Key Features
- 32-position dual-row .100" pitch layout balances high contact count with compact SMT footprint
- Polarized alignment (P suffix) prevents incorrect connector orientation during field installation and automated assembly
- Stainless steel (SS) hardware construction offers superior corrosion resistance for harsh environment deployments
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging optimized for high-speed automated pick-and-place SMT assembly lines
Applications
The TSM-116-03-SS-DH-P-TR is ideal for industrial electronics, test and measurement boards, and embedded control systems that require 32-pin dual-row SMT connections with mechanical polarization to prevent mismating errors. Its stainless steel hardware makes it well-suited for outdoor or chemically exposed environments. The tape-and-reel format supports high-volume PCB assembly operations in electronics manufacturing services.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the SS designation mean for TSM-116-03-SS-DH-P-TR and when should it be chosen over standard versions?
The SS designation on the TSM-116-03-SS-DH-P-TR indicates stainless steel hardware, which provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard steel or brass hardware. Engineers should specify this variant when deploying in humid, salt-spray, or chemically aggressive environments—such as outdoor equipment enclosures or industrial process control panels—where standard hardware could rust or degrade over a 5 to 10 year product lifetime.
How does the polarized feature (P suffix) prevent assembly errors in the TSM-116-03-SS-DH-P-TR?
The P suffix on the TSM-116-03-SS-DH-P-TR denotes physical polarization, meaning the connector body includes a keying feature that allows mating in only one orientation. On a 32-position dual-row .100" pitch strip, incorrect insertion could damage 32 contacts at once. Polarization eliminates this risk on the production floor and in the field, reducing rework costs and preventing damage from reverse insertion.
How does the 32-position dual-row configuration of this terminal strip affect the board layout versus a 16-position single-row version?
The 32-position dual-row TSM-116-03-SS-DH-P-TR carries twice the signal count of a 16-position single-row strip in roughly the same board length at .100" (2.54 mm) pitch. The dual-row body is wider (two-row depth) but the longitudinal board space is equivalent, making it preferable when 32 signals must be routed in a single connector zone rather than two separate 16-pin connectors placed end-to-end.
What alternative SAMTEC parts should be considered if the TSM-116-03-SS-DH-P-TR lead time is too long?
If the TSM-116-03-SS-DH-P-TR is on extended lead time, designers can evaluate other SAMTEC TSM-series 32-position dual-row parts with different hardware or packaging options, such as non-taped bulk versions or variants without the stainless steel hardware. For a completely different series, the TSW or ESW dual-row headers at .100" pitch offer similar 32-pin layouts and are often available from multiple distributors with shorter lead times of 4 to 6 weeks.
