Key Features
- 35-position dual-row SMT terminal strip at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch covering up to 35 signal circuits in a single compact connector
- Top-loading shrouded housing (-TL-SH) allows vertical cable plug insertion from above, ideal for backplane and rack-mounted board designs
- Tape-and-reel (-TR) packaging enables fully automated SMT pick-and-place assembly, reducing per-unit placement time versus bulk packaging
Applications
TSM-135-05-TL-SH-P-TR is suited for surface-mount board-to-cable interfaces in industrial backplane systems, embedded computing racks, and measurement instruments requiring 35-circuit connectivity at standard 2.54 mm pitch. The top-loading shrouded housing allows cable assemblies to be plugged and unplugged from above the PCB without lateral access, simplifying serviceability in densely populated board cage assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many signal circuits does TSM-135-05-TL-SH-P-TR support, and what is the contact pitch?
TSM-135-05-TL-SH-P-TR supports 35 signal circuits in a dual-row arrangement at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. This standard 2.54 mm pitch accommodates discrete wire cable assemblies and 70-conductor ribbon cables, providing broad sourcing flexibility. The 35-position count makes it well suited for parallel data buses, mixed signal control harnesses, and I/O expansion interfaces where 24 to 40 circuits are required.
What does the top-loading (-TL) designation mean for PCB installation and cable plug direction on TSM-135-05-TL-SH-P-TR?
The top-loading (-TL) designation means the mating cable connector inserts vertically downward into the shrouded housing from the top of the PCB, rather than from the side. This orientation is essential in rack or backplane assemblies where lateral connector access is blocked, allowing 35-circuit cable harnesses to be connected and disconnected with vertical clearance of at least 10 mm above the board surface.
Could TSM-135-05-TL-SH-P-TR replace a 35-position DIN connector on an industrial control board upgrading to SMT assembly?
TSM-135-05-TL-SH-P-TR can replace legacy 35-position through-hole DIN connectors when transitioning to SMT manufacturing, provided the cable side is re-terminated to a matching 0.100" pitch 35-position top-loading plug. The surface-mount footprint at 2.54 mm pitch eliminates 70 drill holes from the PCB, reduces board fabrication cost, and maintains electrical compatibility with existing 35-circuit cable harnesses carrying up to 1 A per contact.
