Key Features
- 20-position dual-row SMT terminal strip on 2.54 mm (.100") pitch delivering 40 total contacts in a high-density vertical layout
- Polarization (P) feature prevents mis-insertion during assembly, reducing connector mating errors in automated manufacturing
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging supports high-volume automated pick-and-place assembly for efficient production runs
Applications
The TSM-120-05-SM-SH-P-TR is ideal for backplane, mezzanine, and daughter-card connections in industrial control and embedded computing systems requiring up to 40 signal connections at 2.54 mm pitch. Its vertical SMT orientation and polarization feature simplify automated assembly and prevent mis-mating in high-density designs. The tape-and-reel format supports seamless integration into volume PCB production lines with pick-and-place equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many total contact positions does TSM-120-05-SM-SH-P-TR provide across its dual-row layout?
TSM-120-05-SM-SH-P-TR provides 20 positions per row in a dual-row arrangement, yielding 40 total contact positions at 2.54 mm (.100") pitch, making it suitable for high-density backplane, daughter card, or instrumentation bus connections where many signals must be routed in a compact SMT footprint.
What does the polarization (P) option add to TSM-120-05-SM-SH-P-TR in automated assembly?
The P polarization feature on TSM-120-05-SM-SH-P-TR adds a mechanical key that prevents incorrect connector mating orientation. In automated board assembly or field service scenarios, this single-orientation keying eliminates the risk of reversing a 40-pin connection, preventing potential damage to 3.3 V or 5 V signal lines.
Why is tape-and-reel (TR) packaging important for TSM-120-05-SM-SH-P-TR in volume production?
The TR (tape-and-reel) packaging of TSM-120-05-SM-SH-P-TR allows the connectors to be fed directly into standard pick-and-place machines, supporting reflow soldering at up to 260°C. This eliminates manual placement and enables consistent 2.54 mm positioning accuracy across thousands of units per production run.
For a motor drive controller PCB needing 30+ signal lines, would TSM-120-05-SM-SH-P-TR be a suitable expansion header?
Yes. TSM-120-05-SM-SH-P-TR provides 40 total contact positions at 2.54 mm pitch in a dual-row SMT footprint, comfortably accommodating 30 or more signals alongside power and ground lines. Its -55°C to +125°C temperature rating also matches the thermal requirements typical of motor drive control environments.
