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

  • 35-position single-row horizontal SMT layout on 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch for right-angle high-signal-count board-edge connections
  • Shrouded housing with polarizing key prevents mis-mating across all 35 positions in field-wired industrial and instrumentation systems
  • Surface-mount termination eliminates 35 through-hole vias, preserving inner-layer routing on multilayer PCB stackups

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

The TSM-135-05-TL-SH-A is suited for industrial automation panels, programmable logic controllers, and data-acquisition boards requiring 35-signal wire-to-board connections accessible at the board edge. The single-row horizontal SMT orientation allows signals to exit the board at a right angle, enabling direct panel or enclosure access without additional cable bends. Its shrouded housing prevents incorrect cable insertion in field-service environments, improving reliability in process control systems with frequent harness disconnections.

Frequently Asked Questions

What signal capacity and pitch standard does TSM-135-05-TL-SH-A support for wire-to-board harness connections?

The TSM-135-05-TL-SH-A supports 35 signals on the industry-standard 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch, making it directly compatible with widely available 0.100 inch pitch crimp housings and pre-terminated cable assemblies. This compatibility reduces sourcing complexity and allows engineers to use standard off-the-shelf cable assemblies from multiple connector suppliers.

For a 35-signal industrial harness that will be connected and disconnected hundreds of times in service, how does the shrouded housing of TSM-135-05-TL-SH-A reduce maintenance errors?

The shroud encloses all 35 contacts on the 0.100 inch pitch row and includes a polarizing key that mechanically blocks reversed insertion, ensuring the cable is always connected in the correct orientation even in low-visibility or high-vibration industrial environments. This is especially important in motor drive and PLC wiring where reversed polarity on any of the 35 pins could damage output modules or connected sensors.

What PCB fabrication advantage does the surface-mount footprint of TSM-135-05-TL-SH-A provide over a through-hole right-angle header with the same 35 positions?

Replacing a 35-position through-hole header with the TSM-135-05-TL-SH-A eliminates 35 plated through-hole vias, freeing those via locations for inner-layer signal routing on 6-layer or higher PCB stackups and reducing overall board fabrication cost by avoiding extra drilling and plating steps. SMT placement also consolidates the connector into the standard reflow soldering pass, removing a separate wave-solder or hand-solder operation from the assembly flow.
