TFM-135-02-L-D-A-P Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TFM-135-02-L-D-A-P is a surface mount rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc. as part of the Tiger Eye™ TFM series. This 70-position, 2-row connector operates at 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch and is designed for board-to-board or cable applications with push-pull fastening. The part is currently active in production with full inventory availability. Substitute parts may be required due to supply chain constraints, regional availability, or specific procurement requirements while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TFM-135-02-L-D-A-P is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (70)
• Number of rows (2)
• Pitch - mating (0.050" / 1.27mm)
• Row spacing - mating (0.050" / 1.27mm)
• Mounting type (Surface Mount)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Current rating (2.9A per Contact)
• Voltage rating (275VAC)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• RoHS compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant)
• Product status (Active)

The TFM-135-02-L-D-A-P has one qualified substitute within the Tiger Eye™ TFM series that maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility across all specified parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TFM-135-02-L-D-A-P and TFM-135-02-L-D-A-K are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and full inventory availability. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement lead times and stock availability. Both parts meet all specified electrical, mechanical, and environmental requirements for board-to-board or cable connector applications requiring 70-position, 2-row surface mount headers at 0.050" pitch with 2.9A per contact current capacity and 275VAC voltage rating.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TFM-135-02-L-D-A-K be used as a direct replacement for TFM-135-02-L-D-A-P?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all specified parameters including connector type, position count, pitch, mounting type, current rating, voltage rating, and operating temperature range. No design modifications are required for substitution.

Q: Are there any differences in contact finish or material composition between these parts?

A: No. Both parts use identical contact materials (Phosphor Bronze), insulation materials (Liquid Crystal Polymer), and contact finishes (Gold mating surface, Tin post finish).

Q: Do both parts have the same RoHS compliance status?

A: Yes. Both TFM-135-02-L-D-A-P and TFM-135-02-L-D-A-K are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the significance of the different suffix letters (P vs. K) in the part numbers?

A: The suffix letters indicate variant designations within the Tiger Eye™ TFM series. Both variants maintain full compatibility for the specified 70-position, 2-row, 0.050" pitch header configuration.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Q: What is the current inventory status for each part?

A: TFM-135-02-L-D-A-P has 762 pieces in stock, and TFM-135-02-L-D-A-K has 775 pieces in stock. Both are available as new original components.
