What are the key features of TSM-118-02-TL-DH-P-TR?

  • 36 positions in a dual-row layout on 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch for versatile signal routing
  • Right-angle (TL) surface-mount termination for board-edge mating with reduced Z-height
  • Dual-height (DH) body accommodates stacked PCB clearance in multi-board assemblies
  • Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables automated pick-and-place SMT production
  • Compatible with SAMTEC TSM family mating receptacles and 0.100 inch standard housings

What is TSM-118-02-TL-DH-P-TR used for?

TSM-118-02-TL-DH-P-TR serves high-density board-edge interconnect roles in computing mother boards, networking switch cards, and industrial PLC backplanes where 36 positions at 0.100 inch pitch are required in a right-angle SMT orientation. The dual-height body provides extra clearance for daughter card stackups or ribbon cable mating in compact enclosures. Tape-and-reel format supports automated assembly on standard SMT production lines processing thousands of units per shift.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many contacts does TSM-118-02-TL-DH-P-TR provide, and what mating orientation does it support?

The TSM-118-02-TL-DH-P-TR offers 36 contacts arranged in a dual-row configuration on a 0.100 inch pitch. The TL (right-angle, top-loaded) orientation positions the mating interface horizontally at the board edge, allowing daughter cards or cable assemblies to plug in perpendicular to the PCB plane, which is beneficial in enclosures with limited vertical clearance above the board.

What does the DH (dual-height) designation mean for PCB stackup and mechanical clearance planning?

The dual-height (DH) designation indicates the connector body is taller than a standard single-height variant, providing additional clearance between the mated PCBs in a stacked assembly. For a 36-pin right-angle SMT header at 0.100 inch pitch, the DH body is specified when daughter cards or mezzanine boards sit at a greater board-to-board separation, such as assemblies requiring 8 mm or more of inter-board gap for components or airflow.

Is TSM-118-02-TL-DH-P-TR compatible with automated SMT assembly, and what packaging does it ship in?

Yes. The -TR suffix confirms tape-and-reel packaging, which is fully compatible with automated pick-and-place machines used in standard SMT reflow assembly lines. This packaging format is preferred for volume production of 1000 or more units per run, enabling consistent placement accuracy for the 36-pin 0.100 inch pitch right-angle connector without manual handling between reels.
