Key Features
- 72-position dual-row SMT terminal strip at .100" (2.54 mm) pitch with stainless steel (SS) hardware for superior mechanical retention in harsh environments
- Kinked (K) SMT tails improve co-planarity across all 72 positions for consistent, void-free solder joints during reflow assembly
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables automated high-speed pick-and-place compatible with standard SMT production lines
Applications
The TSM-136-01-SS-DH-A-K-TR is designed for demanding industrial control systems, defense electronics, and ruggedized embedded computing where 72-pin dual-row SMT connectivity with stainless steel hardware is required. Its kinked tail and tape-and-reel format ensure reliable solder joints and efficient assembly throughput in high-volume production of harsh-environment boards.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do stainless steel mounting features improve the TSM-136-01-SS-DH-A-K-TR's suitability for harsh-environment designs?
Stainless steel (SS) hardware on TSM-136-01-SS-DH-A-K-TR provides higher corrosion resistance and mechanical pull-out strength than standard zinc or brass alternatives, critical for 72-pin connectors in industrial enclosures exposed to humidity or chemical splash. This prevents galvanic corrosion at the PCB attachment points and maintains connector integrity across a wide -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range.
What advantage do kinked SMT tails provide for TSM-136-01-SS-DH-A-K-TR over a straight-tail version in automated reflow?
Kinked tails on TSM-136-01-SS-DH-A-K-TR maintain consistent standoff height and co-planarity across all 72 SMT pads, reducing solder paste volume variation during screen printing. In high-volume reflow lines running at 2.54 mm pitch, this co-planarity improvement delivers first-pass yield improvements over 5% compared to straight-tail designs, minimizing rework on large-count terminal strips.
When should TSM-136-01-SS-DH-A-K-TR be selected over TSM-136-01-S-DH-A-K-TR for a ruggedized board design?
TSM-136-01-SS-DH-A-K-TR adds stainless steel mounting hardware versus the standard (S) variant, which uses conventional materials. Choose the SS version when the PCB operates in corrosive, high-humidity, or thermally cycled environments demanding extra mechanical durability at the 72-pin SMT retention points. Both variants share the same 2.54 mm pitch and kinked tail reflow footprint.
