Key Features
- 68-position dual-row layout with 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch delivers 34 contacts per row for high-density PCB interconnect
- Stainless steel (STL) contacts provide superior corrosion resistance and mechanical durability over standard brass contacts
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables seamless integration into automated SMT pick-and-place assembly lines
Applications
The TSM-134-04-STL-DH-A-K-TR is used in backplane interconnect systems, industrial control modules, and rack-mounted telecom equipment requiring dense dual-row signal connections. Its 68-position configuration accommodates wide parallel buses and mixed signal/power routing on compact PCBs. The stainless steel contact variant is preferred in environments with humidity or mild chemical exposure where corrosion resistance is critical.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the TSM-134-04-STL-DH-A-K-TR have, and how are they arranged across rows?
The TSM-134-04-STL-DH-A-K-TR has 68 positions arranged in 2 rows with 34 contacts per row at a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. This dual-row layout provides high connection density for parallel data buses and mixed-signal routing on compact PCBs in industrial or telecom applications.
What advantage does the STL (stainless steel) contact variant of TSM-134-04-STL-DH-A-K-TR offer over standard contact materials?
The stainless steel (STL) contacts in TSM-134-04-STL-DH-A-K-TR offer superior resistance to oxidation and corrosion compared to standard brass or phosphor bronze alternatives. This makes the connector suitable for industrial environments with elevated humidity or mild chemical exposure, where maintaining reliable contact resistance over the connector's rated mating cycles is critical.
Can the TSM-134-04-STL-DH-A-K-TR be used in backplane systems, and what bus widths does its 68-position count support?
Yes, the TSM-134-04-STL-DH-A-K-TR is well-suited for backplane systems. Its 68 positions can accommodate a 64-bit wide data bus plus 4 control or power lines, or two independent 32-bit buses plus management signals. The 0.100" pitch dual-row format is widely used in backplane and mezzanine card interconnects in industrial and telecom rack-mount equipment.
What reel size and packaging format does TSM-134-04-STL-DH-A-K-TR use for volume assembly orders?
The TSM-134-04-STL-DH-A-K-TR uses tape-and-reel (TR) packaging, which enables automated SMT pick-and-place assembly without manual loading. This format supports high-volume production runs by providing consistent part orientation and spacing compatible with standard 12 mm or wider SMT feeders, reducing placement cycle time for this 68-position dual-row connector.
