Key Features
- 26-position dual-row SMD terminal strip at industry-standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch for broad compatibility
- Shrouded housing providing contact protection and polarized mating to prevent incorrect connector orientation
- Single-row vertical profile enabling low-profile SMD assembly with tape-and-reel (-TR) production packaging
- SAMTEC TSM series reliability supporting signal and power routing in industrial, computing, and consumer PCB designs
Applications
The TSM-126-05-TM-SH-P-TR is suitable for general-purpose board-to-cable and board-to-board signal interconnects in industrial control panels, embedded microcontroller modules, and consumer electronics where 26 contacts at 0.100" pitch with SMD mounting are required. Its shrouded housing prevents mis-mating in high-assembly-volume environments, making it appropriate for automation equipment, PLC expansion boards, and evaluation kits. The tape-and-reel packaging supports high-throughput automated PCB assembly lines for cost-efficient production of shrouded 26-pin connector interfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pitch and position count does the SAMTEC TSM-126-05-TM-SH-P-TR terminal strip offer?
The TSM-126-05-TM-SH-P-TR is a 26-position dual-row terminal strip with a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch, the most common standard spacing in through-hole and SMD connector families. This industry-standard pitch ensures broad mating connector availability and compatibility with a wide range of cable assemblies and board-to-board interconnect solutions in industrial and embedded computing applications.
How does the shrouded housing of the TSM-126-05-TM-SH-P-TR improve assembly reliability versus unshrouded headers?
The shrouded housing of the TSM-126-05-TM-SH-P-TR physically encloses the 26 pins and provides a keyed cavity that guides the mating connector into the correct orientation. This prevents reversed or offset mating that could damage contacts or cause circuit faults during board assembly or field maintenance, reducing rework rates significantly on production lines handling large volumes of 26-position connectors.
Is the TSM-126-05-TM-SH-P-TR appropriate for automated SMD pick-and-place production lines?
Yes, the -TR suffix designates tape-and-reel packaging, making the TSM-126-05-TM-SH-P-TR directly compatible with automated SMD pick-and-place machines. The surface-mount footprint allows reflow soldering of the 26-position shrouded connector in standard production flows without manual insertion steps, reducing assembly cost and improving solder joint consistency on industrial and consumer PCBs.
When would an engineer choose TSM-126-05-TM-SH-P-TR over a 0.050" pitch connector for a 26-signal interface?
The 0.100" pitch of the TSM-126-05-TM-SH-P-TR is preferred when cable harnesses, IDC ribbon cables, or mating connectors already use the standard 2.54 mm grid, as this avoids custom cable tooling costs. For designs where PCB space is not critically constrained and the 26-position interface connects to standard-pitch cables or accessories, the 0.100" shrouded terminal strip offers lower-cost mating hardware compared to fine-pitch 0.050" solutions.
