Frequently Asked Questions
What is the total position count and row configuration of the TSM-121-01-H-DH-A-K-TR?
The TSM-121-01-H-DH-A-K-TR has 42 total positions arranged in 2 rows of 21 contacts each at a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch, supporting up to 21 differential pairs or 42 single-ended signal lines across a single surface mount connector footprint.
Which embedded board designs commonly use the TSM-121-01-H-DH-A-K-TR 42-pin terminal strip?
Embedded processor expansion boards, FPGA breakout cards, and multi-channel ADC interface modules with 42-signal I/O buses are typical users of this connector. The 2.54 mm pitch aligns with standard 0.1-inch header footprints widely used in Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and custom embedded development boards.
How does the TSM-121-01-H-DH-A-K-TR differ from the TSM-119 (38-pin) variant in routing flexibility?
The TSM-121 provides 4 more positions than the TSM-119 (42 vs. 38 pins), adding 2 more positions per row at the same 2.54 mm pitch. Designers benefit from the extra 4 contacts when dedicating 2 pins each to power and ground rails alongside 38 signal lines, reducing the need for a separate power connector.
What is the significance of the DH suffix in the TSM-121-01-H-DH-A-K-TR part number?
The DH suffix indicates a dual-height or double-height solder tail configuration, providing extended lead length of approximately 3 mm to 5 mm below the connector body. This extended tail improves solder joint strength and accommodates thicker PCB stackups or boards with reinforced mounting pads in vibration-prone industrial applications.
