Key Features
- 27-position dual-row SMT terminal strip at 0.100 inch (2.54mm) pitch compatible with standard through-hole pin header footprints
- Shrouded (SH) housing provides polarization and physical protection against misalignment during mating, preventing connector damage in field use
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging for automated pick-and-place SMT assembly at high throughput rates in volume production
Applications
The TSM-127-05-T-SH-P-TR surface mount terminal strip is used in development boards, industrial I/O breakout modules, and signal distribution panels where a 27-position 0.100-inch pitch SMT header must accept standard 2.54mm female receptacle cables or ribbon connectors. Its shrouded housing prevents incorrect mating orientation in field-service environments, making it well suited for replaceable plug-in modules in test equipment racks and PLC expansion cards. The tape-and-reel packaging enables high-volume automated assembly on modern SMT production lines.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the shrouded (SH) housing on TSM-127-05-T-SH-P-TR provide versus an unshrouded header?
The shrouded housing adds a plastic wall around all 27 positions that physically prevents off-pitch or rotated mating, reducing field wiring errors by constraining the mating receptacle to a single correct orientation. This is especially important in industrial control panels and field-service equipment where technicians may work under time pressure, and the shroud adds roughly 3mm to 4mm of additional side clearance space requirement but eliminates costly miswiring damage.
How many positions and what pitch does TSM-127-05-T-SH-P-TR use, and is it compatible with standard ribbon cables?
The TSM-127-05-T-SH-P-TR has 27 positions in a dual-row layout at 0.100 inch (2.54mm) pitch per row. This standard 2.54mm pitch is fully compatible with IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) ribbon cables, common female 2x pin housings, and Dupont-style jumper wires, making it one of the most widely used pitches in embedded electronics and development hardware.
Which design scenarios call for SMT terminal strips like TSM-127-05-T-SH-P-TR over through-hole alternatives?
SMT terminal strips are preferred when double-sided PCB population is needed, overall board thickness must be minimized, or the design requires wave solder-free assembly with a single reflow pass. The TSM-127-05-T-SH-P-TR's SMT pads allow placement on the same reflow pass as other SMD components, eliminating a separate through-hole soldering step and reducing assembly cycle time by up to 30% on mixed-technology boards.
Does TSM-127-05-T-SH-P-TR support standard 0.100 inch pitch mating receptacle families from other manufacturers?
Yes, the 0.100 inch (2.54mm) pitch standard means the TSM-127-05-T-SH-P-TR mates with a wide range of female receptacles from Molex, TE Connectivity, JST, and other manufacturers, including standard 2x27 (54-pin) IDC connectors, Molex KK396, and generic Dupont female headers. The shroud opening is sized to 0.100-inch pitch dual-row female receptacles with pin posts in the 0.025 inch square cross-section range.
