What are the key features of STMM-108-02-TM.SM.LM-D-SM?
- 16-position dual-row shrouded housing at 2.00 mm pitch providing mechanical keying to prevent incorrect cable-to-board mating
- Multiple termination variants (TM/SM/LM) in a single part number for flexible PCB mounting height and orientation requirements
- 2.00 mm pitch shrouded design enables higher contact density than standard 2.54 mm connectors in the same board footprint
What is STMM-108-02-TM.SM.LM-D-SM used for?
The STMM-108-02-TM.SM.LM-D-SM is well-suited for cable-to-board interconnect in industrial control systems, robotics, and embedded computing modules requiring 16 signal channels in a space-efficient 2.00 mm pitch format. Its shrouded housing prevents mis-mating during field service or repeated cable connection operations. The availability of top-mount, side-mount, and low-mount termination styles in the same footprint allows the same PCB layout to accommodate different enclosure height constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the STMM-108-02 series provide, and what is the contact pitch?
The STMM-108-02-TM.SM.LM-D-SM has 16 positions arranged in 2 rows of 8 contacts each, with a 2.00 mm pitch between adjacent contacts. This layout supports routing 16 signal or mixed power-and-signal channels in a compact footprint roughly 20% smaller than an equivalent 2.54 mm pitch connector of the same pin count.
What do the TM, SM, and LM suffixes mean in the STMM-108-02-TM.SM.LM-D-SM part number?
TM denotes a top-mount termination style where the connector body mounts flush to the top surface of the PCB, SM indicates a side-mount style for lower-profile vertical clearance, and LM refers to a low-mount configuration suitable for enclosures with limited vertical space above the PCB. All 3 variants share a common 2.00 mm pitch and 16-position footprint, allowing a single PCB layout to support different mechanical configurations.
For a robotic arm controller with limited vertical clearance above the PCB, which STMM-108 mounting style is most appropriate?
The LM (low-mount) variant of the STMM-108-02-TM.SM.LM-D-SM is the most appropriate for limited vertical clearance applications, as it minimizes the component height above the PCB surface. Typical low-mount profiles reduce standing height by 1 mm to 2 mm compared to top-mount variants, providing the clearance margin needed for enclosure lids or adjacent board layers in stacked-board robotics controllers.
How does the shrouded housing of the STMM-108-02 improve reliability during field cable replacement compared to an unshrouded connector?
The shrouded housing provides a mechanical guide that aligns the cable-side connector to the correct orientation before the contacts mate, preventing bent or crushed pins from mis-mating attempts. This physical keying feature reduces field service errors to near zero in applications where cables are disconnected and reconnected by non-technical personnel, compared to unshrouded connectors where mis-insertion rates can exceed 5% without visual aids.
