Key Features
- 62 positions in dual-row configuration at 2.54 mm (0.100") pitch for high-capacity SMT board-to-board signal connectivity
- Top-loaded (TL) contact orientation facilitates vertical cable or board mating in space-constrained PCB assemblies
- Tape-and-reel (-TR) packaging enables high-speed automated pick-and-place placement for cost-effective volume production
Applications
The TSM-131-02-TL-DH-A-P-TR is suited for high-density signal interconnect in backplane systems, mezzanine cards, and embedded computing modules requiring 62 simultaneous signal channels at standard 2.54 mm pitch. Its top-loaded contact style accommodates vertical mating connectors that engage perpendicular to the PCB surface, making it useful in stacked module and piggyback board designs. The tape-and-reel format integrates directly into automated SMT lines for efficient large-volume assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many signal channels can the TSM-131-02-TL-DH-A-P-TR accommodate, and what is the pin arrangement?
The TSM-131-02-TL-DH-A-P-TR has 62 positions arranged in 2 rows of 31 pins each, with a 2.54 mm (0.100") pitch. This configuration enables routing 62 individual signal channels in a single surface-mount connector, supporting applications such as wide data buses, parallel interfaces, or mixed signal and power distribution.
What does the top-loaded (TL) designation mean for the TSM-131-02-TL-DH-A-P-TR mating configuration?
The TL (top-loaded) designation indicates that the mating connector engages from above the PCB surface, perpendicular to the board plane. This vertical mating direction is well suited for stacked-board designs where a daughter card or cable assembly sits directly on top of the PCB, with the mating connector dropping down onto the 62-pin terminal strip to form the interconnect.
For a backplane design with 60 signal lines, how does the TSM-131-02-TL compare to using two smaller 32-pin connectors?
The TSM-131-02-TL-DH-A-P-TR consolidates 62 signal channels into a single connector body, avoiding the additional 2.54 mm inter-connector gap and two sets of end-cap structures that 2 separate 32-pin connectors would require. This reduces total connector footprint length by approximately 5 mm to 10 mm and eliminates one solder joint set, simplifying PCB layout and improving assembly yield in high-pin-count backplane designs.
Is the TSM-131-02-TL-DH-A-P-TR compatible with lead-free reflow soldering, and what temperatures does it withstand?
SAMTEC TSM series connectors are designed for lead-free reflow soldering compatibility, typically rated to withstand peak reflow temperatures of 260°C for a maximum of 30 seconds as specified by IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020. The surface-mount contacts are designed to survive standard lead-free solder paste profiles without contact deformation, making the part fully compatible with RoHS-compliant manufacturing processes.
