What are the key features of TSM-128-03-L-DH-A-K-TR?

  • 56-position dual-row SMT terminal strip at 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch for high pin density
  • Right-angle (L) orientation supports horizontal board-edge access and low-profile enclosure designs
  • Keying (K) feature provides polarized mating to prevent reverse connector insertion
  • Dual-row (DH) configuration gives 28 contacts per row for versatile signal routing
  • Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables automated pick-and-place SMT production

What is TSM-128-03-L-DH-A-K-TR used for?

The TSM-128-03-L-DH-A-K-TR is deployed in industrial control interfaces, multi-axis servo drive boards, and embedded computing backplanes that require right-angle 56-pin board edge connectors with polarized mating. Its keying and dual-row layout reduce wiring errors in high-mix assembly and field maintenance, making it reliable for rugged automation equipment and modular I/O expansion cards.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many positions does the TSM-128-03-L-DH-A-K-TR provide, and how are they arranged across rows?

The SAMTEC TSM-128-03-L-DH-A-K-TR is a 56-position connector with dual rows of 28 contacts each, spaced at 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch. This configuration supports a wide variety of signal, power, and ground assignments across 56 pins, suitable for complex embedded controller interfaces and industrial I/O boards.

What is the purpose of the keying option in the TSM-128-03-L-DH-A-K-TR and when is it critical to specify?

The keying (K) option on the TSM-128-03-L-DH-A-K-TR adds a physical polarization key that prevents the mating connector from being inserted in the wrong orientation. This is critical in 56-pin interfaces where accidental reverse insertion could cause power rail shorts or GPIO damage, particularly in field-serviceable industrial equipment with multiple connector types on the same PCB.

For a right-angle board-edge PCB layout, what height advantage does the TSM-128-03-L-DH-A-K-TR offer?

The right-angle (L) profile of the TSM-128-03-L-DH-A-K-TR orients the mating interface parallel to the PCB surface, keeping the above-board connector height typically under 8 mm. This is beneficial in panel-mount or rack-mounted applications where clearance is limited, and allows front-panel cable access without additional connector extensions or flex harnesses.

Is the TSM-128-03-L-DH-A-K-TR a good choice for servo drive or motor controller I/O expansion boards?

Yes. The 56-position dual-row design at 0.100 inch pitch provides enough pins to accommodate encoder feedback signals, PWM command lines, analog references, enable inputs, and fault outputs on a single 56-pin connector. Right-angle mounting and keying reduce assembly errors during maintenance, which is valuable in multi-axis servo drive cabinets requiring frequent board removal.
