Frequently Asked Questions
What does the K suffix indicate on the TSM-136-02-SM-DH-A-K-TR and why is it important in production assemblies?
The K suffix denotes a keyed retention feature that enforces correct mating orientation between the connector and its counterpart. In production assemblies with 72 positions across a 2.54 mm pitch dual-row layout, keying prevents incorrect insertion that could damage signals or power contacts during board assembly.
How does the 72-position configuration of the TSM-136-02-SM-DH-A-K-TR compare to the 70-position TSM-135 variant?
The TSM-136-02-SM-DH-A-K-TR provides 72 positions at .100" (2.54 mm) pitch compared to 70 positions in the TSM-135 series. The additional 2 positions offer 2 extra signal or power lines per connector, accommodating designs that require slightly more channel capacity within the same pitch standard.
Which procurement considerations apply when sourcing the TSM-136-02-SM-DH-A-K-TR for a high-volume production run?
The TR (tape-and-reel) packaging of the TSM-136-02-SM-DH-A-K-TR is optimized for automated SMT pick-and-place assembly, making it suitable for high-volume production. Buyers should confirm reel quantity per order (typically 500 to 1000 pieces per reel) and check lead times, as the 72-position dual-row connector may carry longer factory lead times than standard single-row parts.
