Frequently Asked Questions
What is the pin count and pitch of the TSM-121-03-H-DH-A-K-TR connector?
The TSM-121-03-H-DH-A-K-TR is a 42-position connector with 21 pins per row in a dual-row layout at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. This provides a total of 42 signal contacts, suitable for high-density module and daughter board interfaces in industrial and embedded applications.
How does the keying (K) option on the TSM-121-03-H-DH-A-K-TR reduce assembly errors?
The K keying feature adds a physical asymmetry to the connector housing that prevents incorrect mating with unkeyed or differently keyed connectors. On boards with multiple 42-pin headers at 0.100" pitch, this eliminates polarity and orientation errors during assembly, reducing costly rework on populated PCBs in production environments.
Can the TSM-121-03-H-DH-A-K-TR be used in automated pick-and-place production?
Yes. The TSM-121-03-H-DH-A-K-TR is supplied in tape-and-reel (TR) packaging fully compatible with automated SMT pick-and-place equipment. The surface mount termination supports standard reflow soldering processes, and the consistent 0.100" pitch spacing ensures repeatable placement accuracy in high-volume PCB assembly lines.
