Frequently Asked Questions
What pitch and total contact count does TSM-134-04-F-DH-A-K-TR provide for board-to-board designs?
The TSM-134-04-F-DH-A-K-TR features a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch with 68 total positions in a dual-row layout. This contact count and row spacing accommodate high signal density applications including backplane interfaces, embedded computing boards, and modular control systems.
How does Tiger Eye contact technology benefit high-cycle connector applications in industrial systems?
Tiger Eye contacts provide a dual-wiping action that maintains reliable electrical connection over thousands of mating cycles with low insertion force. The gold mating contact finish further reduces contact resistance, making the connector suitable for industrial test equipment and instrumentation requiring repeated connections.
Which SMT assembly processes are compatible with the TSM-134-04-F-DH-A-K-TR terminal strip?
The TSM-134-04-F-DH-A-K-TR is designed for surface mount assembly and is compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment and reflow soldering at typical SMT reflow temperatures around 260°C peak. Its 68 positions and 0.100 inch pitch footprint can be handled by automated assembly lines in volume production.
When should a designer choose TSM-134-04-F-DH-A-K-TR over a lower-position-count SAMTEC terminal strip?
The 68-position count of TSM-134-04-F-DH-A-K-TR is appropriate when the design requires more than 50 signal lines on a single connector interface, such as in high-channel-count data acquisition, FPGA development boards, or multi-card backplane systems. Lower position options are used when pin count and board space can both be reduced.
