What are the key features of TSM-121-03-TM-DH-P-TR?

  • 42 positions in dual-row 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch, 21 pins per row
  • Through-mount (TM) termination for secure PCB attachment during SMT reflow soldering
  • Tape-and-reel (TR) format enabling automated high-volume pick-and-place assembly
  • Gold-plated contacts for stable low-resistance interconnect performance over extended mating life
  • Dual-row design consolidating 42 signals in a compact standard-pitch PCB footprint

What is TSM-121-03-TM-DH-P-TR used for?

The TSM-121-03-TM-DH-P-TR serves industrial automation controllers, single-board computers, and network interface modules that require 42-position dual-row 0.100 inch pitch connectors for high-density signal routing. Its through-mount termination provides additional mechanical retention during board handling and reflow, making it suitable for boards exposed to vibration or shock in field-deployed equipment. The tape-and-reel format integrates seamlessly into automated SMT production workflows for medium-to-high-volume manufacturing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the TM (through-mount) termination on TSM-121-03-TM-DH-P-TR mean for PCB assembly?

TM denotes through-mount termination, meaning the TSM-121-03-TM-DH-P-TR has solder tails that pass through the PCB, providing added mechanical anchoring compared with surface-only termination. This improves resistance to vibration and mechanical stress in field-deployed systems, while maintaining compatibility with standard 2.54 mm pitch reflow or wave soldering processes.

How does the 42-position TSM-121 fit into a mixed power and signal connector scheme on a single PCB?

The 42-position dual-row layout at 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch on the TSM-121-03-TM-DH-P-TR provides 21 contacts per row, enough to route multiple SPI, I2C, UART, or GPIO signals alongside dedicated ground and power rails, all through a single mating connector interface in industrial or embedded computing board designs.

How does TSM-121-03-TM-DH-P-TR compare with TSM-120 or TSM-122 variants when selecting for pin count flexibility?

The TSM-121-03-TM-DH-P-TR offers 42 positions, sitting between the 40-position TSM-120 and 44-position TSM-122 in the SAMTEC TSM series. All share the same 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) dual-row footprint, so designers can step up or down by 2-pin increments without changing PCB layout geometry, easing pin-count scaling across product revisions.
