Applications
The TSM-115-04-L-DH-A-K-TR is suited for high-density SMT signal routing in embedded computing boards, daughter card interconnects, and industrial control PCBs requiring a standard 2.54 mm pitch terminal strip. Its tape-and-reel packaging makes it ideal for automated production lines where consistent pick-and-place placement of 30-position dual-row connectors is required. It is commonly found in test fixtures, communication modules, and prototype expansion headers where a reliable surface mount grid connector simplifies signal access and routing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the pitch and position count of the TSM-115-04-L-DH-A-K-TR, and how does it affect PCB layout?
The TSM-115-04-L-DH-A-K-TR has 30 positions arranged in 2 rows at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch, the standard grid spacing used across most through-hole and SMT PCB design tools. This alignment with standard 2.54 mm grids simplifies PCB footprint creation and ensures compatibility with a broad range of mating headers, simplifying board-to-board interconnect design for 15 signals per row.
Why is the tape and reel (TR) packaging of the TSM-115-04-L-DH-A-K-TR beneficial for production assembly?
Tape and reel packaging allows the TSM-115-04-L-DH-A-K-TR to be fed directly into automated SMT pick-and-place machines, eliminating hand-loading steps and reducing placement errors on high-volume production runs. For a 30-position dual-row SMT connector at 2.54 mm pitch, tape-and-reel supply ensures consistent orientation and reduces connector damage compared to bulk-bag handling during automated assembly.
Which embedded or industrial PCB designs benefit from the TSM-115-04-L-DH-A-K-TR's dual-row layout?
Single-board computers, industrial I/O expansion modules, and test fixture PCBs benefit from the TSM-115-04-L-DH-A-K-TR's 30-position dual-row 2.54 mm pitch layout, which provides access to up to 30 signal or power lines in a compact SMT connector. Its low-profile SMT design also fits inside space-constrained enclosures where a taller through-hole connector would exceed height clearance limits.
How does the SMT termination of the TSM-115-04-L-DH-A-K-TR compare to through-hole alternatives for mechanical retention?
Surface mount termination on the TSM-115-04-L-DH-A-K-TR relies on solder joint shear strength rather than through-board mechanical anchoring, which is adequate for low-mating-force applications with 30 positions at 2.54 mm pitch. For designs requiring frequent connector mating, adding SMT mounting pins or board locks increases mechanical retention, whereas through-hole equivalents inherently anchor to both sides of the PCB for higher pull-out resistance.
