Frequently Asked Questions
How many contacts does the TSM-118-04-F-DH-P-TR carry, and what is its connector pitch?
The TSM-118-04-F-DH-P-TR is a 36-contact dual-row terminal strip using the industry-standard 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch, which ensures broad compatibility with mating connectors and PCB layouts in industrial control and embedded computing applications.
What role does the friction-lock shroud play in vibration-prone industrial applications?
The friction-lock shroud on this 36-position surface mount strip grips the mating housing mechanically, preventing accidental disconnection under vibration loads encountered in industrial machinery, motor drives, and embedded computing enclosures where a standard 0.100 inch pitch connection could otherwise back out.
Does the tape-and-reel format of the TSM-118-04-F-DH-P-TR simplify high-volume SMT production?
Yes. The TR suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging for this 36-pin dual-row connector, allowing direct loading into SMT feeders on pick-and-place machines; this eliminates manual placement labor and improves placement repeatability at 0.100 inch pitch for high-volume PCB production runs.
When should a designer choose the TSM-118 series over a through-hole dual-row header at the same 0.100 inch pitch?
Surface mount TSM-118 series connectors are preferred when the PCB design eliminates through-holes to maximize routing layers and reduce drilling costs; the SMT variant also supports full-board reflow in a single pass, whereas a through-hole 36-pin header requires a separate wave solder or hand-solder step.
