Key Features
- 72-position dual-row terminal strip at 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch for high pin-count SMT applications
- Locking (-K) and polarization (-A) features prevent unmating and incorrect orientation in field use
- Surface mount termination compatible with standard lead-free reflow soldering at 260°C
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging for automated pick-and-place in volume production
- Single-row SMT variant (-S) offering flexible integration across dual-header board designs
Applications
TSM-136-02-S-DH-A-K-TR is applied in high-density computing boards, FPGA development platforms, and multi-channel industrial control systems requiring 72-pin surface-mount connectivity at standard 0.100-inch pitch. The locking and polarization post options protect against field assembly errors and inadvertent unmating in vibration-prone environments. Tape-and-reel packaging enables efficient automated assembly for volume production runs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the locking feature on TSM-136-02-S-DH-A-K-TR improve connector reliability in vibration environments?
The -K locking feature provides a mechanical retention mechanism that prevents accidental unmating under vibration or shock. For 72-pin connectors in industrial or transportation systems, this locking action is critical to maintaining signal integrity at all 72 positions during operation.
What total pin count and pitch does TSM-136-02-S-DH-A-K-TR support for dual-header SMT designs?
TSM-136-02-S-DH-A-K-TR offers 72 positions at 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch in a dual-row configuration. This provides a high-density footprint that fits standard 0.100-inch mating connectors while keeping the total PCB area compact for compute or control applications.
Is TSM-136-02-S-DH-A-K-TR available in tape-and-reel and compatible with standard reflow soldering?
Yes. The -TR suffix specifies tape-and-reel packaging for automated pick-and-place assembly. The surface-mount termination is compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes with peak temperatures around 260°C, allowing integration into standard high-volume SMT production lines.
How does TSM-136-02-S-DH-A-K-TR compare to the 36-position TSM-118 variant for larger PCB designs?
TSM-136-02-S-DH-A-K-TR doubles the pin count to 72 positions compared to the 36-position TSM-118 family, making it the right choice when more than 36 signal or power connections are needed in a single 0.100-inch pitch connector footprint.
