What are the key features of TSM-136-05-FM-SH-A?

  • 36 dual-row positions on 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch delivering high-density signal routing in a compact surface mount horizontal footprint
  • Shrouded housing with fully-mated design preventing mis-mating and providing mechanical retention on vibration-prone PCB assemblies
  • SMT horizontal orientation enabling low-profile board-to-board and board-to-cable connections in space-constrained enclosures

What is TSM-136-05-FM-SH-A used for?

TSM-136-05-FM-SH-A suits high-density board-to-board interconnects in industrial control systems, backplane assemblies, and embedded computing modules requiring 36 positions on a 0.100" pitch. The shrouded horizontal SMT design provides keyed, polarized mating for reliable connections in vibration environments such as motor drives and robotics controllers. It simplifies automated PCB reflow assembly while maintaining mechanical integrity in ruggedized equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What pitch and position count does TSM-136-05-FM-SH-A offer, and how does its shrouded housing help in vibration environments?

TSM-136-05-FM-SH-A provides 36 positions on 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch in a dual-row layout. The shrouded fully-mated housing prevents accidental disconnection and mis-insertion in vibrating environments such as industrial motor drives and robotics controllers, where unshrouded connectors can disengage under 5 G to 20 G vibration loads.

How does the horizontal SMT orientation of TSM-136-05-FM-SH-A affect PCB height clearance in enclosure designs?

The horizontal single-row SMT orientation of TSM-136-05-FM-SH-A keeps the mated assembly profile below 10 mm above the PCB surface, compared to vertical connectors that can exceed 15 mm. This low-profile footprint is critical for embedded computing boards and industrial control modules installed in shallow DIN-rail enclosures with less than 25 mm interior height.

For an industrial backplane requiring 36 signal lines, when is TSM-136-05-FM-SH-A preferred over a card-edge connector?

TSM-136-05-FM-SH-A is preferred when the mating PCB cannot have a card-edge routed but does have a matching 36-pin terminal strip footprint. The shrouded housing provides positive keying for field-replacement safety, and the 0.100" pitch allows 36 connections in under 50 mm of board width, making it suitable for modular backplane systems with field-installable boards.

What is the typical current rating per contact for TSM-136-05-FM-SH-A, and what does this mean for power rail assignments?

SAMTEC TSM series contacts at 0.100" pitch are rated at 3 A per contact. For a 36-position connector, designers can allocate multiple contacts in parallel for power rails, such as 3 contacts at 3 A each providing up to 9 A for a 3.3 V or 5 V supply, while the remaining 33 positions handle signal lines in backplane or module interconnect designs.
