Key Features
- 36-position dual-row 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch SMT terminal strip in single-row horizontal (SH) configuration, providing 36 contacts for high pin-count PCB edge interfaces
- TM (tall mount) contact style increases clearance above the PCB surface for cable management and connector access in space-critical assemblies
- A-suffix additional gold plating enhances mating surface durability and corrosion resistance for extended cycle life in harsh-environment applications
Applications
The TSM-136-05-TM-SH-A is designed for high pin-count horizontal PCB edge connections in industrial automation panels, embedded computing backplanes, and telecommunications line cards requiring 36-position dual-row SMT interfaces. The tall-mount horizontal configuration facilitates easy cable access and routing in densely populated PCB assemblies with limited vertical clearance. It is suited for modular instrument front panels, rack-mount servers, and industrial controllers requiring robust SMT connectivity at standard 0.100-inch pitch.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the TM (tall mount) contact style in TSM-136-05-TM-SH-A differ from low-mount variants?
The TM (tall mount) contact style in TSM-136-05-TM-SH-A positions the mating interface higher above the PCB surface compared to low-mount variants, providing additional clearance for cable routing and connector access. This is beneficial in densely populated PCB assemblies where adjacent components restrict access to 36-position horizontal connectors at 0.100-inch pitch.
What is the total contact count of the TSM-136-05-TM-SH-A and how does it benefit signal-intensive designs?
The TSM-136-05-TM-SH-A provides 36 total contacts in a dual-row arrangement with 18 contacts per row at 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch. This high contact count enables routing of up to 36 independent signals or a mix of signal, power, and ground lines in industrial backplane cards, FPGA evaluation boards, and multi-channel data acquisition systems.
Is TSM-136-05-TM-SH-A suitable for automated SMT manufacturing and what reflow profile is supported?
Yes, the TSM-136-05-TM-SH-A is designed for automated SMT pick-and-place assembly and is compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles up to 260°C peak temperature. The horizontal orientation enables precise placement on PCB edge pads, and the SMT termination style supports high-throughput manufacturing for 36-position connectors in industrial and telecommunications applications.
When should engineers choose TSM-136-05-TM-SH-A over TSM-124-03-LM-SH-A for a backplane connector?
Engineers should choose the TSM-136-05-TM-SH-A when a design requires 36 positions rather than 24, and when the tall-mount clearance is needed for cable access above the PCB surface. The TSM-136-05-TM-SH-A provides 12 additional contacts at the same 0.100-inch pitch, making it suitable for backplanes with more complex signal routing or higher channel counts than the 24-position TSM-124 variant accommodates.
