What are the key features of TSM-138-01-S-DV-P-TR?

  • 76-position dual-row configuration with 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch, delivering high contact density for PCB edge connectors and cable mating interfaces
  • Surface mount termination with tape-and-reel (TR) packaging for seamless integration into automated SMT pick-and-place production lines
  • Industry-standard 2.54 mm pitch ensures broad compatibility with existing cable assemblies, IDC connectors, and mating headers

What is TSM-138-01-S-DV-P-TR used for?

The TSM-138-01-S-DV-P-TR is well-suited for use as a PCB terminal strip in embedded computing backplanes, industrial I/O expansion boards, and signal routing panels, where 76 contacts must interface with ribbon cables or wire harnesses at the standard 2.54 mm pitch. Its dual-row SMT design enables stable solder joints on automated assembly lines, reducing manual through-hole soldering labor. The connector is also used in prototype development boards and test jigs requiring a high pin count header compatible with standard IDC ribbon cable assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many positions and rows does the TSM-138-01-S-DV-P-TR provide, and what is its pitch?

The TSM-138-01-S-DV-P-TR has 76 positions arranged in 2 rows with a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch, spanning approximately 96.5 mm of board length. This standard pitch is compatible with IDC ribbon cable assemblies and dual-row header mating connectors used throughout industrial and embedded computing platforms.

Why is TSM-138-01-S-DV-P-TR supplied in tape-and-reel format and how does this affect assembly?

The TR suffix means the connector ships on a standard carrier tape, enabling automated pick-and-place machines to place hundreds of 76-position SMT strips per hour without manual handling. This reduces placement error rates and assembly cycle times for high-volume PCB production compared to cut-tape or tray-packaged alternatives.

What board-level applications best utilize the TSM-138-01-S-DV-P-TR dual-row terminal strip?

The 76-position dual-row layout is optimal for industrial backplane I/O modules, embedded single-board computers, and data acquisition systems that route 38 differential pairs or 76 single-ended signals to a ribbon cable harness. The 0.100" pitch accommodates 28 AWG conductors in a standard 76-way IDC connector for field wiring to sensors and actuators.

How does the surface mount termination of TSM-138-01-S-DV-P-TR compare to through-hole terminal strips in the same position count?

SMT termination eliminates the need to drill 76 plated through-holes in the PCB, saving approximately 15% of PCB fabrication cost on 4-layer boards. The reflow solder joint also provides a co-planar connection to the pad, reducing lead inductance at signal frequencies above 100 MHz compared to long through-hole lead tails.
