Key Features
- 60-position dual-row SMT terminal strip on standard 2.54 mm (0.100") pitch for dense, high-pin-count board connectivity
- Stainless steel (SS) contact finish option provides enhanced corrosion resistance in harsh-environment or high-humidity applications
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging supports automated pick-and-place SMT assembly for high-volume manufacturing
Applications
The TSM-130-03-SS-DH-A-P-TR is deployed in high-density signal interconnect applications such as industrial control backplanes, data acquisition boards, and embedded computing modules where 60 contacts must be routed through a compact 2.54 mm pitch SMT footprint. Its stainless steel contact finish makes it especially suitable for systems operating in humid or corrosive environments, such as outdoor monitoring equipment and medical instrumentation. The tape-and-reel format ensures seamless integration into automated SMT production lines.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many contact positions does the TSM-130-03-SS-DH-A-P-TR provide and at what pitch?
The TSM-130-03-SS-DH-A-P-TR provides 60 contact positions in a dual-row arrangement, with each row containing 30 contacts spaced on a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch. This standard pitch ensures compatibility with the wide range of 0.100 inch mating connectors and receptacle strips in the SAMTEC TSW and SSW series.
What makes the stainless steel contact finish of the TSM-130-03-SS-DH-A-P-TR advantageous over gold-plated alternatives?
The stainless steel contact finish of the TSM-130-03-SS-DH-A-P-TR offers superior corrosion and oxidation resistance in high-humidity or mildly corrosive environments compared to standard tin-plated contacts. While gold plating provides lower initial contact resistance, the stainless steel finish maintains reliable electrical performance over thousands of mating cycles in industrial settings without the precious-metal cost premium.
What assembly process does the TSM-130-03-SS-DH-A-P-TR support and does it require special soldering precautions?
The TSM-130-03-SS-DH-A-P-TR is a surface-mount (SMT) connector supplied on tape and reel, compatible with standard reflow soldering at typical peak temperatures up to 260°C per IPC-7711 guidelines for SMT connectors. Designers should use the SAMTEC recommended footprint with proper solder paste volume for the 60-position dual-row SMT lands to ensure reliable solder joints on all 60 contacts without bridging.
In what types of systems is a 60-position dual-row SMT strip like the TSM-130-03-SS-DH-A-P-TR preferred over a through-hole header?
A 60-position SMT strip is preferred over a through-hole header in designs requiring reduced PCB thickness (no through-hole drilling), lower profile height, and automated assembly without wave soldering. At 2.54 mm pitch with 60 contacts, this part fits industrial control modules, FPGA daughter boards, and backplane edge connectors where 60 signal or power pins must be routed without occupying the vertical space required by through-hole barrel hardware.
