What are the key features of TSM-118-04-L-DH-A-K-TR?
- 36-position dual-row 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch for broad compatibility with standard PCB grid designs
- Dual-height (DH) insulator providing additional board clearance for stacked PCB assemblies with tall components
- Right-angle (L) mounting orientation enabling horizontal board-to-board or edge connector configurations
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging supporting automated pick-and-place SMT assembly at high volume
What is TSM-118-04-L-DH-A-K-TR used for?
The TSM-118-04-L-DH-A-K-TR is designed for right-angle board-to-board and edge-connection applications in industrial control systems, backplane interconnects, and embedded computing modules where 36 signal positions on a 0.100" pitch must interface between perpendicularly oriented boards. Its dual-height profile accommodates components extending above the PCB surface, making it suitable for stacked board assemblies in rack-mounted equipment and instrument chassis. The tape-and-reel packaging enables efficient integration into automated SMT production lines handling high-volume board assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the right-angle (L) mounting style of TSM-118-04-L-DH-A-K-TR mean for PCB connector orientation?
The right-angle (L) orientation means the TSM-118-04-L-DH-A-K-TR's contact tails exit at 90 degrees to the connector mating face, allowing it to be mounted on the PCB edge and mate with a connector coming from the side rather than stacking vertically. This is critical for rack-mounted systems and panel-mount applications where board-to-board connections must be made horizontally across a 36-position 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch interface.
How does the dual-height (DH) feature of TSM-118-04-L-DH-A-K-TR benefit compact stacked PCB designs?
The dual-height (DH) feature provides an elevated insulator body — typically 3 mm to 5 mm taller than single-height variants — giving additional vertical clearance for components mounted on the opposing PCB in a stacked assembly. This prevents mechanical interference between the 36-position connector and nearby capacitors, inductors, or heat sinks that extend above the board surface by up to 4 mm.
Is the TSM-118-04-L-DH-A-K-TR suitable for high-volume automated PCB assembly?
Yes, the TSM-118-04-L-DH-A-K-TR is packaged in tape-and-reel (TR) format and is fully compatible with automated surface mount pick-and-place equipment and standard lead-free reflow profiles peaking at 260°C. The tape-and-reel format ensures consistent feeder delivery of all 36-position units at the required placement accuracy for a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch SMT connector.
Which applications are best served by the 36-position 0.100" pitch of TSM-118-04-L-DH-A-K-TR compared to a 30-position TSM-115 variant?
The 36-position TSM-118-04-L-DH-A-K-TR is preferred when designs require up to 18 differential signal pairs or 36 single-ended signals, offering 6 more positions than the 30-position TSM-115 series. Industrial backplanes, multi-axis motor drive systems, and high-channel-count data acquisition boards benefit from the extra 6 positions, which can be used for additional power pins, control signals, or ground returns without adding a second connector.
