What are the key features of TSM-139-03-TL-DV-P-TR?

  • 78-position dual-row layout on 2.54 mm (0.100") pitch enabling high-density surface mount interconnection
  • Top-loaded (TL) contact termination style for low-profile SMT applications with standard reflow compatibility
  • Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging supporting automated pick-and-place assembly in high-volume production
  • Dual-row (DV) configuration halving the connector footprint length compared to a single-row 78-position strip
  • Gold-plated contacts for low insertion loss and corrosion resistance in industrial and instrumentation environments

What is TSM-139-03-TL-DV-P-TR used for?

The TSM-139-03-TL-DV-P-TR is designed for backplane interconnects, expansion card interfaces, and mezzanine module connections in industrial control, test and measurement, and communications equipment. Its 78-position dual-row format allows routing of a large number of data, power, and control signals across a compact SMT footprint. The tape-and-reel format makes it suitable for fully automated PCB assembly lines producing high volumes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many contact positions does the TSM-139-03-TL-DV-P-TR provide, and how are they arranged?

The TSM-139-03-TL-DV-P-TR provides 78 contact positions arranged in a dual-row (DV) configuration on a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch. This dual-row arrangement reduces the connector's PCB footprint length by approximately half compared to a single-row 78-position strip, making it well suited for space-constrained backplane and mezzanine designs.

What does the TL designation in TSM-139-03-TL-DV-P-TR indicate about its termination style?

The TL designation stands for top-loaded termination, meaning the contacts are inserted or loaded from the top of the housing. This design allows for a low-profile surface mount configuration that sits flat against the PCB surface, enabling thin-profile assemblies and straightforward reflow soldering at standard SMT process temperatures.

For which automated assembly formats is the TSM-139-03-TL-DV-P-TR best suited?

The -TR suffix confirms the TSM-139-03-TL-DV-P-TR ships in tape-and-reel format, making it fully compatible with automated pick-and-place machines used in SMT production. This packaging supports reel quantities for high-volume runs, eliminating manual handling of the 78-position connector and ensuring consistent placement accuracy on the PCB land pattern.

How does the dual-row 0.100-inch pitch of the TSM-139-03-TL-DV-P-TR compare to alternative connector strategies for 78 signals?

Routing 78 signals through a single-row 0.100-inch strip would require a connector approximately 197 mm long, whereas the dual-row layout of the TSM-139-03-TL-DV-P-TR achieves the same 78 positions in roughly 99 mm, saving about 98 mm of PCB edge length. For backplane or expansion card applications constrained to a 100 mm board dimension, this dual-row approach is often the only viable SMT solution.
