What are the key features of TSM-102-05-LM-DV-P?

  • 4-position dual-row 0.100" pitch SMT terminal strip with pin-retainer (P) to maintain contact alignment through automated reflow soldering
  • Dual-vertical (DV) termination style allows the connector to be populated on both sides of the board for maximum layout flexibility
  • Low-profile mating (LM) option reduces the overall connector height, ideal for space-constrained assemblies and thin PCB stacks

What is TSM-102-05-LM-DV-P used for?

The TSM-102-05-LM-DV-P is designed for compact surface mount interconnect applications in wearable electronics, miniaturized industrial sensors, and portable medical devices that require a small-footprint 4-position dual-row connector. The low-profile mating and dual-vertical termination features support flexible PCB layout options in thin enclosures where connector height must be minimized. Its pin-retainer ensures repeatable contact placement during high-volume SMT reflow processes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the low-profile mating (LM) option affect the overall height of the TSM-102-05-LM-DV-P assembly?

The low-profile mating (LM) designation indicates the connector's mated height is reduced compared to standard mating configurations, typically cutting the mated stack height to under 5 mm. This is critical in wearable devices and portable instruments where PCB-to-enclosure clearance may be as little as 3 mm to 6 mm.

What benefit does the pin-retainer option provide for the 4-position TSM-102-05-LM-DV-P during reflow soldering?

The pin-retainer (P) secures all 4-position dual-row contacts in their precise 0.100" pitch positions during the reflow soldering cycle, preventing thermal-induced pin movement. This reduces solder bridging defects and improves first-pass yield on SMT production lines, particularly when soldering at peak temperatures above 250°C.

For which compact electronic applications is a 4-position dual-row SMT connector most appropriate?

A 4-position dual-row TSM configuration providing 8 contacts total at 0.100" pitch is well suited for small digital interfaces, SPI or I2C sensor connections, and power-plus-ground distribution in miniaturized IoT nodes, wearable health monitors, and compact industrial sensor modules.

How does dual-vertical (DV) termination on the TSM-102-05-LM-DV-P expand PCB design flexibility?

Dual-vertical (DV) termination allows the connector to be mounted with leads terminating downward through the board in two rows, enabling symmetrical pad patterns that suit both standard reflow and selective soldering approaches. Designers can also use this feature to distribute 8 solder joints across 2 rows, improving mechanical retention strength compared to single-row alternatives.
