Key Features
- 72-position single-row layout at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch provides extensive signal routing capacity in a single connector
- Horizontal (H) mounting orientation with dual-height (DH) body suits side-access or edge-mount PCB configurations
- Polarization (P) feature prevents incorrect mating to ensure error-free assembly in production environments
- Surface mount termination supports automated pick-and-place assembly with reflow soldering at up to 260°C
Applications
The TSM-136-01-H-DH-A-P-TR is designed for large backplane assemblies, edge-connector interfaces, and high-channel-count signal distribution boards requiring 72 positions at a standard 0.100" pitch. Its horizontal mounting orientation and dual-height body allow side-access mating in panel-mount or card-edge applications in industrial automation and communications infrastructure. Engineers specify this terminal strip in prototyping platforms, multi-board industrial systems, and test fixtures where a high-position-count polarized SMT header provides flexible and reliable interconnect capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many signal positions does TSM-136-01-H-DH-A-P-TR provide and what pitch spacing does it use?
The TSM-136-01-H-DH-A-P-TR offers 72 positions in a single-row configuration at a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. This gives the connector a total board edge length of approximately 7.1 inches (180 mm) when fully populated, making it one of the higher-position-count terminal strips in the SAMTEC TSM series and suited for backplane or edge-connector applications with large signal counts.
What does the horizontal (H) mounting orientation mean for the TSM-136-01-H-DH-A-P-TR in PCB layouts?
The horizontal (H) designation indicates the connector contacts exit parallel to the PCB surface, directing the mating interface toward the board edge rather than perpendicular to it. Combined with the dual-height (DH) body, this orientation is ideal for card-edge or side-access mating in enclosed equipment such as industrial rack-mount systems and communications chassis where connectors must mate horizontally between adjacent boards.
How does the polarization feature of TSM-136-01-H-DH-A-P-TR reduce assembly errors in production?
The polarization (P) feature physically restricts the connector to a single correct mating orientation, preventing reversed insertion across all 72 positions. In high-volume PCB assembly of backplanes and multi-board systems, this eliminates costly rework from reversed connections on boards operating at supply voltages of 3.3 V, 5 V, or 12 V, significantly reducing assembly defect rates and protecting sensitive signal circuitry.
When would a designer choose TSM-136-01-H-DH-A-P-TR over a lower-position-count alternative?
A designer selects TSM-136-01-H-DH-A-P-TR when 72 signal positions must be consolidated into a single 0.100" pitch connector rather than multiple smaller connectors. Consolidation reduces PCB connector count, simplifies cable harness routing, and lowers the probability of partial mating errors. This approach is common in industrial PLC backplanes, multi-axis motion controllers, and laboratory instruments requiring 64 or more simultaneous signal channels in one horizontally-oriented strip.
