Key Features
- 36 positions in a 2×18 dual-row layout on 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch for broad mating compatibility with standard receptacles
- Right-angle (L) orientation enabling horizontal cable or card exit perpendicular to the PCB plane for low-profile assemblies
- Shrouded housing (SH) providing keyed polarization to prevent mis-mating in field-serviceable panel connectors
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enabling automated SMT pick-and-place on high-volume production lines
Applications
The TSM-136-05-L-SH-P-TR is commonly used in industrial control enclosures, embedded computing cards, and test fixtures where a 36-pin 0.100" right-angle dual-row header with polarization shroud is needed to connect ribbon cables or mating receptacles exiting parallel to the PCB surface. Its right-angle profile keeps the overall assembly height low, which is essential in 1U rack-mount and compact embedded form factors. The shrouded housing ensures correct cable orientation during field maintenance, reducing mis-wiring errors in connector-dense panels.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the right-angle orientation of the TSM-136-05-L-SH-P-TR affect PCB assembly height compared to a vertical header?
The right-angle (L) configuration routes the mating ribbon cable or receptacle parallel to the PCB surface rather than perpendicular, reducing the overall assembly height above the board by eliminating the vertical connector protrusion. For a 36-pin 0.100" strip, this can save 8 mm to 12 mm of vertical clearance compared to a vertical TSM variant, which is critical in 1U server enclosures or shallow embedded panels with less than 25 mm of internal clearance.
What does the shrouded housing (SH) feature provide, and why is it important for field-serviceable connectors?
The shrouded housing surrounds the 36 contacts with a protective plastic wall and typically includes a keying tab that physically prevents a mating connector from being inserted in the wrong orientation. This polarization is essential in field-serviceable installations where technicians may install or swap ribbon cables without the benefit of PCB silkscreen labels, eliminating the risk of reversed insertion that could damage components supplied by 3.3 V or 5 V rails across 36 signal lines simultaneously.
Can the TSM-136-05-L-SH-P-TR mate with standard 36-pin IDC ribbon-cable connectors?
Yes. The 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch dual-row layout of the TSM-136-05-L-SH-P-TR is the standard pitch for IDC ribbon-cable connectors and matches the footprint of 36-pin (2×18) female IDC plugs widely available from multiple manufacturers. This compatibility allows designers to use commodity 36-pin ribbon cables up to several hundred millimeters in length for board-to-panel or board-to-board cabling in industrial automation, data-acquisition, and test-and-measurement enclosures.
For a production build of 1000 PCBs, what assembly advantages does the tape-and-reel packaging of the TSM-136-05-L-SH-P-TR offer?
Tape-and-reel packaging delivers each connector in a precise cavity on a continuous carrier tape, allowing placement machines to pick parts at rates of 3,000 to 5,000 components per hour without operator intervention. For a build of 1,000 boards each requiring one 36-pin header, a single reel of 500 pieces covers half the run, minimizing reel changeover stops and reducing total assembly cycle time by approximately 15–20% compared to cut-tape or tray formats that require manual feeder reloading.
