Frequently Asked Questions
How does the straight surface mount (SS) tail on TSM-118-04-SS-DH-P-TR differ from a formed-metal tail variant?
Straight surface mount (SS) tails extend perpendicularly from the connector body and sit directly on the PCB solder pads, providing a simple flat land pattern. Formed-metal (FM) tails are bent to a specific profile for enhanced solder fillets or taller stand-offs. For a 36-pin SMT strip, SS tails are preferred when co-planarity across all contacts is the primary soldering concern.
What is the total pin count and pitch of TSM-118-04-SS-DH-P-TR, and does it match standard PCB grid sizes?
TSM-118-04-SS-DH-P-TR has 36 positions in a dual-row layout with 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch—the most common through-hole and SMT grid in industrial and embedded PCB design. This makes it directly compatible with EDA library footprints for 0.100" headers across all major PCB CAD tools.
Is TSM-118-04-SS-DH-P-TR a suitable long-term procurement option for an industrial embedded platform with a 10-year design life?
Samtec's TSM series is an active product family with consistent long-term availability. Buyers building 10-year industrial platforms should confirm active lifecycle status at order time, request distributor last-time-buy notification service, and consider keeping 6–12 months of buffer stock given typical 2–3 week factory lead times for the 36-position tape-and-reel variant.
For a dense industrial I/O board, how many discrete signal lines can TSM-118-04-SS-DH-P-TR carry per connector?
With 36 positions in the dual-row layout, TSM-118-04-SS-DH-P-TR can carry up to 36 independent signal or mixed power-and-ground contacts per connector. Designers typically allocate 2–4 pins for ground reference, leaving 32–34 usable signal pins, covering a full 32-bit digital I/O port plus control and power lines in a single connector.
