What are the key features of TSM-102-05-LM-SH?
- 2-position dual-row configuration at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch delivers reliable signal connections in a space-efficient SMD footprint
- SH shrouded housing prevents mis-mating and protects contacts from debris, improving reliability in harsh or high-vibration environments
- LM low-profile surface-mount termination compatible with standard reflow soldering and automated PCB assembly pick-and-place processes
What is TSM-102-05-LM-SH used for?
The TSM-102-05-LM-SH is used in compact embedded systems and consumer electronics where a 2-position 0.100" pitch SMD terminal strip with shrouded housing provides secure wire-to-board connections. Its low-profile surface-mount style suits wearable devices, IoT nodes, and industrial sensors that require reliable connectors within tight height budgets. The shrouded design makes it particularly useful in automated assembly lines where keying and mis-mating prevention reduce field failures.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the SH designator indicate in TSM-102-05-LM-SH and how does it affect connector reliability?
The SH designator in SAMTEC TSM series stands for shrouded housing, which adds a plastic retention wall around the 2-position dual-row 0.100" pitch contacts. This shroud provides keying to prevent 180-degree mis-mating and protects the contacts from mechanical damage and contamination during PCB handling. The shroud height is typically 2mm to 4mm above the contact row, improving reliability in automated cable assembly and industrial equipment subject to vibration.
For a 2-pin SMD connector at 2.54mm pitch, when does TSM-102-05-LM-SH outperform a standard through-hole alternative?
TSM-102-05-LM-SH outperforms through-hole 2.54mm pitch alternatives when PCB thickness restrictions below 1.6mm prohibit through-hole drilling, or when double-sided assembly requires all components to use reflow soldering in a single pass. The LM surface-mount termination eliminates wave solder or selective solder operations for this 2-position connector, reducing manufacturing cost by approximately 15% to 20% in high-volume SMD-only assembly lines.
How many mating cycles is TSM-102-05-LM-SH rated for, and what wire gauge does the mating plug accept?
SAMTEC TSM series terminal strips are rated for a minimum of 30 mating cycles under standard operating conditions. The mating plug for the SH shrouded variant accepts wire gauges from 28 AWG to 22 AWG in a crimp or insulation displacement contact (IDC) format, with a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing between the 2 positions. Contact resistance is specified below 30 milliohms at rated current to maintain signal integrity in low-voltage logic connections.
Can TSM-102-05-LM-SH be used in automotive applications operating from -40°C to +85°C environments?
SAMTEC TSM series surface-mount terminal strips are rated for operating temperatures from -55°C to +125°C, which exceeds the automotive AEC-Q100 Grade 1 temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. The 2-position 0.100" pitch TSM-102-05-LM-SH is compatible with automotive sensor modules and body electronics assemblies. However, automotive qualification depends on the full application, and users should confirm AEC-Q200 component qualification status with SAMTEC for safety-critical automotive designs.
