Key Features
- 68-position 0.100" pitch single-row SMT terminal strip with keyed (K) polarization to prevent mismatched connections
- Fine-pitch (F) lead style with double-height (DH) body supports elevated daughter-card mating above 8.5 mm PCB clearance
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging with gold-plated contacts enables high-volume automated SMT assembly
Applications
The TSM-134-01-F-DH-A-K-TR suits computing backplanes, industrial I/O modules, and embedded systems needing 68 single-row surface-mount contacts at 0.100" pitch with reliable keyed polarization. Its double-height fine-pitch termination provides board clearance for stacked daughter cards and cable exits in compact enclosures. Tape-and-reel packaging enables high-throughput SMT assembly for medium-to-high production volumes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What distinguishes the fine-pitch (F) lead style on TSM-134-01-F-DH-A-K-TR from the standard lead style?
The fine-pitch (F) lead style on TSM-134-01-F-DH-A-K-TR uses narrower termination feet with tighter pad dimensions compared to the standard lead style, allowing smaller PCB land patterns while maintaining proper solder joint formation across all 68 positions at 0.100 inch pitch. This fine-pitch termination suits high-density PCB designs where pad pitch between adjacent connectors must be minimized to less than 2.54 mm center-to-center.
How does keyed polarization on TSM-134-01-F-DH-A-K-TR prevent damage in a 68-pin board-to-board connection?
Keyed polarization on TSM-134-01-F-DH-A-K-TR adds a physical asymmetry to the 68-position single-row connector body that physically blocks incorrect 180-degree rotated insertion, protecting against reverse-polarity conditions that could apply incorrect voltages — for example, 5V to ground pins — across sensitive logic or power rails. This mechanical key is especially important in field-replaceable module systems where operators may swap boards under power.
For an embedded computing backplane with 68-position connectors, how does TSM-134-01-F-DH-A-K-TR compare to TSM-134-04-L-DH-A-K-TR?
TSM-134-01-F-DH-A-K-TR uses a single-row layout placing all 68 contacts in one row at 0.100 inch pitch over approximately 3.4 inches, while TSM-134-04-L-DH-A-K-TR uses a double-row arrangement that fits the same 68 contacts into roughly 1.7 inches. Single-row layouts simplify signal routing with one straight line of pads, whereas double-row configurations save board edge length — the choice depends on available PCB perimeter versus routing complexity constraints.
What is the typical lead time and reel quantity for TSM-134-01-F-DH-A-K-TR procurement?
SAMTEC TSM series tape-and-reel connectors like TSM-134-01-F-DH-A-K-TR typically ship in reels of 500 pieces with a factory lead time of approximately 3 to 4 weeks for standard orders and shorter lead times from distributor stock. The 500-piece reel quantity supports SMT production runs using standard 12 mm tape-and-reel feeders, making it economical for batches of 100 to 500 assembled boards requiring one 68-position connector per board.
