Key Features
- 76-position dual-row terminal strip at 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch for high-position-count surface-mount signal routing
- Surface-mount termination with tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables automated pick-and-place assembly in volume production
- Dual-row configuration with 38 contacts per row maximizes signal density across a standard 2.54 mm pitch footprint
- Compatible with industry-standard 0.100-inch pitch mating headers for broad interoperability across PCB designs
Applications
The TSM-138-05-FM-DV-P-TR is ideal for backplane interconnects, FPGA evaluation boards, and industrial I/O expansion modules that require 76 signal positions in a familiar 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch dual-row surface-mount format. Its tape-and-reel packaging makes it well-suited for automated SMT production lines, reducing handling time in medium-to-high volume manufacturing. Test and measurement equipment and embedded computing platforms also benefit from its high position count and standard pitch for interfacing diverse peripheral signals.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the TSM-138-05-FM-DV-P-TR have and how are they arranged across its dual-row layout?
The TSM-138-05-FM-DV-P-TR provides 76 total positions arranged in a dual-row format with 38 contacts per row, all on a standard 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch. This makes it one of SAMTEC's higher position-count terminal strips in the TSM series for surface-mount applications.
What does the TR suffix on TSM-138-05-FM-DV-P-TR indicate and how does it benefit volume PCB manufacturing?
The TR suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging, which feeds the TSM-138-05-FM-DV-P-TR directly into automated pick-and-place SMT assembly equipment. This eliminates manual connector placement for 76-position parts, improving placement accuracy and throughput in medium-to-high volume production runs while reducing assembly labor costs.
Is the 0.100-inch pitch of the TSM-138-05-FM-DV-P-TR compatible with standard mating headers available from multiple suppliers?
Yes, the 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch is an industry-standard spacing used by numerous connector manufacturers globally. TSM-138-05-FM-DV-P-TR mates with standard 2.54 mm pitch dual-row headers, giving designers flexibility to source mating connectors from SAMTEC or compatible alternatives, which simplifies supply chain management for 76-position interconnects.
For a backplane design needing over 70 signal lines at 2.54 mm pitch in SMT format, is the TSM-138-05-FM-DV-P-TR a practical solution?
Yes, the TSM-138-05-FM-DV-P-TR is an excellent fit, offering 76 positions at 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch in a surface-mount terminal strip format. The dual-row, 38-contact-per-row layout keeps the connector compact while providing more than enough positions for 70-signal backplane routing, and tape-and-reel availability ensures efficient volume assembly.
