Key Features
- 36-position dual-row layout at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch delivering high channel density in a standard header footprint
- Tape-and-reel packaging optimized for automated SMT pick-and-place production lines
- Surface-mount termination style compatible with lead-free reflow soldering up to 260°C
- Low-profile dual-row configuration reduces required PCB edge length by 50% versus a single-row 36-position strip
Applications
The TSM-118-01-STL-DH-P-TR is used in backplane and daughter-card interfaces, industrial PLC expansion modules, and multi-channel data acquisition boards where 36 positions are needed for combined signal and power distribution. Its standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch makes it interoperable with a wide range of mating plugs and cable assemblies already common in industrial and embedded system designs. The tape-and-reel format supports high-throughput automated assembly lines, making it a practical choice for medium to high production volumes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many contacts are in the TSM-118-01-STL-DH-P-TR, and how are they arranged?
The TSM-118-01-STL-DH-P-TR contains 36 contacts arranged in a dual-row configuration with 18 positions per row at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. The total connector body length is approximately 45.72 mm, providing ample capacity for mixed signal and power interconnect applications across a single mated interface.
Can the TSM-118-01-STL-DH-P-TR handle both power and signal contacts simultaneously?
Yes, the 36-position dual-row layout at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch supports mixed signal and power allocation across the connector. Individual pins in SAMTEC TSM series connectors are typically rated at 3 A per contact, allowing engineers to dedicate several pins for power rails while using the remaining positions for data signals in a single compact connector.
For which board architectures is a 36-position connector like the TSM-118-01-STL-DH-P-TR commonly specified?
A 36-position terminal strip is commonly specified for backplane-to-daughter-card interfaces, CPU carrier boards with peripheral expansion, and industrial PLC I/O modules where large numbers of signals must cross a single board boundary. The dual-row 0.100" layout at 45.72 mm body length provides a well-balanced mix of pin density and mechanical engagement area, reducing board edge congestion compared to multiple smaller connectors.
What is the benefit of specifying the tape-and-reel variant (TSM-118-01-STL-DH-P-TR) over a tube or bulk-pack option?
The tape-and-reel (-TR) variant packages components at a fixed orientation on 7-inch or 13-inch reels, enabling uninterrupted automated pick-and-place operation at line rates exceeding 5000 placements per hour. For production orders of 500 or more units, reel packaging significantly reduces manual handling time, lowers placement error rates across all 36 positions, and improves traceability compared to tube or loose-bulk alternatives.
