Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are TFM-150-01-L-D and TFM-150-01-L-D-WT directly interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications including connector type, position count, pitch, contact materials, finish specifications, and operating parameters. They are direct substitutes within the same connector family.

Q: What is the difference between TFM-150-01-L-D and TFM-150-01-L-D-WT?

A: The TFM-150-01-L-D-WT includes solder retention as an additional feature. All other electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical.

Q: Can these connectors be used in high-temperature applications?

A: Both parts are rated for operating temperatures from -55°C to 125°C. Applications requiring operation outside this range require alternative connector selection.

Q: What is the current-carrying capacity per contact?

A: Each contact is rated for 2.9A maximum current. Total system current capacity depends on the number of loaded positions and circuit design.

Q: Are these parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both TFM-150-01-L-D and TFM-150-01-L-D-WT are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected.

Q: What is the pitch specification for these connectors?

A: The mating pitch is 0.050" (1.27mm) with row spacing also at 0.050" (1.27mm), providing a 2-row configuration with 50 positions per row.

Q: What contact finish is used for mating surfaces?

A: Gold plating at 15.0µin (0.38µm) thickness is applied to mating contact surfaces. Post contacts use tin finish.
