What are the key features of TSM-117-03-TL-DH-A-K-TR?
- 34-position dual-row layout at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch provides a standard high-density surface mount terminal interface
- TL-style leads enable a low-profile right-angle or through-hole-compatible SMT footprint for flexible PCB layout options
- Gold-plated (A) contacts deliver low and stable contact resistance for reliable signal integrity across all 34 positions
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables automated pick-and-place assembly for high-volume PCB production lines
What is TSM-117-03-TL-DH-A-K-TR used for?
The TSM-117-03-TL-DH-A-K-TR serves as a versatile 34-position surface mount terminal strip for board-to-board and wire-to-board interconnects in industrial control systems, test and measurement equipment, and embedded computing boards. Its 0.100" (2.54 mm) standard pitch ensures compatibility with a broad selection of mating dual-row headers and jumpers widely available in the market. The tape-and-reel format makes it well-suited for automated SMT assembly lines in medium- to high-volume manufacturing environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pitch and position count does the TSM-117-03-TL-DH-A-K-TR offer, and which mating connectors are compatible?
The TSM-117-03-TL-DH-A-K-TR has 34 positions in a dual-row arrangement at a standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. It mates with SAMTEC TMS, TSW, and compatible 2.54 mm dual-row pin headers from other manufacturers, giving designers broad second-source flexibility and easy prototype-to-production transition.
What does the gold contact plating on the TSM-117-03-TL-DH-A-K-TR provide over standard tin-plated alternatives?
Gold-plated contacts (designated by the -A suffix) on the TSM-117-03-TL-DH-A-K-TR provide contact resistance typically below 20 mΩ and maintain stable electrical performance across hundreds of mating cycles without oxidation buildup, making the strip preferable over matte tin contacts in high-cycle or low-voltage signal applications.
How does the dual-height (DH) contact design of the TSM-117-03-TL-DH-A-K-TR accommodate different mating connectors?
The DH (dual-height) feature provides two contact engagement levels within the 0.100" pitch housing, allowing the TSM-117-03-TL-DH-A-K-TR to mate reliably with both standard-height and tall mating pin headers across the 34-position interface without requiring additional mechanical adapters or modified PCB cutouts.
For a compact industrial controller with 34 signal channels, why choose the TSM-117-03-TL-DH-A-K-TR over a through-hole strip?
The TSM-117-03-TL-DH-A-K-TR eliminates drilled through-holes, reducing PCB fabrication cost and enabling component population on both board sides within the 34-position footprint area. Its tape-and-reel packaging also allows automated placement at rates exceeding 5,000 units per hour, cutting assembly cost compared to manual through-hole insertion.
What packaging format does the TSM-117-03-TL-DH-A-K-TR use, and what reel quantities are typically available?
The -TR suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging, compatible with standard 8 mm or 12 mm SMT carrier tapes used by automated pick-and-place machines. Authorized SAMTEC distributors typically stock the TSM-117-03-TL-DH-A-K-TR in reel quantities of 250 to 1,000 pieces, with same-day shipping available from stocked inventory.
