Frequently Asked Questions
How many signal lines can TSM-136-03-SM-DH-A-K-TR support in a dual-row backplane design?
TSM-136-03-SM-DH-A-K-TR provides 72 total positions arranged in 2 rows of 36 contacts each, all on a 2.54 mm pitch. This allows routing up to 72 independent signal lines in a single connector footprint, making it practical for FPGA I/O expansion or backplane bus architectures.
Does the tape-and-reel packaging of TSM-136-03-SM-DH-A-K-TR support high-volume SMT production lines?
Yes. The -TR suffix designates tape-and-reel packaging, which is fully compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment operating at high placement rates. Each reel holds hundreds of 72-position connectors, reducing feed changeover time and enabling efficient SMT production runs of thousands of units.
When should engineers choose TSM-136-03-SM-DH-A-K-TR over a through-hole terminal strip for an instrumentation board?
Surface-mount connectors like TSM-136-03-SM-DH-A-K-TR are preferred when both sides of the PCB must be used for components, as the SMD footprint eliminates 72 through-holes that would otherwise block routing layers. This is especially valuable in dense multi-layer designs with 4 or more layers where via density is a limiting constraint.
