Key Features
- 88-position dual-row 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch SMT terminal strip compatible with standard through-hole header footprints
- Female-male (FM) contact variant allows mating with both pin and receptacle counterparts, increasing design flexibility
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables high-volume automated pick-and-place SMT assembly, minimizing handling time
- Polarized (P) keying prevents misalignment and incorrect insertion across 88 positions in field-service environments
Applications
The TSM-144-02-FM-DV-P-TR is well-suited for high-pin-count board-to-board interconnect in industrial automation, embedded computing, and communications equipment. Its 88-position 0.100" pitch layout accommodates legacy parallel bus architectures while taking advantage of SMT manufacturing processes. The female-male contact configuration and polarized keying ensure consistent assembly quality in environments where mating connector orientation must be enforced.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the FM designation mean in TSM-144-02-FM-DV-P-TR?
The FM suffix specifies a female-male contact configuration, meaning one end accepts male pins while the other presents male pins, enabling back-to-back board stacking. This 88-position FM design allows the connector to bridge two PCBs with a 0.100" pitch without requiring a separate intermediate adapter, reducing total connector count and stack height by up to 50% in mezzanine assemblies.
How does the polarized keying feature of the TSM-144-02-FM-DV-P-TR prevent assembly errors?
The -P polarization feature introduces a physical asymmetry in the 88-position dual-row housing that mechanically prevents the connector from seating incorrectly. This is critical in dense backplane systems where 2.54 mm pitch connectors are adjacent, ensuring correct orientation during both factory assembly and field maintenance at operating voltages up to 250 V.
What is the contact pitch and total position count of TSM-144-02-FM-DV-P-TR?
The TSM-144-02-FM-DV-P-TR provides 88 positions in a dual-row layout with a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. This gives 44 positions per row, supporting up to 44 differential pairs or 88 single-ended signals, and the 2.54 mm spacing maintains backward compatibility with through-hole header footprints already on existing PCB designs.
For what kind of production volume is the TSM-144-02-FM-DV-P-TR tape-and-reel packaging best suited?
The -TR tape-and-reel packaging is optimized for mid-to-high production volumes typically exceeding 500 boards per lot. Reels carry several hundred to over 1,000 connectors per reel, allowing continuous automated pick-and-place operation with 0.1 mm placement accuracy on standard SMT lines, dramatically cutting the per-unit placement time compared to hand-loaded tube packaging.
