Frequently Asked Questions
What is the pin count and configuration of TSM-121-04-S-DH-A-K-TR?
TSM-121-04-S-DH-A-K-TR provides 42 total positions in a dual-row layout with 21 pins per row on a 0.100" (2.54 mm) centerline pitch. The dual-high stacking profile accommodates designs that require clearance above the board surface while maintaining a standard 2.54 mm pitch footprint for broad PCB compatibility.
How does TSM-121-04-S-DH-A-K-TR perform in high-cycle mating applications?
With gold-plated contacts (K suffix), TSM-121-04-S-DH-A-K-TR maintains stable contact resistance below 20 mΩ across more than 500 mating cycles under standard SAMTEC test conditions. Gold resists oxidation and fretting corrosion, making this 42-position connector well suited for test fixtures, development boards, and any system where connectors are mated and unmated frequently.
Which applications benefit most from the dual-high stack height of TSM-121-04-S-DH-A-K-TR?
The dual-high (DH) stack height provides extra clearance of approximately 8.89 mm above the PCB surface, accommodating component clearance zones or mating connectors with taller housings. This is particularly useful in backplane designs where ribbon cables, heat sinks, or through-board components occupy space adjacent to the 42-position header, preventing physical interference during mating.
