Key Features
- 29-position dual-row terminal strip with 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch in a horizontal right-angle SMT profile for low-profile edge connector designs
- Surface-mount right-angle termination allows PCB-edge signal access without through-hole vias, simplifying panel-mount and card-edge assembly
- Samtec TSM series construction with copper alloy contacts for reliable mating with SFM or SMS series dual-row socket strips across multiple insertion cycles
Applications
The TSM-129-04-S-SH-A is suited for low-profile PCB edge-connector applications in industrial control modules, embedded computing cards, and panel-mount instrumentation where horizontal board access is required. Its 29-position dual-row layout provides 58 contacts in a compact 2.54 mm pitch footprint, ideal for carrier boards and backplane edge interfaces. The right-angle SMT style allows card-edge signal access with the connector body lying parallel to the PCB surface, minimizing height above the board.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many pins does the TSM-129-04-S-SH-A provide and in what orientation?
The TSM-129-04-S-SH-A provides 29 positions in a dual-row right-angle surface-mount configuration, giving 58 total contacts at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. The horizontal orientation places the connector parallel to the PCB surface, enabling card-edge access in chassis-mounted or panel-mount enclosures with limited vertical clearance.
What assembly process is compatible with the TSM-129-04-S-SH-A?
The TSM-129-04-S-SH-A uses surface-mount termination and is compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles peaking at 260°C. No through-hole drilling is required, and the right-angle SMT body can be placed by automated pick-and-place equipment, reducing assembly cost for high-volume production of industrial or computing PCBs.
Which socket connectors mate with the TSM-129-04-S-SH-A?
The TSM-129-04-S-SH-A mates with Samtec SFM and SMS series dual-row socket strips at the same 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. Using a matched Samtec SFM-129 female socket ensures proper contact mating across all 58 positions, maintaining rated current capacity and low contact resistance across multiple mating cycles.
In a carrier board design needing 29 signals routed to a daughter module, how does the TSM-129-04-S-SH-A help?
For a 29-signal carrier-to-daughter connection, the TSM-129-04-S-SH-A accommodates all signals in a single dual-row 2.54 mm pitch horizontal connector, avoiding the need for multiple smaller connectors. The right-angle SMT footprint aligns with the PCB edge, allowing the mating socket to plug in from the side of the board and facilitating hot-swap module access in open-frame industrial rack assemblies.
