Key Features
- 68-position dual-row SMT terminal strip on 2.54 mm (.100") pitch enabling high-density PCB-to-board signal interconnects
- Top-load (TL) contact entry allows vertical wire or pin insertion from above, simplifying field wiring and rework without disassembling the board
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging supports automated pick-and-place assembly for consistent, high-throughput SMT production
Applications
The TSM-134-04-TL-DH-A-K-TR is suitable for high pin-count PCB interconnection in industrial controllers, embedded computing boards, and test fixture wiring where 68 signals need to be routed across two PCBs. The top-load contact style facilitates field wiring in panel-mounted equipment where vertical wire entry is more convenient than side-entry alternatives. Its tape-and-reel packaging integrates directly into automated SMT assembly lines for volume board manufacturing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions and rows does the TSM-134-04-TL-DH-A-K-TR provide, and on what pitch?
The TSM-134-04-TL-DH-A-K-TR provides 68 total positions in a dual-row arrangement with 34 contacts per row, all on a 2.54 mm (.100 inch) pitch. This configuration enables routing of 68 independent signals between mating connectors on adjacent PCBs in backplane, industrial I/O, and embedded computing module designs.
What advantage does the top-load (TL) contact style offer for field installation or rework compared to side-entry connectors?
The top-load contact style on TSM-134-04-TL-DH-A-K-TR allows wires or mating pins to be inserted vertically from above the connector body, which is beneficial in panel-mounted applications where lateral access is obstructed by adjacent components or enclosure walls. During field servicing, technicians can disconnect and re-engage 68-pin wiring harnesses without rotating or removing the PCB from the enclosure, reducing maintenance time significantly.
How does the TSM-134-04-TL-DH-A-K-TR compare to TSM-135-04-FM-DH-A-K-TR in pin count for applications needing 68 versus 70 signal connections?
The TSM-134-04-TL-DH-A-K-TR provides 68 positions (34 per row) on a 2.54 mm pitch, while TSM-135-04-FM-DH-A-K-TR offers 70 positions (35 per row) in a similar dual-row SMT format. For designs requiring exactly 68 signals, the TSM-134 variant provides the matching pin count without unused contacts, saving board footprint area of approximately 2 × 2.54 mm per removed position pair.
