What are the key features of TSM-131-03-STL-DH-A-K-TR?

  • 62-position dual-row .100" (2.54mm) pitch angled SMT terminal strip for right-angle board connections
  • STL low-profile polarized DH housing with keyed (K) retention for secure mating alignment
  • Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables high-volume automated SMT pick-and-place manufacturing

What is TSM-131-03-STL-DH-A-K-TR used for?

The TSM-131-03-STL-DH-A-K-TR is ideal for right-angle PCB-to-PCB connections in edge-mounted backplane systems, embedded controller racks, and instrumentation panels where board space or enclosure geometry requires angled connector orientation. Its 62-position dual-row layout at .100" pitch provides substantial channel capacity for mixed signal and power distribution in industrial and communication hardware. The keyed polarized housing ensures reliable field assembly and prevents incorrect mating in densely populated boards.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the angled (A) orientation mean for TSM-131-03-STL-DH-A-K-TR in a backplane system?

The A (angled/right-angle) configuration means the connector contacts exit at 90 degrees to the PCB mounting plane. For a 62-position .100" terminal strip in a backplane system, this allows mating connectors to plug in parallel to the PCB surface, enabling horizontal board stacking with typical entry heights of 8 mm to 12 mm.

What retention mechanism does the K suffix provide in TSM-131-03-STL-DH-A-K-TR?

The K suffix indicates a keyed housing feature that adds a polarization key or mechanical retention to the 62-position connector body. This prevents incorrect insertion orientation and provides additional locking force beyond standard contact friction, which is particularly valuable in vibration-prone industrial environments where connector separation could interrupt signals.

Is TSM-131-03-STL-DH-A-K-TR a cost-effective alternative to board-to-wire harnesses for 60+ channel connections?

Yes, for designs requiring 62 signal connections, TSM-131-03-STL-DH-A-K-TR eliminates individual wire termination costs by providing all 62 positions in a single .100" pitch SMT connector. At tape-and-reel (TR) quantities, per-position costs drop significantly versus board-to-wire harnesses, and SMT reflow soldering at 260°C replaces hand-wiring labor.
