Key Features
- 68-position dual-row surface mount terminal strip with 2.54 mm (.100 inch) pitch
- High-profile (H) dual-height (DH) contact configuration for elevated mating clearance above the PCB
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging supporting automated SMT pick-and-place assembly
- Keyed (K) housing option for polarized mating to prevent connector misalignment
- Surface mount termination compatible with standard SMT reflow processes
Applications
The TSM-134-02-H-DH-A-K-TR is used in high-density backplane systems, industrial embedded controllers, and multi-board computing assemblies where 68-position SMT connectivity at 2.54 mm pitch is required. The keyed housing and dual-height profile make it especially suitable for applications needing polarized mating and elevated connector clearance, such as mezzanine board interfaces and modular industrial I/O systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the keyed (K) housing of the TSM-134-02-H-DH-A-K-TR prevent mating errors in high-density assemblies?
The keyed housing incorporates a polarization feature that physically prevents incorrect connector orientation during mating. With 68 positions at 2.54 mm pitch arranged in a dual-row layout, accidental reversed insertion could damage all contacts, so the key ensures only the correct male header can engage, protecting signal integrity across all 68 pins.
What advantage does the high-profile dual-height (H-DH) contact offer compared to a standard-height terminal strip?
The high-profile dual-height designation provides additional mating height above the PCB surface, accommodating taller mating connectors or allowing component clearance beneath the connection. This is valuable in stacked PCB assemblies and backplane designs where standard 2.54 mm height clearances are insufficient for adjacent components or thermal management features.
When ordering the TSM-134-02-H-DH-A-K-TR for production, what tape-and-reel packaging parameters should SMT engineers confirm?
SMT engineers should confirm the reel quantity (typically 500 to 1000 pieces per reel), carrier tape pitch, and compatibility with their pick-and-place nozzle for the 68-position body size. The TR suffix guarantees tape-and-reel delivery, enabling automated feeder loading and reducing per-unit placement time in high-volume SMT assembly lines.
