFM-130-32-L-D-A provides board guide alignment only.

Q: Are all substitute parts compatible with the same mating connectors?

A: Yes. All parts maintain 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch, 60-position, dual-row configuration with identical contact geometry and gold-plated mating surfaces.

Q: Do insulation height variations affect electrical performance?

A: No. Insulation height differences do not impact current rating, voltage rating, or operating temperature range. Selection is based on mechanical fit and assembly requirements.

Q: Are all parts suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. All parts operate across -55°C to 125°C and maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating throughout the temperature range.
