Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TFM-130-12-S-D-A-P qualifies as a substitute based on the following critical parameters that remain constant across both parts:

• Manufacturer: Samtec Inc.
• Series: Tiger Eye™ TFM
• Number of Positions: 60
• Number of Rows: 2
• Pitch - Mating: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Contact Shape: Square
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold (30.0µin / 0.76µm)
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Insulation Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Current Rating: 2.9A per Contact
• Voltage Rating: 275VAC
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The primary difference between these parts is the insulation height specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TFM-130-32-S-D-A-P and TFM-130-12-S-D-A-P are active products from Samtec Inc. with full ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical specifications. Selection between these parts depends solely on the insulation height requirement of the application. The TFM-130-32-S-D-A-P provides an insulation height of 0.435" (11.05mm), while the TFM-130-12-S-D-A-P provides 0.290" (7.37mm). Both parts maintain equivalent performance across all electrical parameters, current ratings, voltage ratings, and operating temperature ranges. Component availability is confirmed for both parts, with inventory levels supporting production requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TFM-130-12-S-D-A-P be used as a direct replacement for TFM-130-32-S-D-A-P?

A: Substitution is possible only if the application design accommodates the reduced insulation height of 0.290" (7.37mm) versus 0.435" (11.05mm). All other electrical and mechanical specifications are identical. PCB layout and mating connector clearances must be verified.

Q: Are there differences in electrical performance between these two parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical current ratings (2.9A per Contact), voltage ratings (275VAC), operating temperature ranges (-55°C ~ 125°C), contact materials, and contact finishes.

Q: What determines the choice between these two connector models?

A: The primary determining factor is the required insulation height for the specific application. The TFM-130-32-S-D-A-P is specified for applications requiring 0.435" (11.05mm) insulation height, while the TFM-130-12-S-D-A-P is specified for applications requiring 0.290" (7.37mm) insulation height.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the TFM-130-32-S-D-A-P and TFM-130-12-S-D-A-P are ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited).

Q: What is the pitch specification for these connectors?

A: Both parts feature a mating pitch of 0.050" (1.27mm) with row spacing of 0.050" (1.27mm), maintaining 60 positions across 2 rows.
