Key Features
- 24-position dual-row terminal strip at 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) industry-standard pitch for straightforward PCB footprint design and broad mating connector compatibility
- Low-profile horizontal mount (LM) orientation reduces connector height above the PCB, enabling thinner product enclosures and right-angle board-to-board connections
- Shrouded (SH) housing protects all 24 positions from bent-pin damage during assembly and guides mating connector alignment for reliable field service
Applications
The TSM-124-05-LM-SH-P-TR serves as a compact 24-position interface in industrial sensor modules, embedded computing daughter boards, and consumer electronics where a right-angle or low-height SMT terminal strip simplifies cable or board routing along the PCB edge. Its shrouded 0.100 inch pitch dual-row body is well matched to test and measurement breakout boards and edge-mount panel connectors requiring a guided mate in tight chassis. The tape-and-reel format integrates seamlessly into automated SMT production lines, minimizing placement overhead for high-volume assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the LM designation indicate on TSM-124-05-LM-SH-P-TR, and how does it change the connector's PCB footprint?
The LM designation on TSM-124-05-LM-SH-P-TR indicates a low-profile horizontal mount orientation, meaning the connector body lies parallel to the PCB surface rather than standing vertically. This reduces the assembled height above the board to the connector body depth rather than its full length, which is valuable in slim enclosures with a Z-axis clearance constraint of less than 10 mm. The PCB footprint shifts from a vertical column of pads to a horizontal row, affecting keepout zones along the board edge.
For a 24-signal parallel bus between a host PCB and a right-angle breakout card, how does TSM-124-05-LM-SH-P-TR compare to a standard vertical header?
TSM-124-05-LM-SH-P-TR's horizontal LM mount routes the 24 signal pins along the PCB plane rather than perpendicular to it, eliminating the need for a separate right-angle adapter in many edge-routing scenarios. At 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch, the 24-position dual-row body spans approximately 30.5 mm in the contact row direction, which is the same footprint width as a vertical 24-pin header but with a lower height profile, giving a layout advantage in flat-pack and panel-mount designs.
Does the shrouded housing on TSM-124-05-LM-SH-P-TR support blind-mate operations in rack-mount equipment?
Yes, the SH (shrouded) housing on TSM-124-05-LM-SH-P-TR provides a plastic guide that surrounds all 24 contact positions and funnels the mating connector into correct engagement, which is particularly valuable in rack-mount or blind-mate panel assemblies where visual alignment is impossible. The shroud reduces the risk of bent pins or incomplete engagement common in open-pin headers during field insertion, improving reliability in server backplanes and industrial rack card systems with 24 or fewer signal connections.
How does the 24-position TSM-124-05-LM-SH-P-TR compare to the 34-position TSM-134-05-SS-SH-P-TR for a design requiring only 20 active signals?
For a design needing only 20 active signals, TSM-124-05-LM-SH-P-TR's 24 positions provide 4 spare contacts for ground assignment or future signal expansion with a smaller physical body than the 34-position TSM-134-05-SS-SH-P-TR. The 24-position variant saves approximately 10 mm of PCB length along the connector row at 2.54 mm pitch, reducing board area cost. Both share the same SH shroud and P (Pb-free) finish, so qualification testing can be shared across both sizes if the design family later needs the wider 34-position interface.
