Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the TSM-120-05-STL-SH-P-TR provide, and what is its contact pitch?
The TSM-120-05-STL-SH-P-TR provides 20 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration with a standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) contact pitch. This pitch is compatible with a wide range of mating connectors and standard IDC cable assemblies commonly used in industrial and embedded computing designs.
For a high-volume PCB production line, why is the TSM-120-05-STL-SH-P-TR's tape-and-reel format advantageous?
The tape-and-reel (TR) packaging of the TSM-120-05-STL-SH-P-TR allows automated pick-and-place machines to feed components at high speed with consistent placement accuracy, reducing manual handling errors. This format is optimized for reflow soldering lines producing hundreds or thousands of boards per shift, where SMT components must be placed within ±0.05 mm tolerances.
What protection does the shielded (SH) variant of the TSM-120-05-STL-SH-P-TR offer compared to an unshielded terminal strip?
The SH shielded housing provides a conductive enclosure around the 20-pin contact array, attenuating EMI and RFI interference that could corrupt signals on adjacent traces. In applications with switching power supplies or high-frequency logic running alongside the connector, the shield can reduce coupled noise by 20 dB or more, improving signal integrity on each of the 20 pins.
Which mating connector families are compatible with the TSM-120-05-STL-SH-P-TR for board-stacking applications?
The TSM-120-05-STL-SH-P-TR mates with SAMTEC TFM, SFM, and SSW series receptacles designed for 0.100" (2.54 mm) dual-row configurations of 20 positions. These mating parts accept the 0.64 mm square posts of the TSM series and are rated for 1 A per pin at up to 250 V, making them suitable for both signal and low-current power distribution in stacked board assemblies.
