Key Features
- 28-position dual-row layout with 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch providing high pin density in a surface mount footprint
- Single-row horizontal (SH-A) orientation enabling low-profile board edge or right-angle mounting configurations
- Surface mount technology (SMT) construction compatible with automated reflow soldering and pick-and-place assembly
- SAMTEC high-reliability contact construction ensuring consistent electrical performance across multiple mating cycles
Applications
The TSM-128-05-SS-SH-A is designed for applications requiring a high pin count, compact surface mount interconnect with 0.100" spacing, such as backplane interfaces, processor expansion boards, and modular embedded computing platforms. Its 28-position dual-row configuration supports dense signal routing in industrial automation, test and measurement systems, and communication hardware. The horizontal mounting orientation allows for flush or near-edge connector placement in space-constrained PCB designs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions and rows does the TSM-128-05-SS-SH-A provide, and what is its contact pitch?
The TSM-128-05-SS-SH-A is a 28-position, dual-row connector with a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. This high pin count combined with standard 2.54 mm spacing makes it suitable for connecting multiple signal and power lines in compact surface mount board designs.
What does the SH-A suffix mean on the TSM-128-05-SS-SH-A, and how does the mounting orientation affect PCB layout?
The SH-A suffix designates a single-row horizontal mounting orientation. This right-angle or horizontal configuration positions the mating direction parallel to the PCB surface, allowing the connector to mate from the board edge — useful in stackable module designs and panel-mount systems where vertical clearance is limited.
In which high-density PCB applications is the TSM-128-05-SS-SH-A most commonly used?
The TSM-128-05-SS-SH-A is used in backplane and mezzanine card systems, industrial I/O expansion modules, embedded processor boards, and test fixture interconnects where 28 contacts at 0.100" pitch are needed in an SMT footprint. Its dual-row layout maximizes signal density without increasing connector footprint length.
Is the TSM-128-05-SS-SH-A compatible with automated SMT assembly processes?
Yes, the TSM-128-05-SS-SH-A is a surface mount connector designed to be compatible with standard reflow soldering processes and pick-and-place equipment. Its SMT termination style and defined 0.100" pitch footprint allow straightforward integration into automated PCB assembly lines for medium to high volume production.
