What are the key features of TSM-135-03-SM-SH-A?
- 35-position dual-row layout at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch for broad compatibility with standard IDC and box-header mating connectors
- Shrouded single-row horizontal SMT package (SH-A) provides polarized mating and protects contacts during handling
- Surface-mount technology footprint supports automated reflow assembly at standard solder peak temperatures up to 260°C
What is TSM-135-03-SM-SH-A used for?
The TSM-135-03-SM-SH-A is ideal for backplane and peripheral interface connections in embedded computing and industrial control systems where 35-position 2.54 mm pitch headers are required. Its shrouded horizontal surface-mount design simplifies board-level cable harness attachment in rack-mounted equipment and test fixtures. The connector is also widely used in data acquisition systems and HMI panels where a large number of I/O signals need to be routed to a single compact header.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many total contacts does the TSM-135-03-SM-SH-A provide, and at what pitch?
The TSM-135-03-SM-SH-A is a 35-position dual-row connector at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch, yielding 70 total contacts. The 2.54 mm standard pitch ensures broad compatibility with common IDC ribbon cables, box-header mating plugs, and discrete wire-to-board assemblies used throughout industrial and embedded electronics designs.
For a PCB layout requiring horizontal cable exit, how does the SH-A suffix benefit the TSM-135-03-SM-SH-A?
The SH-A suffix specifies a shrouded horizontal surface-mount orientation, meaning the mating port exits parallel to the PCB surface rather than perpendicular. This reduces connector height above the board to approximately 8 mm to 10 mm, enabling lower-profile enclosure designs and simplifying cable routing in panel-mount or rack-mount applications with limited vertical clearance.
When is the TSM-135-03-SM-SH-A preferable to a through-hole shrouded header in automated manufacturing?
The surface-mount SM package eliminates the need for wave soldering or hand-soldering operations required by through-hole alternatives, allowing the TSM-135-03-SM-SH-A to be placed and reflowed with all other SMT components in a single pass. This reduces cycle time and process complexity for boards with 70 or more signal connections, particularly in high-volume production runs where per-board assembly cost is critical.
What cable assemblies or mating connectors pair with the TSM-135-03-SM-SH-A?
The TSM-135-03-SM-SH-A mates with SAMTEC's TST or FTSH series dual-row female headers and standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch IDC ribbon cable connectors. Compatible ribbon cable widths for a 35-position dual-row interface are typically 70-conductor flat cables, supporting signal transfer at speeds up to several hundred MHz depending on cable length and signal integrity requirements.
