Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the TSM-118-01-FM-DH-A-K-TR have and what pitch does it use?
The TSM-118-01-FM-DH-A-K-TR provides 36 positions in a single-row layout at a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. This standard pitch ensures broad compatibility with conventional pin headers and male terminal strips across a wide range of PCB designs, making it a versatile choice for both prototyping and production boards.
What does the dual-height (DH) designation mean for the TSM-118-01-FM-DH-A-K-TR and why does it matter?
The dual-height (DH) designation indicates the connector body is designed to accommodate increased clearance between two mated PCBs. This is important in stacked board assemblies where components on one board may extend above the connector seating plane. The taller body allows designers to specify the required standoff distance, typically several millimeters, without adding separate spacers.
Can the TSM-118-01-FM-DH-A-K-TR be used in automated SMT assembly lines?
Yes, the TSM-118-01-FM-DH-A-K-TR is a surface mount component fully compatible with automated pick-and-place equipment and standard reflow soldering at peak temperatures up to 260°C. Its SMT footprint matches common PCB land pattern requirements, enabling efficient high-volume manufacturing without manual soldering steps, reducing assembly cost per board.
Which development or industrial applications commonly use the TSM-118-01-FM-DH-A-K-TR's 36-position female strip?
This 36-position female terminal strip is commonly found in Arduino-compatible development boards, industrial PLC expansion modules, laboratory test fixtures, and embedded system carriers where a standard 0.100" single-row female receptacle provides flexible modular connectivity. Its SMT mounting and 36-pin count support signal buses, power distribution rails, and mixed-signal routing across multiple functional blocks.
