What are the key features of TSM-136-03-T-DH-A-K-TR?
- 72 positions on 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch for very high signal density in standard SMT grid layouts
- Dual-row design maximizes contact count while keeping connector body length manageable
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging for seamless integration with automated pick-and-place equipment
- Surface mount termination enables standard reflow soldering without through-hole drilling
- Standard 0.100 inch grid compatible with a wide range of mating headers and backplane connectors
- Suitable for repeated mating cycles in industrial and instrumentation field applications
What is TSM-136-03-T-DH-A-K-TR used for?
The TSM-136-03-T-DH-A-K-TR 72-position terminal strip supports high pin-count board interconnection in embedded computing backplanes, industrial PLC expansion modules, and data acquisition front-end boards that use the standard 2.54 mm grid. Its tape-and-reel form factor and surface mount termination make it the preferred choice for high-volume SMT production in telecommunications, test and measurement, and industrial automation equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 72-position TSM-136-03-T-DH-A-K-TR differ from the 70-position TSM-135 in terms of PCB footprint and application fit?
The TSM-136-03-T-DH-A-K-TR adds 2 positions over the TSM-135, bringing the total to 72 pins on the same 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) dual-row pitch. The slightly longer footprint accommodates one additional row pair, making it suitable when the bus interface requires exactly 72 signals, such as a 72-bit wide data bus.
What does the tape-and-reel (TR) packaging mean for production planning when ordering the TSM-136-03-T-DH-A-K-TR?
The TR suffix confirms the TSM-136-03-T-DH-A-K-TR ships in tape-and-reel format, which is required for automated SMT pick-and-place machines. Procurement teams should note that tape-and-reel typically has a minimum order quantity of 250 to 1000 pieces per reel, affecting lot sizing and inventory planning for production runs.
Can the TSM-136-03-T-DH-A-K-TR be used as a drop-in SMT replacement for a 72-position through-hole dual-row header on the same 0.100 inch grid?
The TSM-136-03-T-DH-A-K-TR is the SMT version of a 72-position, 0.100 inch dual-row header, so the contact grid matches. However, the PCB pad and courtyard footprint will differ from the through-hole version; the PCB layout must be revised with the correct SMT land pattern before swapping connector types.
For a 72-position bus connector on an industrial backplane, what RoHS and lifecycle considerations apply to the TSM-136-03-T-DH-A-K-TR?
SAMTEC TSM series connectors are designed for RoHS-compliant, lead-free assembly, making the TSM-136-03-T-DH-A-K-TR suitable for industrial equipment exported to the EU. Buyers sourcing for multi-year production programs should confirm lifecycle status with SAMTEC directly, as connector series can have product change notices affecting 72-position variants.
