What are the key features of TSM-118-02-STL-DH-P-TR?
- 36 positions in dual-row 0.100" pitch layout for reliable multi-signal PCB interconnects
- Shrouded housing (STL) protects contacts from mechanical damage and ensures correct mating orientation
- Dual-height (DH) design accommodates different header pin lengths for varied stack heights
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging for seamless integration into automated SMT pick-and-place assembly
- Surface mount termination provides consistent solder joint reliability in wave or reflow processes
What is TSM-118-02-STL-DH-P-TR used for?
The TSM-118-02-STL-DH-P-TR is well-suited for industrial control panels, embedded computing modules, and peripheral interface boards where a shrouded 36-position connector prevents accidental mismating and protects signal contacts. Its dual-height configuration provides flexibility in board-to-board stack height selection, accommodating design variations from 8 mm to 20 mm. Tape-and-reel packaging and SMT termination make it directly compatible with fully automated PCB assembly lines in telecommunications and computing hardware production.

Frequently Asked Questions
What connector orientation protection does the shrouded housing of TSM-118-02-STL-DH-P-TR provide?
The shrouded (STL) housing on this 36-position connector features a plastic polarizing shroud that physically prevents incorrect mating orientation and protects all contacts from bending or contamination during handling. This is critical in production environments where assemblers manually install daughterboards on motherboards with 36 signal lines active.
How does dual-height (DH) design in TSM-118-02-STL-DH-P-TR affect board-to-board stack height selection?
The dual-height (DH) feature allows TSM-118-02-STL-DH-P-TR to mate with header pins of two different lengths, supporting board-to-board stack heights ranging from 8 mm to 20 mm without changing the SMT footprint. Engineers can adjust component height on the mating header to accommodate PCBs with taller capacitors or heatsinks on either board in the stack.
What is the current capacity per contact for TSM-118-02-STL-DH-P-TR and how should power pins be allocated?
Each contact in the SAMTEC TSM series is rated for approximately 1.5 A continuous current at an ambient temperature of 25°C. For a 36-position connector carrying mixed power and signal loads, a common design practice allocates 4 to 6 contacts for power and ground, limiting per-pin current to below 1 A to maintain thermal margins across the full contact row.
At what production volume is tape-and-reel packaging of TSM-118-02-STL-DH-P-TR most cost-effective versus tray packaging?
Tape-and-reel packaging for TSM-118-02-STL-DH-P-TR becomes cost-effective at production volumes above 1,000 boards per batch, where automated pick-and-place placement reduces labor cost by eliminating manual loading of each 36-position connector. Reel quantities typically contain 500 to 1000 pieces, minimizing feeder replenishment frequency on production lines running more than 2,000 units per shift.
