What are the key features of TSM-135-05-FM-SH-A?

  • 70-position dual-row surface mount layout at 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch provides broad compatibility with standard 0.100 inch pitch mating connectors and cable assemblies
  • Shrouded housing (SH suffix) protects contacts from mechanical damage and ensures correct mating orientation, reducing mismate risk in field and production assembly
  • Horizontal single-row mating interface suits right-angle cable attachment along the PCB edge, minimizing vertical clearance requirements

What is TSM-135-05-FM-SH-A used for?

The TSM-135-05-FM-SH-A is well suited for industrial control boards, PLCs, and test fixtures requiring a 70-position 0.100 inch pitch surface mount connector with a polarized shrouded interface. Its horizontal orientation enables flat cable or ribbon cable attachment parallel to the PCB surface, ideal in rack-mounted systems with limited vertical space. Embedded computing and prototyping platforms use this connector family for expansion headers connecting daughter cards, sensor arrays, and I/O modules.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the shrouded housing on TSM-135-05-FM-SH-A prevent mismating in field-assembled industrial systems?

The shroud on the TSM-135-05-FM-SH-A physically guides the mating connector into correct alignment across all 70 positions at 0.100 inch pitch and blocks insertion at an offset or reversed orientation. This eliminates the risk of bending pins or making incorrect cross-connections in field assemblies where operators may not follow pin-1 markings, improving system reliability and reducing service calls.

For a 70-position ribbon cable attachment on a PCB with limited vertical clearance, why choose the horizontal TSM-135-05-FM-SH-A over a vertical connector?

The horizontal single-row mating interface of TSM-135-05-FM-SH-A routes cables parallel to the PCB surface, keeping the cable bundle below the height of adjacent tall components and allowing chassis lids to close over assemblies with clearances as low as 8 to 10 mm above the PCB. A vertical 70-position connector would add 12 mm or more of height above the board, preventing lid closure in low-profile enclosures.

How many independent signal lines does the TSM-135-05-FM-SH-A support, and how does its dual-row layout help organize them?

TSM-135-05-FM-SH-A provides 70 positions total in a dual-row arrangement at 0.100 inch pitch, offering 35 contacts per row across a body length of approximately 3.5 inches. Design engineers typically assign one row to signal lines and the other to ground or power returns, simplifying decoupling and crosstalk management compared to a single-row 70-position connector that would span 7.0 inches at the same pitch.
