What are the key features of TSM-118-05-L-SH-P-TR?

  • 18-position dual-row surface-mount terminal strip at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch for standard board-to-board interconnects
  • Single-row vertical SMT orientation minimizes PCB footprint and simplifies routing in space-constrained designs
  • Tape-and-reel (-TR) packaging enables high-speed automated pick-and-place assembly on SMT production lines

What is TSM-118-05-L-SH-P-TR used for?

TSM-118-05-L-SH-P-TR is used for surface-mount board-to-board and board-to-cable signal connections in embedded computing modules, test fixtures, and industrial control panels. The 18-position dual-row layout at 2.54 mm pitch provides compatibility with standard 0.100" pitch mating connectors and ribbon cable headers, enabling straightforward integration into existing PCB designs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the pitch spacing and position count of TSM-118-05-L-SH-P-TR, and how do these dimensions affect PCB layout planning?

TSM-118-05-L-SH-P-TR features 18 positions in a dual-row configuration at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. The 2.54 mm row-to-row spacing makes it compatible with standard DIP footprint land patterns, simplifying PCB layout. The surface-mount vertical profile eliminates through-hole drilling, saving board space and reducing fabrication costs for designs requiring up to 18 signal connections.

For high-volume SMT manufacturing, how does the -TR suffix on TSM-118-05-L-SH-P-TR support automated assembly?

The -TR suffix on TSM-118-05-L-SH-P-TR designates tape-and-reel packaging, which feeds directly into automated pick-and-place machines at standard 2.54 mm pitch part spacing. This enables placement rates of hundreds of components per hour with typical position accuracy of ±0.05 mm, greatly reducing manual handling compared to bulk tray packaging for 18-position SMT connectors.

When is TSM-118-05-L-SH-P-TR the right alternative to a through-hole 18-position terminal strip in an embedded control design?

TSM-118-05-L-SH-P-TR is preferred over through-hole alternatives when the PCB cannot accommodate drill holes, or when a single-sided SMT assembly process is required. The surface-mount single-row vertical orientation routes 18 signals without penetrating the board, reducing layer interference. It suits compact embedded controllers, sensor interface boards, and daughtercards where only one PCB side is accessible for soldering.
