Key Features
- 52-position dual-row terminal strip at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch providing industry-standard grid compatibility for broad mating connector selection
- Surface-mount SMT design enables low-profile board assembly and automated reflow soldering for high-volume production
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging supports high-throughput automated pick-and-place manufacturing with consistent placement accuracy
- Dual-row DH (dual height) configuration accommodates power and signal contacts in a compact, high-density board area
Applications
The TSM-126-03-TM-DH-A-K-TR is designed for high-pin-count surface-mount interconnect applications in industrial controllers, embedded computing boards, and test-and-measurement equipment requiring 52 positions at the standard 0.100" pitch. Its dual-row layout is widely used in development boards, expansion modules, and backplane daughter-card interfaces where a large number of signal lines must be routed in a minimal PCB area. The tape-and-reel packaging makes this terminal strip particularly suited for automated SMT assembly lines in consumer electronics, communications hardware, and IoT gateway products.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many signal positions does the TSM-126-03-TM-DH-A-K-TR support and how are they arranged?
The TSM-126-03-TM-DH-A-K-TR supports 52 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration with 26 pins per row and a standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. This industry-standard spacing provides broad compatibility with mating male headers and connectors, and allows up to 52 independent signal or power connections in a compact SMT footprint that is less than 2.6 inches long.
Which development board and expansion module designs benefit from TSM-126-03-TM-DH-A-K-TR?
Development boards, SBC (single-board computer) expansion headers, and PCIe mezzanine modules benefit most from this 52-position dual-row SMT terminal strip at 0.100" pitch. Its standard 2.54 mm grid matches GPIO expansion connectors on platforms like Raspberry Pi HATs, Arduino shields, and industrial PLC I/O modules, providing backward compatibility with decades of standardized 0.100" connector ecosystems while enabling modern SMT manufacturing.
What assembly advantages does the tape-and-reel format provide for TSM-126-03-TM-DH-A-K-TR in volume production?
Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging allows automated pick-and-place machines to place the TSM-126-03-TM-DH-A-K-TR at rates of hundreds of placements per hour with positional accuracy within ±0.05 mm. This format reduces manual handling errors and supports reel quantities of up to 500 pieces, making it cost-effective for production runs of 1000 or more boards. Reflow soldering compatibility eliminates the need for wave solder or manual assembly, reducing per-unit assembly cost by up to 40%.
Can TSM-126-03-TM-DH-A-K-TR be used as an alternative to through-hole dual-row headers in redesigned PCBs?
Yes, the TSM-126-03-TM-DH-A-K-TR can replace through-hole dual-row headers in PCB redesigns when migrating to surface-mount assembly. It maintains the same 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch and 52-position count, preserving signal routing compatibility. The SMT footprint reduces PCB drilling requirements and supports thinner board designs under 1.6 mm, while eliminating through-hole barrel plating costs—a key advantage when transitioning to high-density multilayer PCB processes.
