What are the key features of TSM-129-02-FM-SH-A?
- 29-position dual-row layout on 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch provides 58 total contacts in a compact surface-mount footprint
- Shrouded horizontal (SH-A) housing prevents mis-mating and protects pins during PCB assembly and field use
- Surface-mount termination style (FM) supports automated pick-and-place and reflow soldering for high-volume production
- Standard 0.100-inch pitch is compatible with a wide range of mating SAMTEC TSW and SSW receptacle series
- RoHS-compliant construction meets global environmental directives for commercial and industrial applications
What is TSM-129-02-FM-SH-A used for?
The TSM-129-02-FM-SH-A is widely used in test and measurement equipment, development boards, and industrial control systems where a reliable 58-pin, 0.100-inch pitch board-to-board or board-to-wire interface is needed. Its shrouded horizontal profile suits panel-mount and backplane interconnect designs in embedded computing, FPGA evaluation platforms, and data acquisition hardware. The surface-mount footprint allows compact PCB layouts in communication modules, motor-drive controllers, and laboratory instrumentation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many total pins does the TSM-129-02-FM-SH-A provide and what pitch separates adjacent contacts?
The TSM-129-02-FM-SH-A has 29 positions in a dual-row configuration, yielding 58 total contacts on a standard 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch, which is directly compatible with the majority of 0.1-inch IDC cable assemblies, mating receptacles, and breadboard header patterns used in embedded and prototyping designs.
Which SAMTEC mating receptacle series are electrically and mechanically compatible with the TSM-129-02-FM-SH-A?
SAMTEC TSW and SSW series receptacles with 29-position, dual-row, 0.100-inch pitch (2.54 mm) profiles mate reliably with the TSM-129-02-FM-SH-A; current rating is typically 3A per pin at up to 250V AC/DC, and the shrouded housing on the TSM side provides polarized keying to prevent reversed insertion.
What are the reflow soldering requirements for mounting the TSM-129-02-FM-SH-A on a PCB?
As a surface-mount (FM) terminal strip, the TSM-129-02-FM-SH-A supports standard lead-free reflow soldering with a peak temperature of 260°C for up to 30 seconds, consistent with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 MSL requirements; the 0.100-inch pitch land pattern matches standard CAD library footprints for 58-pin dual-row SMD headers.
How does the shrouded housing (SH-A) of the TSM-129-02-FM-SH-A reduce assembly errors compared to unshrouded headers?
The SH-A shroud physically encloses the 58 pins, acting as a polarization guide that prevents cable connectors from being inserted sideways or offset by 2 pins during assembly or field maintenance, reducing the risk of 3A-rated contact damage or board failures in 58-signal designs such as FPGA debug headers and motor-drive I/O banks.
Can the TSM-129-02-FM-SH-A replace a through-hole header in a design transition to a surface-mount-only PCB process?
Yes. The FM (surface-mount) termination on the TSM-129-02-FM-SH-A replaces through-hole 0.100-inch headers with an identical 2.54 mm pitch footprint, allowing a straight substitution in PCB layout when moving to a fully SMD process; this eliminates wave-soldering steps and reduces board drilling costs for 58-contact connector positions.
