Frequently Asked Questions
What is the position count and pitch of the TSM-131-03-SS-DH-A-P-TR and how does this affect connector length on a PCB?
The TSM-131-03-SS-DH-A-P-TR provides 62 positions at a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch in a single-row layout. At this pitch, the connector spans approximately 156.2 mm of PCB edge length, making it one of the longer single-row terminal strips suitable for backplane signal routing or I/O expansion headers in rack-mounted industrial equipment.
How do double-height contacts in the TSM-131-03-SS-DH-A-P-TR differ from standard-height contacts?
The double-height (DH) contact design increases the pin length above the PCB surface compared to standard-height variants, providing greater insertion depth when mated with a corresponding cable housing. This extended contact engagement improves mechanical retention and reduces the risk of partial disconnection under vibration or shock, which is particularly valuable in industrial automation and transportation applications where vibration can exceed 5 g.
What packaging does the TSM-131-03-SS-DH-A-P-TR use and why does it matter for automated SMT lines?
The TSM-131-03-SS-DH-A-P-TR is packaged on tape and reel (TR suffix), which is the preferred format for automated pick-and-place equipment on surface mount assembly lines. Tape-and-reel packaging ensures each 62-position connector is consistently oriented and fed to the placement head, reducing handling errors and enabling high-throughput production rates of hundreds of boards per hour.
In which types of signal applications is the TSM-131-03-SS-DH-A-P-TR a good connector choice?
The TSM-131-03-SS-DH-A-P-TR is well matched to low-frequency digital signal connections at 2.54 mm pitch, such as GPIO header interfaces, parallel bus connections, and ribbon cable terminators carrying signals up to tens of MHz. With 62 positions, it can accommodate parallel data buses of up to 62 bits, making it useful for FPGA evaluation boards, PLC I/O expansion modules, and industrial sensor interface cards.
