Key Features
- 58-pin dual-row configuration on 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch provides high-density signal routing in a compact SMT footprint
- Surface-mount termination with horizontal orientation enables automated pick-and-place assembly and low-profile board stacking
- SAMTEC precision manufacturing delivers consistent contact resistance and mechanical retention across the full 29-position dual-row array
- Compatible with standard 0.100 inch pitch mating headers for broad connector ecosystem interchangeability
Applications
The TSM-129-02-TM-SH-A is used in backplane interconnect systems, daughtercard-to-motherboard interfaces, and embedded computing modules where high pin-count SMT connectors on a 2.54 mm grid are required. Its dual-row 29-position layout provides 58 contacts in a space-efficient footprint ideal for industrial control boards, test-and-measurement instruments, and FPGA evaluation platforms. The horizontal SMT profile also makes it well suited to mezzanine card assemblies requiring a low mated height above the host PCB.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions and rows does the TSM-129-02-TM-SH-A provide, and what is its pin pitch?
The TSM-129-02-TM-SH-A is a 29-position dual-row terminal strip, giving 58 contacts total on a standard 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch. This high pin count on a familiar grid makes it straightforward to route wide data buses or mixed signal and power rails across a PCB-to-board interface without additional connectors.
Does the TSM-129-02-TM-SH-A support surface-mount assembly, and how does its horizontal orientation affect PCB layout?
Yes, the TSM-129-02-TM-SH-A is a surface-mount part in a horizontal single-row SMT orientation, allowing standard automated pick-and-place and reflow soldering. The horizontal profile keeps mated height low, which is critical in stacked-board designs where vertical clearance between layers is limited to a few millimetres.
Which SAMTEC mating connectors are compatible with the TSM-129-02-TM-SH-A in a 0.100 inch pitch system?
The TSM-129-02-TM-SH-A mates with SAMTEC's standard 0.100 inch pitch dual-row header series including SSM and SSQ families, as well as third-party 2.54 mm pitch dual-row receptacles. Designers typically select a mating header with the same 29-position dual-row count to achieve a full 58-pin connection with rated contact normal force.
In what types of industrial or instrumentation systems is the TSM-129-02-TM-SH-A typically found?
The TSM-129-02-TM-SH-A appears in industrial PLC backplanes, FPGA evaluation boards, and test-and-measurement rack modules where 58 SMT-terminated contacts on a 2.54 mm pitch carry parallel data buses, GPIO banks, or mixed analog and digital signals. Its robust SMT footprint withstands the vibration levels found in factory automation environments.
