Key Features
- 36-position dual-row SMT terminal strip at 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch for high-density board-to-board and board-to-wire applications
- Low-profile mounting (LM) design reduces connector height above the PCB, ideal for slim electronic assemblies
- Dual-height (DH) contact option supports flexible mating with headers of varying stack heights
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables automated high-volume pick-and-place SMT assembly
Applications
The TSM-118-04-LM-DH-A-K-TR is ideal for 36-pin dual-row interconnect applications in embedded computing, industrial control, and telecommunications equipment that require a standard 0.100-inch-pitch surface-mount terminal strip. Its low-profile mounting minimizes PCB height above the connector, benefiting thin-profile rack-mount boards and panel instruments. The tape-and-reel packaging streamlines automated SMT production for both prototype and large-volume manufacturing runs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the TSM-118-04-LM-DH-A-K-TR provide, and how are they arranged?
The TSM-118-04-LM-DH-A-K-TR provides 36 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration at 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch. This dual-row layout allows 36 signal or power pins to be packed into a compact SMT footprint, suitable for embedded computing modules, backplane connectors, and industrial control boards.
What advantages does the low-profile mounting (LM) feature offer in slim PCB stack designs?
The low-profile mounting (LM) designation means the connector sits closer to the PCB surface than standard terminal strips, reducing the overall assembly height at 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch. This is beneficial for thin rack-mount server boards, industrial HMI modules, and consumer electronics where a reduced PCB stack height with 36 pins is a design requirement.
Is the TSM-118-04-LM-DH-A-K-TR available in tape-and-reel for automated assembly, and what pitch are the pads?
Yes, the TR suffix designates tape-and-reel packaging, and the connector uses standard 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch SMT pads compatible with automated pick-and-place machines and reflow soldering. This makes the TSM-118-04-LM-DH-A-K-TR suitable for high-throughput production of 36-position dual-row SMT connector assemblies.
When is the TSM-118-04-LM-DH-A-K-TR a better choice than a through-hole 36-pin header for dual-row connections?
The surface-mount design eliminates the need for 36 through-hole drillings per connector, freeing routing space on the PCB bottom side and reducing board fabrication cost. At 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch in a dual-row configuration, the TSM-118-04-LM-DH-A-K-TR is preferred when full SMT assembly is required for automated production lines or when the PCB lacks space for through-hole barrel zones.
