• 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
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold (30.0µin / 0.76µm)
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Insulation Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Current Rating: 2.9A per Contact
• Voltage Rating: 275VAC
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

The primary variable parameter distinguishing substitute parts is Insulation Height, which affects mechanical fit and board clearance. All substitute parts maintain electrical and thermal performance equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Selection between TFM-130-32-SM-D-A and equivalent parts TFM-130-12-S-D-A, TFM-130-32-S-D-A, and TFM-130-22-S-D-A is determined by board clearance requirements and mechanical fit specifications.

TFM-130-32-SM-D-A and TFM-130-32-S-D-A are mechanically identical with 0.435" (11.05mm) insulation height. TFM-130-22-S-D-A provides intermediate clearance at 0.360" (9.14mm). TFM-130-12-S-D-A offers minimum profile at 0.290" (7.37mm) for space-constrained applications.

All parts share identical electrical ratings, contact materials, and environmental specifications. Selection is based on available board height and design constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TFM-130-12-S-D-A replace TFM-130-32-SM-D-A in my design?

A: TFM-130-12-S-D-A is electrically and functionally equivalent but has reduced insulation height (0.290" vs 0.435"). Substitution is valid only if board clearance permits the lower profile.

Q: What is the difference between TFM-130-32-SM-D-A and TFM-130-32-S-D-A?

A: Both parts have identical insulation height (0.435") and electrical specifications. The difference is in the part number designation. Both are surface mount connectors with equivalent performance.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. TFM-130-32-SM-D-A, TFM-130-12-S-D-A, TFM-130-32-S-D-A, and TFM-130-22-S-D-A are all ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited).

Q: Do substitute parts have the same current and voltage ratings?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain 2.9A per contact current rating and 275VAC voltage rating across the operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Q: Which substitute part should I select for minimum board height?

A: TFM-130-12-S-D-A provides the lowest profile at 0.290" (7.37mm) insulation height for space-constrained applications.

Q: Are the contact materials identical across all substitute parts?

A: Yes. All parts use phosphor bronze contacts with gold mating finish (30.0µin / 0.76µm) and tin post finish.
