Key Features
- 36 positions (2 rows x 18) at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch
- Polarizing peg (P) prevents incorrect insertion for error-proof assembly
- Surface mount (SMT) footprint for automated reflow solder processes
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging for high-volume pick-and-place production
- Dual-row layout for high-density signal bus routing on compact PCBs
Applications
TSM-118-02-SM-DH-P-TR is used in industrial controllers, embedded computing boards, and communications modules that require 36-position dual-row SMT connectors for signal and power bus distribution. The polarizing peg feature is especially important in field-replaceable designs or high-volume production lines where incorrect mating must be prevented to protect sensitive circuitry.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does TSM-118-02-SM-DH-P-TR have, and what pitch is used between contacts?
TSM-118-02-SM-DH-P-TR has 36 total positions arranged in 2 rows of 18 contacts, with a standard 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch. This dual-row layout supports a wide range of signal and mixed-signal bus connections in embedded and industrial PCB designs.
In what scenario would a designer choose TSM-118-02-SM-DH-P-TR over a non-polarized equivalent connector?
Designers select the P-suffix (polarizing peg) variant when board-to-board mating must be foolproof, such as in field-replaceable modules or automated assembly lines where reversed insertion could damage 36-pin circuits. The polarizing peg physically blocks incorrect orientation, ensuring every connector seats in the correct direction every time.
What packaging format does TSM-118-02-SM-DH-P-TR come in, and what does this mean for ordering in quantity?
TSM-118-02-SM-DH-P-TR ships in tape-and-reel (TR) format, enabling automated SMT pick-and-place assembly at production volumes. Buyers typically order in reel quantities; minimum order quantities (MOQ) for 36-position SMT connectors in tape-and-reel are usually set by distributors in increments of 100 to 500 pieces, so procurement teams should confirm reel size with authorized SAMTEC distributors.
