Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does TSM-136-01-TL-DH-A-K-TR offer and what row arrangement does it use?
TSM-136-01-TL-DH-A-K-TR provides 72 positions in a dual-row arrangement on a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch, making it one of the higher pin-count SMT terminal strips in SAMTEC's TSM series for dense backplane and daughter-card applications.
What manufacturing advantages does the tape-and-reel format of TSM-136-01-TL-DH-A-K-TR offer production engineers?
Tape and reel (TR) packaging allows continuous feeder loading on standard SMT pick-and-place machines, reducing downtime for 72-pin connector placement and supporting high-volume reflow assembly at up to 260°C without manual loading.
How do gold-plated contacts in TSM-136-01-TL-DH-A-K-TR compare to tin-plated alternatives for industrial environments?
Gold plating over nickel on all 72 mating contacts provides superior corrosion resistance and stable low contact resistance compared to tin-plated alternatives, making TSM-136-01-TL-DH-A-K-TR more suitable for industrial and high-reliability environments with elevated humidity or vibration.
Which alternative TSM part should be considered if fewer than 72 pins are needed for the same 0.100" grid?
SAMTEC's TSM series is available in pin counts from 10 to over 100 positions on the same 0.100" (2.54 mm) dual-row pitch, so designers can step down to 62-position TSM-131 or 56-position TSM-128 variants while retaining the same footprint geometry and gold contact finish.
