What are the key features of TSM-123-02-FM-DH-P-TR?
- 46 positions in dual-row layout at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch for high signal density on a standard-pitch footprint
- Flat-mount (FM) lead style allowing the connector to sit flush with the PCB surface for minimal height profile
- Polarized (-P) keying preventing reverse-mating and incorrect connector insertion on boards with multiple adjacent headers
- Tape-and-reel (-TR) packaging for seamless integration into automated SMT pick-and-place assembly lines
- Dual-in-line header (DH) format compatible with standard 0.100" pitch dual-row female sockets and receptacles
What is TSM-123-02-FM-DH-P-TR used for?
The TSM-123-02-FM-DH-P-TR is optimized for high-density dual-row board-to-board and board-to-cable interconnects in embedded computing modules, industrial fieldbus interface cards, and programmable logic controller I/O expansion boards where 46-pin connectivity at standard 0.100" pitch is required. Its flat-mount profile and polarized keying suit multi-connector PCB assemblies in process control and data acquisition equipment, ensuring correct assembly orientation while minimizing connector height above the board surface.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the flat-mount (FM) lead style on TSM-123-02-FM-DH-P-TR affect PCB clearance compared to a standard upright SMT pin?
The flat-mount (FM) lead style bends the solder tails horizontally before they contact the board pads, reducing the overall connector height above the PCB by approximately 1 mm to 2 mm compared to straight-pin SMT versions. This profile suits enclosures with tight internal height constraints, such as industrial DIN-rail modules or compact embedded controller housings where a 46-pin dual-row connector at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch must not protrude above adjacent component heights.
When does a 46-position count make TSM-123-02-FM-DH-P-TR a better fit than a 56- or 60-position SAMTEC strip for an embedded I/O application?
A 46-pin dual-row header at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch covers common embedded bus widths such as a 32-bit address or data bus plus power, ground, and control signals without the extra 10 to 14 pins added by TSM-128 or TSM-130 series connectors. Choosing TSM-123-02-FM-DH-P-TR shortens the connector body by approximately 12.7 mm versus a 60-position version, freeing board space along the connector edge for adjacent components on constrained PCB layouts.
How does polarized keying on TSM-123-02-FM-DH-P-TR reduce assembly defects in boards with multiple dual-row headers?
The -P polarized keying introduces an asymmetric blocking feature that prevents the mating 46-position female connector from being inserted rotated 180 degrees or plugged into a physically adjacent header with a different key position. On PCBs with 3 or more dual-row 0.100" headers placed within 10 mm of each other, this keying prevents cross-connector errors that could feed 5 V signals into 3.3 V rails or reverse power and ground connections across 46 pins simultaneously.
What current-carrying capacity should engineers plan for when sharing power and signal pins across TSM-123-02-FM-DH-P-TR in an industrial I/O module?
SAMTEC TSM series contacts at 0.100" pitch carry a nominal 1 A per pin in free air at 25°C. For an industrial I/O board with a 24 V power rail, designers typically dedicate 3 to 4 adjacent pins in parallel for 3 A to 4 A power delivery, leaving the remaining 42 to 43 positions for signal, ground, and bus lines. Keeping power-carrying pins to no more than 30% of the 46-position connector preserves connector temperature rise below 30°C above ambient.
