Key Features
- 72-position dual-row SMT layout at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch for high-density board interconnects
- Female mating (FM) interface provides secure positive engagement with compatible male header strips
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging optimized for automated pick-and-place production lines
Applications
The TSM-136-04-FM-DH-A-P-TR is well suited for industrial computing modules, programmable logic controller (PLC) backplanes, and test fixture boards where a high-count, 0.100" pitch SMT female strip must mate reliably with a corresponding male header. Its dual-row 72-position configuration supports applications requiring parallel bus interfaces, multi-channel sensor arrays, or dense power-and-signal connector assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions
For a PLC backplane design, how does the 0.100" pitch of the TSM-136-04-FM-DH-A-P-TR compare to finer-pitch alternatives when board routing space is constrained?
At a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch, the TSM-136-04-FM-DH-A-P-TR places each of its 72 contacts on a grid compatible with standard 100-mil design rules, allowing wider PCB trace widths and easier signal routing compared to 0.050" pitch alternatives. The tradeoff is a longer connector body — approximately 3.6 inches for 36 positions per row — which may require careful keepout planning on dense backplane layouts.
Which mating header is compatible with the TSM-136-04-FM-DH-A-P-TR, and how many mating cycles can the connection withstand?
The TSM-136-04-FM-DH-A-P-TR mates with Samtec TSM-series male headers sharing the same 0.100" (2.54 mm) dual-row pitch. Samtec TSM-series connectors are typically rated for a minimum of 30 mating cycles under standard conditions, with contact resistance typically below 20 milliohms, making them suitable for test fixtures and field-replaceable module interfaces.
How does tape-and-reel packaging influence the procurement lead time and minimum order quantity for the TSM-136-04-FM-DH-A-P-TR?
Tape-and-reel packaging for the TSM-136-04-FM-DH-A-P-TR is optimized for production-quantity orders, typically supplied in reels of 250 to 500 pieces per reel. This packaging format reduces per-unit handling cost but may require buyers to purchase full-reel minimum quantities, so low-volume prototyping teams should confirm cut-tape or tray availability with their distributor before placing orders.
