Key Features
- 35-position single-row layout on 0.100" (2.54 mm) standard pitch ensures broad mating compatibility with IDC ribbon cable assemblies and mating headers
- Tall (STL) body style accommodates boards with taller components nearby, providing clearance for dense mixed-height PCB layouts
- Solder-in shield (SH) adds mechanical reinforcement and EMI attenuation across all 35 signal positions for sensitive analog or mixed-signal applications
Applications
The TSM-135-03-STL-SH-A is suited for industrial I/O expansion boards, embedded single-board computers, and test and measurement instruments that require 35-pin horizontal SMT connectivity with added vertical clearance. The tall body style provides the necessary standoff height for PCB assemblies featuring nearby tall components such as capacitors or heat sinks, while the solder-in shield improves pull-strength and EMI performance. It is also a practical choice for panel-edge signal headers in control enclosures where standard-height connectors would conflict with neighboring board features.

Frequently Asked Questions
What body height variant does the TSM-135-03-STL-SH-A use, and why does it matter for densely populated PCBs?
The TSM-135-03-STL-SH-A uses the tall (STL) body style, which adds extra clearance above the PCB surface compared to a standard-height TSM series strip. This extra height, combined with the 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch across 35 positions, is critical when neighboring tall components such as electrolytic capacitors or heat sinks would otherwise collide with a standard-height connector body during PCB assembly or cable routing.
In what way does the solder-in shield on the TSM-135-03-STL-SH-A benefit a 35-pin SMT signal header compared to an unshielded version?
The solder-in shield increases the mechanical pull-out strength of the SMT pads for all 35 positions while simultaneously providing a ground plane around the connector body that attenuates EMI coupling into adjacent signal traces. Mixed-signal boards running analog inputs alongside 3.3 V or 5 V digital lines particularly benefit from this shielding, as it reduces radiated noise pickup that can corrupt sensor readings or communication data.
How does the TSM-135-03-STL-SH-A differ from the TSM-135-01-SM-SH-A when selecting between these two 35-position SMT strips?
The TSM-135-03-STL-SH-A uses a taller (STL) body compared to the shorter standard-height body on the TSM-135-01-SM-SH-A, making it the right choice when the adjacent PCB component landscape demands at least a few additional millimeters of vertical clearance above the board. Both parts share the same 35-position count and 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch with a solder-in shield, so the selection between them comes down purely to the available height budget in the enclosure or PCB assembly stack.
