Frequently Asked Questions
What inter-board clearance does the tall-profile body of TSM-135-03-T-DH-A-K-TR provide compared to standard TSM connectors?
The -T (tall) body variant of TSM-135-03-T-DH-A-K-TR offers a body height typically 2 mm to 4 mm taller than standard TSM profiles, accommodating components over 5 mm in height on the lower board. This extra clearance is essential for designs where decoupling capacitors, inductors, or ICs in tall packages must fit between the two mated PCBs.
How many mated signal channels does TSM-135-03-T-DH-A-K-TR support and which connector families mate with it?
TSM-135-03-T-DH-A-K-TR provides 70 signal channels via its dual-row 2.54 mm (.100") pitch layout, and it mates with SAMTEC SSQ, SFM, and SFS series socket strips. The combination supports mated stack heights from approximately 11 mm to 17 mm, making it suitable for daughter cards and expansion modules in embedded computing.
When procuring TSM-135-03-T-DH-A-K-TR in high quantities, what packaging format is available and what lead time should buyers anticipate?
TSM-135-03-T-DH-A-K-TR ships in tape-and-reel format (-TR suffix), typically packaged at 500 or 1000 units per reel depending on body size. SAMTEC generally maintains factory lead times of 1 to 2 weeks for standard catalog items. Buyers planning production runs exceeding 10,000 units should confirm availability or arrange blanket orders to avoid supply gaps.
