What are the key features of TSM-135-03-S-SH-A?
- 35-position single-row layout at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch compatible with standard wire-to-board and IDC cable assemblies
- Shrouded horizontal SMT (SH-A) design enforces correct mating orientation and protects contacts from accidental damage during assembly
- Surface-mount technology package enables automated pick-and-place reflow assembly at peak solder temperatures up to 260°C
What is TSM-135-03-S-SH-A used for?
The TSM-135-03-S-SH-A is used in embedded computing, industrial controllers, and test equipment requiring a 35-position shrouded header for secure cable harness attachment at 2.54 mm pitch. Its horizontal SMT orientation keeps the mating cable parallel to the board surface, reducing vertical clearance requirements in low-profile enclosures and panel-mount designs. The single-row shrouded format also makes it popular for JTAG, SPI, and GPIO expansion interfaces on development boards where ribbon cable connections are frequently inserted and removed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many contacts does the TSM-135-03-S-SH-A provide, and what is the connector pitch?
The TSM-135-03-S-SH-A provides 35 contacts in a single-row configuration at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. This standard pitch is compatible with the widest range of IDC ribbon cables and crimp-style wire-to-board connectors, making it a versatile choice for signal counts up to 35 per connector on embedded or industrial PCB designs.
How does the single-row layout of TSM-135-03-S-SH-A differ from a dual-row header at the same pitch, and when is it preferred?
A single-row 35-position header at 2.54 mm pitch spans approximately 88.9 mm in length compared to a dual-row 18-position header covering the same contact count in about 45 mm. The TSM-135-03-S-SH-A single-row format is preferred when board edge space is available along one axis and the application uses flat ribbon cables keyed for single-row IDC connectors, such as 35-conductor cables in legacy parallel bus or GPIO expansion wiring.
What protection does the shrouded housing of the TSM-135-03-S-SH-A provide in field-service environments?
The shroud surrounding the 35 contacts on the TSM-135-03-S-SH-A physically guides the mating plug into correct alignment, preventing bent pins caused by off-angle insertion in field-service or repeated connect/disconnect scenarios. The shroud typically adds 2 mm to 3 mm of plastic wall height above the contact tips, protecting against mechanical damage during maintenance operations and reducing field failure rates in equipment serviced without ESD precautions.
Can the TSM-135-03-S-SH-A be used as a lower-profile alternative to the TSM-135-03-SM-SH-A?
Both the TSM-135-03-S-SH-A and TSM-135-03-SM-SH-A share the same 35-position shrouded horizontal design at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch; the difference lies in the contact tail style where S denotes a standard SMT foot versus SM indicating a different compliant pin or tail variant. Engineers should verify the PCB pad layout and footprint dimensions—typically a 2.54 mm x 2.54 mm grid—before substituting one variant for the other to confirm soldering compatibility.
