What are the key features of TSM-121-04-LM-DH-A-K-TR?
- 42 positions in dual-row 0.100" pitch for high-density signal distribution
- Low-profile mounting (LM) minimizes connector height above PCB for space-constrained designs
- Kinked tails (K) provide mechanical pre-load for stable solder joints during reflow
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enabling high-volume automated SMT production
What is TSM-121-04-LM-DH-A-K-TR used for?
The TSM-121-04-LM-DH-A-K-TR is suited for high-density backplane interfaces, embedded computing modules, and industrial automation controllers requiring 42-position dual-row signal routing at 0.100" pitch. Its low-profile mounting option keeps system height to a minimum, making it ideal for slim enclosure designs. The kinked tail construction ensures consistent solder joint quality across all 42 contacts during automated reflow processing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the LM suffix mean in TSM-121-04-LM-DH-A-K-TR and how does it affect PCB height?
The LM suffix stands for Low-profile Mounting, which reduces the connector's standing height above the PCB compared to standard profiles. This typically results in a mounted height of approximately 4.5 mm, making the TSM-121-04-LM-DH-A-K-TR ideal for slim enclosures and stacked board assemblies where vertical space across 42 positions is constrained.
How many contact positions does TSM-121-04-LM-DH-A-K-TR provide and how are they arranged?
The connector provides 42 total contact positions arranged in 2 rows of 21 at a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. This dual-row configuration delivers high signal density in a compact footprint suitable for data buses, GPIO expansion headers, and multi-rail power distribution on embedded PCBs.
For what production environments is the TR packaging of TSM-121-04-LM-DH-A-K-TR optimized?
The tape-and-reel (TR) packaging is optimized for high-volume SMT production lines using automated pick-and-place equipment. Components are supplied on 32 mm carrier tape at consistent spacing, enabling feeder-based placement of the 42-position connector at rates of hundreds to thousands of placements per hour with minimal operator intervention.
Can TSM-121-04-LM-DH-A-K-TR withstand high operating temperatures found in industrial environments?
SAMTEC TSM-series connectors are typically rated for operating temperatures from -55°C to +125°C, accommodating the thermal cycling demands of industrial control cabinets, motor drives, and power conversion equipment. The gold-plated contacts maintain contact resistance below 20 milliohms throughout this temperature range, ensuring reliable signal integrity across all 42 positions.
