Frequently Asked Questions
What contact material and mating finish does the TMS-103-01-L-S use for signal integrity?
The TMS-103-01-L-S uses phosphor bronze contacts with a 10 µin Gold over 50 µin Nickel mating finish. Phosphor bronze provides excellent spring resilience for reliable contact force, while the gold finish ensures low contact resistance and corrosion protection across many mating cycles in signal interface applications.
How quickly can engineers source the TMS-103-01-L-S for production builds?
The TMS-103-01-L-S has a factory lead time of just 1 week, making it one of the faster-procured connectors in the SAMTEC TMS family. This short lead time reduces production scheduling risk and supports agile hardware development cycles for 3-position board connector requirements.
In what PCB layouts is a 3-position single-row connector like the TMS-103-01-L-S preferred over multi-row alternatives?
A 3-position single-row connector like the TMS-103-01-L-S is preferred when PCB real estate is limited and only 3 signals or power rails need routing. Its single-row layout minimizes connector body width, making it suitable for narrow PCB edge configurations, sensor breakout boards, and small-form-factor embedded modules where multi-row connectors would be physically impractical.
Is the TMS-103-01-L-S RoHS compliant and suitable for lead-free manufacturing processes?
Yes, the TMS-103-01-L-S is fully RoHS compliant and uses a tin-over-nickel barrier termination contact compatible with standard lead-free solder reflow processes. This makes it suitable for environmentally regulated product categories including consumer electronics, medical devices, and industrial automation equipment sold in European and Asian markets.
