Key Features
- 68 total contacts (34 positions, dual-row) on 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch in a shrouded SMT housing, combining high pin count with polarization keying for error-free assembly
- Shrouded (SH) housing physically guides and retains the mating connector, preventing mis-insertion and providing strain relief in vibration-prone environments
- Tape-and-reel (TR) format supports automated pick-and-place SMT assembly, reducing placement time versus tube or tray packaging in medium and high-volume production
Applications
The TSM-134-05-SM-SH-P-TR is well-suited for industrial control systems, embedded single-board computers, and data acquisition boards that require a polarized 68-pin interface on a 0.100 inch SMT grid. The shrouded housing guides ribbon-cable IDC connectors or equivalent mating headers into correct orientation, reducing field wiring errors in panel-mounted equipment. Its tape-and-reel packaging integrates directly into automated PCB assembly lines, making it suitable for production volumes where manual connector placement is not cost-effective.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the shrouded housing (SH suffix) on the TSM-134-05-SM-SH-P-TR reduce assembly errors compared to an unshrouded 0.100 inch pin header?
The shroud encloses all 68 pins and provides a polarized key that allows the mating connector to seat in only one correct orientation. On an unshrouded 0.100 inch header, a 2x34 ribbon cable IDC connector can accidentally be placed rotated 180 degrees, connecting pin 1 to pin 68. The TSM-134-05-SM-SH-P-TR's shroud makes this mis-insertion physically impossible, a critical safeguard in field-serviceable or frequently reconfigured industrial panel wiring.
For a 34-position dual-row interface, what is the row length of the TSM-134-05-SM-SH-P-TR on a 0.100 inch pitch, and how does this align with standard ribbon cable widths?
At 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch with 34 positions per row, the connector row length is approximately 86.4 mm. Standard 68-conductor ribbon cable on 0.050 inch conductor spacing has the same 34-position dual-row footprint, meaning the TSM-134-05-SM-SH-P-TR directly terminates a 68-wire ribbon cable with a standard 2x34 IDC mating connector without any adapter or pitch conversion.
Is the TSM-134-05-SM-SH-P-TR compatible with standard reflow soldering, and what does the SM suffix indicate about its PCB termination style?
Yes, the SM (surface-mount) suffix confirms the TSM-134-05-SM-SH-P-TR is designed for reflow soldering on a standard SMT pad pattern, with no through-hole pins. The SMT termination style eliminates the need for PCB via drilling at the connector footprint, reducing fabrication cost. Standard reflow profiles with a peak temperature up to 260°C for 30 seconds per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 are applicable, and the tape-and-reel packaging supports automated placement before reflow.
