Frequently Asked Questions
How many signal positions does TSM-136-04-F-DH-A-K-TR provide, and what is its contact pitch?
TSM-136-04-F-DH-A-K-TR offers 72 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration on a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch. This density makes it practical for compact PCB layouts that must route large numbers of digital or analog signals through a single surface mount connector footprint.
Which PCB assembly processes are compatible with the surface mount termination of TSM-136-04-F-DH-A-K-TR?
The surface mount termination style of TSM-136-04-F-DH-A-K-TR is compatible with standard SMT reflow soldering processes at typical lead-free peak temperatures around 260°C. The tape-and-reel packaging (TR suffix) enables high-speed automated pick-and-place placement at production volumes, reducing assembly cycle time.
When should a designer choose TSM-136-04-F-DH-A-K-TR over a through-hole terminal strip for a backplane interface?
Surface mount parts like TSM-136-04-F-DH-A-K-TR eliminate the need for drilled through-holes, freeing inner PCB layers for routing signals. With 72 positions at 0.100 inch pitch, the SMT format reduces board thickness constraints and is preferred in multilayer backplane designs where via density is already high.
What current rating per contact should engineers budget when using TSM-136-04-F-DH-A-K-TR in a power or signal hybrid bus?
Samtec 0.100-inch pitch TSM-series connectors are typically rated for approximately 3 A per contact in signal service. When used in a 72-position connector for mixed power-and-signal buses, designers should derate contacts carrying continuous DC and verify thermal rise stays within the connector's rated temperature range.
