Key Features
- 25-position single-row vertical SMT terminal strip at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch with female machined contacts for high-mating-cycle reliability
- Shrouded housing provides polarization and mechanical protection for the 25 contacts, preventing mis-mating and shielding pins from accidental contact
- Tape-and-reel (-TR) packaging enables automated high-volume pick-and-place assembly on standard SMT lines without manual feeding
Applications
The TSM-125-05-FM-SH-P-TR is well-suited for single-row 25-pin wire-to-board or board-to-board interfaces in industrial control panels, test equipment, and embedded computing modules where the 0.100" pitch standard provides compatibility with a wide range of mating headers. Its shrouded housing ensures correct mating orientation in field-replaceable module designs and backplane connectors used in PLC expansion racks, laboratory instruments, and prototyping platforms. The tape-and-reel format supports cost-efficient high-volume production assembly in consumer and commercial electronics.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pitch and contact type does TSM-125-05-FM-SH-P-TR use, and how does the machined female contact compare to stamped alternatives?
TSM-125-05-FM-SH-P-TR uses a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch with female machined contacts across 25 positions. Machined contacts provide tighter dimensional tolerances and lower contact resistance than stamped contacts, typically achieving less than 20 milliohms initial resistance, which benefits signal integrity in low-voltage logic and analog interfaces requiring consistent contact performance over many mating cycles.
What role does the shrouded housing play in the TSM-125-05-FM-SH-P-TR design for field-service applications?
The shrouded housing encloses all 25 female contacts, providing a keying and polarization feature that prevents incorrect connector insertion during field replacement or maintenance. This is especially valuable in 25-pin interfaces on industrial controllers and test equipment where technicians must connect cables quickly under time pressure, as the shroud physically blocks mating in the wrong orientation and protects the contacts from accidental damage.
How does the tape-and-reel packaging of TSM-125-05-FM-SH-P-TR benefit high-volume PCB assembly compared to tray packaging?
The -TR tape-and-reel suffix means TSM-125-05-FM-SH-P-TR is delivered on continuous tape reels compatible with standard SMT pick-and-place feeders. Compared to tray packaging, this eliminates manual loading steps between trays, enables continuous automated placement for the 25-position SMT connector, and reduces placement cycle time per board, which directly lowers assembly cost in production volumes of thousands of boards.
When is TSM-125-05-FM-SH-P-TR a preferred choice over a dual-row 0.050" pitch socket for a 25-signal interface?
TSM-125-05-FM-SH-P-TR is preferred when the mating connector on the cable or the opposing board uses the standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch, as this avoids custom cabling and leverages widely available 0.100" pitch male headers and IDC ribbon cable assemblies. The single-row 25-position shrouded format also simplifies strain relief and connector labeling compared to a dual-row 0.050" pitch alternative, reducing system integration time in prototyping and low-to-medium volume designs.
