Key Features
- 66-position single-row surface mount strip on 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch for high-density signal routing on standard PCB grids
- Key polarization (K) blocks reversed mating orientation to prevent connector assembly errors across all 66 positions
- Dual-height (DH) body and tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enable automated SMT assembly with inter-board clearance flexibility
Applications
The TSM-133-01-F-DH-A-K-TR is used in high-channel-count embedded processor boards, FPGA carrier cards, and industrial backplane systems where 66 signals must be connected through a surface mount terminal strip on a 0.100" grid. Its key polarization feature makes it well-suited for production environments where assembly technicians or automated equipment must insert connector interfaces reliably without the possibility of reversed polarity, such as in multi-slot industrial controllers or ruggedized computing systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions and what pitch does TSM-133-01-F-DH-A-K-TR provide for PCB signal interconnect?
TSM-133-01-F-DH-A-K-TR provides 66 positions arranged in a single row on a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, making it one of the higher contact-count options in the SAMTEC TSM surface mount terminal strip series. The 66-position count is suited for processor breakout boards, FPGA I/O expansion headers, and high-channel signal distribution systems that need more than 54 contacts but in a single-row 2.54mm layout.
How does the key polarization (K) feature on TSM-133-01-F-DH-A-K-TR protect circuits during assembly and maintenance?
The K polarization key on TSM-133-01-F-DH-A-K-TR physically blocks incorrect mating by occupying one pin position with a blocker that cannot engage the mating connector in the reversed orientation. For a 66-position connector where reversed insertion would cross all 66 signals, the polarization key prevents potential damage to FPGAs, processors, or power circuits connected through the terminal strip, making it mandatory for production and field-service environments with high re-insertion frequency.
In what type of backplane or stacked board design is TSM-133-01-F-DH-A-K-TR most useful?
TSM-133-01-F-DH-A-K-TR is most useful in passive backplane systems or stacked carrier-module assemblies where a single 66-position connector must carry a 32-bit data bus, address lines, and control signals over a 0.100" (2.54mm) grid. The dual-height body also provides additional vertical clearance for stacked board assemblies where inter-board spacing of 8mm or more must accommodate components populated on the underside of the mating board.
How does TSM-133-01-F-DH-A-K-TR differ from TSM-133-03-FM-DH-A-K-TR with the same 66-position count?
Both TSM-133-01-F-DH-A-K-TR and TSM-133-03-FM-DH-A-K-TR provide 66 positions on a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch with dual-height body and key polarization, but differ in row count and contact configuration encoded in the part number suffix. The -01 variant is a single-row arrangement while -03 indicates a triple-row or specific contact style variant, meaning the PCB footprint, connector length, and total mated height differ—requiring selection based on the target PCB layout row spacing and available board area.
