Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the TSM-118-04-LM-DH-P-TR have, and at what pitch is it laid out?
The TSM-118-04-LM-DH-P-TR provides 36 positions arranged on a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch in a dual-row layout, which is the most common grid spacing in through-hole and SMT board interconnection, ensuring broad PCB compatibility and easy routing.
Does the tape-and-reel packaging of the TSM-118-04-LM-DH-P-TR support high-volume automated SMT assembly?
Yes, the TR suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging, which is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly lines. This allows the 36-position connector to be fed continuously through SMT equipment at production volumes without manual handling of individual components.
In what type of PCB designs is a dual-row 0.100 inch terminal strip like the TSM-118-04-LM-DH-P-TR typically used?
Dual-row 0.100 inch terminal strips with 36 positions are typically used in industrial control panels, embedded computing daughterboards, and test fixture boards where high-density signal routing, standard 2.54 mm grid compatibility, and SMT assembly are all required simultaneously.
Can the TSM-118-04-LM-DH-P-TR replace a through-hole 36-position dual-row header in a board redesign targeting SMT assembly?
Yes, the TSM-118-04-LM-DH-P-TR is the surface mount equivalent of standard 36-position dual-row 0.100 inch through-hole headers. Replacing through-hole parts with this SMT terminal strip eliminates wave soldering and reduces assembly steps, though the PCB pad layout must be updated to match the SMT footprint.
