What are the key features of TSM-131-03-STL-SH-A?

  • 31-position dual-row layout on 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch for dense board-level connectivity
  • Shrouded (STL) housing provides guided mating and protects 62 contacts from mis-insertion damage
  • Surface mount horizontal (SH) lead form enables low-profile, reflow-compatible PCB integration
  • RoHS-compliant construction supports lead-free soldering in environmentally regulated assemblies

What is TSM-131-03-STL-SH-A used for?

The TSM-131-03-STL-SH-A is well-suited for board-to-board and wire-to-board interconnect applications in industrial automation, test and measurement equipment, and embedded computing platforms. Its 2.54 mm pitch and shrouded design make it ideal for backplane systems, development boards, and modular assemblies requiring secure, repeatable mating. Engineers also deploy these strips in communications hardware and prototyping environments where surface-mount assembly and compact form factors are priorities.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the contact count and configuration of the TSM-131-03-STL-SH-A?

The TSM-131-03-STL-SH-A is a dual-row connector with 31 pins per row, giving 62 total contacts on a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch. The shrouded housing polarizes mating to protect against reverse insertion and mechanical damage during assembly.

Which PCB assembly environments are best served by the TSM-131-03-STL-SH-A horizontal surface mount design?

The horizontal surface mount termination style makes the TSM-131-03-STL-SH-A ideal for compact embedded systems, industrial control boards, and development kits where reflow soldering of 62 contacts across 31 pins per row on a standard 0.100 inch grid is preferred over through-hole assembly.

How does the TSM-131-03-STL-SH-A compare to through-hole dual-row headers for PCB fabrication complexity?

Unlike through-hole headers that require drilling 62 holes across 31 pins per row at 2.54 mm pitch, the TSM-131-03-STL-SH-A surface mount pads eliminate through-hole drilling, allow double-sided component placement, and reduce assembly cost in high-volume automated reflow production runs.
